If the log size allows and I'm feeling motivated, I'll leave my stamp, which is my avatar.

If the log book is big enough, i put my stamp in:

Been using it for about 5 years now:

 

 

It's less than 3/4 of an inch and I also have one a little smaller (less than 1/2 an inch) for tinier logs.

i was just curious as to where you guys had those made for you at?

We use labels with our names filled with a sunset color for mine and camouflage for my son.

Mine's hand carved from an eraser. Gives it that rustic look, and is free.

Local print shop here. More expensive ($15 or so) but I'm not handy at carving. I did have to make the design myself which the shop then scanned for the stamp. There are online places to order from also. One thing to remember: don't just look at the size of the imprint but also look at the size of the stamper itself. I know a couple of people that got small imprints (1/4" X 1.5" or so) but the stamper is about the size of a pack of cigarettes. My stamper is close in size to a roll of nickels.

I was browsing for something else and stumbled upon this:

I've never ordered from them and only glanced at what's available. Smallest is a 5/8" round stamp.

 

I made a free (+ shipping) stamp, text only, no graphics, when I started geocaching, but hardly ever use them. Needs a flat surface, needs more space in logbook. And since I need to take my pen out to write the date anyway, it takes more time than just signing with a pen.

 

My daughters use a Chinese name stamp (chop) when they go letterboxing. Hand carved in China when I was there on a business trip.

 

To Corp of Discovery : do you have a photo of your stamper?

As members are we allowed to include the " Goecaching.com" logo with our own logo on a stamp ? or is it a bad idea ?

I take that to be "yes". However, bear in mind that it takes up valuable real estate on a tiny stamp.

We would like to get one but haven't. I think caching would be much more interesting if it was like letter boxing regarding stamps.

 

I am embarrassed to say that i did spend a bit of time designing and cutting out a stamp for us. Halfway through carving I realized that I hadn't carved it backwards. Dummy.

Here ya go:

 

 

That's a nickel and a dime container for comparison.

 

Forgot to add: my main reason for using a stamp is that my handwriting is very bad.

Thanks, appreciate it!

 

My handwriting is pretty atrocious too. To compensate, I use a red pen. If ever challenged by a cache owner (hasn't happened yet), I'd ask them to look for a scrawl starting with "c" in red

[+poisonspider]

One reason I started thinking a stamp may help occasionally is my first find was small and although well protected..and after being rolled many times the paper was on the soft side . Signing log requires being very carefull as paper was delicate. In that type of case I think a stamp may help.

I've seen many double posts, a few triples, one quadruple, but I never thought I'd see quintuple posts

 

Just so that this is not a useless post, I found the link for the free rubber stamp. They charge like $5.45 for shipping though the last time I ordered. Different color ink, stamp, font options, etc. are all extra.

If link doesn't work, just go to Vista Print's website and look for free products.
