+Clarkbowman Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 The samples are in and pre orders will be starting May 20th at Cache Addict.com Now I need an icon, Your mission is to design a icon for the 3rd Annual Celebrate Summer Event Coin, post as many entries as you wish by midnight June 3rd, central time. As long as the coin sells over 250 coins it will have its own icon and if yours is chosen, you will receive a free 3rd Annual Celebrate Summer Event Coin once they are in. The board for the event will choose a winner. Thanks and good luck Quote Link to comment
+GATOULIS Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Oh!!! beautiful coin!!!!! I wish I could had the talent to make designs or to knew how to make icons, but I really believe that no icon is better that the lovely sun that is on the coin!!!! I do not know if this post will count as an entry.... I am posting the photo with the sun from your coin! now what is in my head... the rays to be complete, and the font to be light blue!!! Of course just the sun would be great too!!!! Quote Link to comment
+opalsns Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I was working on this for awhile, adding different things and taking away things. I didn't realize Gotoolis posted an entry of the coins sun untill I came to post the icon. I didn't copy his idea. Quote Link to comment
+seekerfamily Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 How did you design the icon? Quote Link to comment
+opalsns Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 How did you design the icon? I have the Picture It software that came with my computer. Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I'm at work (shhh... hey, i needed a break, my brain was starting to fuzz!) and all I have access to is ms paint... If someone else who's got photoshop wants to try to clean it up better than I did, here's the bigger image too: Thanks for the cointest, and really pretty coin! Nice job! Quote Link to comment
+seekerfamily Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Not much of an artist but here is our icon suggestion Quote Link to comment
+Mar-elendili Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Beautiful coin, and as all suncatchers, it must be even better out in the sunlight! Great job! Here's my icon submission : Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) I liked seekerfamily's Alabama idea since it's an event coin, so I incorporated the state outline... with a couple coloring options: my shrunken size might be a little off b/c im still using ms paint, but i still have the larger image saved.. it can be resized to the exact dimensions on my home computer.

+SgtMikal Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Here is my attempt - I'm not very good at this sort of stuff... Quote Link to comment
+opalsns Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I think it's a great icon, Sarge!!!!!!!! Good Job Opalsns Quote Link to comment
+SgtMikal Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I think it's a great icon, Sarge!!!!!!!! Good Job Opalsns Thanx, opalsns. Any idea when a decision on the winner is made? I saw that the entries must be in by midnight on 6/3, but that was all that it said. Quote Link to comment
+opalsns Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I believe it has to go through the Event Committe for a vote , so Probablly a couple of weeks anyway. Opalsns Quote Link to comment
+Clarkbowman Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 (edited) Well the verdict is in, and both of these are basically the same idea, one just did not have the ability for the art work, so here is the deal. If my sales get up over 250 so that we get the icon, you both WIN. Thanks for all the great entries. Some great ideas out there. ORDER your coins now, Only a few days left and the Event could use your help.

+GATOULIS Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 WOW! thank you for that!!! Yes! I do not know how to do icons! I hope you will sell more than 250 my friend! ...not only for the winning coin but because it is a beautiful coin!!! So, you need 250 for an icon? why I had the feeling that you needed less than 250 to get an icon?? I think I read that somewhere, but I may be wrong! Quote Link to comment
+ThirstyMick Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Cool Thanks!!! Just noticed this, I hadn't checked into the forums in a few days... Good luck with sales and with the event!! Quote Link to comment
+Clarkbowman Posted June 11, 2009 Author Share Posted June 11, 2009 Sales are slow at this point on the coin, We need every one to get their orders in so we can get the icon before sales end. Cache Addict Quote Link to comment
