You Design It!!!

For all of you graphic wizards out there, I'm calling on you for some help. I am going to be doing some new wooden signature coins real soon and need help with the design. I am no good at attempting nor do I have the software to design a graphic for the coin. I got some wooden "coins" from Michaels craft store that are about the size of a 50 cent piece. What I am thinking is having somebody hopefully help me come up with a design for it. I hear that they make a transparent sticker type sheet that you can print off. I'm thinking that if I get a design made about the size of a 50 cent piece, I can print off a bunch of the designs on a sheet, then lacquering it on the wooden coin. Does this sound like it would work?

 

Whoever's design is picked will have the #1 coin made into a TB and sent to a cache near them. I would like the design to have a outdoor theme to it. If you want, it can have a front and back design to it.

 

Thanks for you help!!

I'd like to throw in my proverbial hat, (or real nickel design.)

 

Question, do you want it to include the GC logo?

 

Sure!! The logo can be put on the coin. If the winning design has the logo, I just have to get permission to use it I think.

Hmmmm, a MacGyver weasel. Interesting. Lets see some of those designs!! I'm open for just about any type of design. You can design it double sided if ya want!!

Picture this:

 

A really cute weasel plugging a bomb detonator into a cactus. (That would be from show #2 of the first season and the last time I ever watched McG.)

Actually, it should be a really cute weasel using a cactus to power his GPSr.

I don't know if I can help design a logo but I definitely do not want to see Micheal fart, and I sure as hell don't want any "coins' from him.

. . . Does anybody know about or have tried any of this transparent printer paper that you can use for stickers?

Check out Myarch's Wooden Geotokens and the instructions on how to make them. Myarch apparently used Chartpak Pickett Drafting Applique Film With Film Backing. The geotokens turned out great.

Thanks for the tip Fisur!!!

 

Still looking for some designs

Okay, start with the geocaching guy from KeenPeople.com, tweak it a little, change your name to Catman and you have this:

(Sorry, but I don't know how to draw a weasel.)

 

Happy New Year.

lol, this has some promise. Come on folks. I KNOW there are some graphics people out there. Don't be shy!!

 

If I don't get anymore choices, I will have to go with Jeremy's avatar (If he would let me).

I know you can transfer toner from laser printer output to other materials using acetone (that's the first step in making your own rubber stamps), and the detail comes out very well. I'm not sure if it would work on color laser toner, however. If so, it would be pretty easy to transfer artwork to wooden blanks. You'd just have to remember to reverse the artwork before printing.

 

Perhaps someone with access to a color laser could test this for us...

How about something like this. Folks liked this guy I made when you were wanting us to design your avatar last July.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH, This will be a tough one to beat!!!

I like it too. It just needs a small cactus in the other hand.......and maybe a Members Only jacket?

I have the wife going out to Office Max to see if she can find some transparent labels to give it a test run to see how it works. When I get a chance, I will try and post a pic

Hiya Navdog,

 

The only things that we need to fix, then we should be golden..

 

1) Reduce the size to 1 and half inches

 

2) Make a copy w/o the wood finish

 

3) Take the #9 off and replace it with 2004

 

Other than that, I think we have a winner!!!!

NICE....wow.....some simple ask for help and you go it......nice to know!!

 

I'll keep that in mind the next time I go to Move to a new house...
