[§I€MFKR™]

It would be sweet, Overclockers Club just did a sweet badge, I think SG should. One for SG and One for Folding.:nod: :nod:

If you come up with a logo, i might be able to get us a special deal from the person i orderd from before on a mass order.

I would but i'm am no artist, I'm sure somebody else can do a way better job:D

Hey, count me in , i'm game ! :nod:

[brembo]

DHD, Bouncer, Ken...honey(lol)..Phillip. Sticky this one eh? I'm sure Oxblood, Indy, EA, Chris....somebody could whip up a snazzy logo and get a group discount(we all pitch in). Heck, you could order like 100 and make a small profit on all sold. I'd LOVE a SG sticker fer my comp, and my car ya know?

[A_old]

lol why don't we ask philip if he's ok with us using his copyrighted logo like that

We're certainly ok with using our logo as long as it is used n connection with the site...

If some of our resident artists can come up with a good idea/logo for a case batch I'm all for it, let me know if I can be of any assistance providing higher quality versions of the current one, etc.

Well, if we plan on using the existing logo a higher res would be helpful. Also we need to know what the dimensions should be. And generally prefered colors from various members seeing as this is not for one person in particular. Also any other specifications that the printer makes. (format to be saved in etc.... BTW, I wouldn't go less than 150 DPI or more than 300 DPI. You are probably not going to see a huge difference between the two unless you are producing larger pieces of work. Anyway, I am going to go out and grab some food and check back in here later to see what's up...

[A_old]

I'll try to whip something up and post here for you guys/gals to see..and if u like, make it..all i want is a free one ;) JK

[Philip]

Case batches are 1x1", I'd go with a higher resolution image, 300x300 should do great... The examples @ http://www.teamgod.net/Vortexpc.htm can give you some ideas.

Here are some files you can use:

main SG logo:
http://www.speedguide.net/~philip/misc/sglogo_web3.psd

Fonts used:
http://www.speedguide.net/~philip/misc/Feb_____.ttf
http://www.speedguide.net/~philip/misc/Fe______.ttf

The way I see it, the batch can contain just "SG", or both large "SG" and smaller speedguide.net somewhere... With some nice background images ;)

[A_old]

kewl gimme a couple of mins to do it for u

[A_old]

Here you go guys.

How many do you think we should order? and who is going to pay for these? where will they be shipped in the mass quantity?

I'll email my connection once i know how many to order, and ill see what she can do.

Let's give it some time and see what else people come up with...

I'd sure like to see Banshee / Ghost / Chris do one as well... Where did you guys hide ? ;) :D

[LT-73]

How about putting the entries to a vote? Get these photoshop and paintshop gurus to work on their finest. I think it'll be a tough call. These guyz do excellent work.

Submit a design on a case badge
Enter it in a poll and vote

This sound like a good idea? I might be way over my head, but i just thought i'd put it out there :D

nice chris!

[A_old]

nice chris, i like it :)

[Chris]

Thanks guys, Yours is cool Amro, looks great.
Only thing I would change on yours would be to pull it in from the sides a bit, know how them badges are with the clear bubble finish, it may distort a bit at the edges.

[A_old]

yup very true, i was hoping for more like the amd sticker type myself..the bubble ones annoy me :)

[A_old]

if u guys want me to make a better one, i will. dunno if it'll be better to u tho..

set up a paypal acct and take payments... once you've reached the $400, order 'em. We can trust you right??:D

I'm in for 10 at $2 apiece

[BaLa]

so whats up with this now?

[TEH WIN]

well i have no way of paying for this.. and my voting thread basicly just died... and no mods are responding

mission failed i guess

i'm interested if anyone else is, just let me know :D

[AceFireball]

I will buy some, but will it this ever take off, you guys have been talking about it for a while. However if u ever do I will definately buy 5-10 at $2

[Mark]

bump,
is anyone working on this anymore ??
:)

[Joint Chiefs of Staff]

Personally after reviewing this thread I think it's a fantastic idea! Nothing like promoting SG.

Has this idea been canceled?

[iaus10]

I'll look into a Paypal account for this venture. Only concern: if enough money cannot be collected, hopefully I won't be stuck paying paypal fees to refund the cash.

[iaus10]

here's another place that does custom badges.
http://www.securisysagency.com/case_badges_custom.html
Thing is, they'll do 10 of them for $1.90 each. 100 of them would be $89.99, or $.90 each. I'd front the cash to get 100, if everyone really wanted all the same badge (it would be a cool show of unity for SG). I'd ask for payment after I get the badges.
The shipping from that company is free, but if I have to mail them out to everyone who orders, it may be not much less than the $2.00 each.
There's a review:
http://www.modthebox.com/review54_1.html

We'd need a 600dpi, 1" x 1" .bmp of whatever we want to order. My vote is still for Amro's design (although they all are pretty sweet).

http://webpages.charter.net/amromousa/sg_case_badge_amro.jpg

Edit: perhaps some active recruiting in the General Forum would spark some more interest:) Anyone? Anyone? The more that are ordered, the cheaper they get.... (now watch me get stuck with mailing out 10,000 case badges, lol )

[Mark]

i am ready to do whatever it takes to make this project happen, $ or whatever , just let me know :)

P.M. me if needed.

[A_old]

my 600 dpi version is a little different..i remade it completely.. is it ok? btw i've resized it to 1"x1" and reuploaded the zip file/jpg..so redownload it

[iaus10]

I printed out a few. The best looking printed version was from the 300 dpi .psd file. The fonts and "swoosh" were bigger, so they could more easily be seen in the 1" x 1" printed format. Good work Amro!

[A_old]

just use the 300dpi or shall i re-remake@600 again?

[iaus10]

You've done a lot of work... no need to do more. I think the larger font 300 will be easier to see when printed. I'll contact the company and ask what 's the best from their experience.

[Philip]

I am right here :)

Have we all agreed on the design ? ( I like Amro's design as well )

Also, I suppose I can setup a Paypal payment and collect the money, so I get an idea of what quantity to purchase... Then ship the badges when we get them . LMK

Ive been swamped with work, I'm sorry.

Let's get back to this... I can setup a Paypal payment for badges and we can order soon... Stay tuned.

600x600 pixels would be a better quality... Not required, but we might as well.

[A_old]

alright i'll give it a third go philip

[BaLa]

woaw missed this..

I will def be intersted in about 5 or so 'badges'
lmk if you find out what's up with this :D


I will try to check back periodically..

[A_old]

yea count me in, i'd want 5@2 bucks a piece, or 3 bucks a piece even..

[A_old]

here are the files guys.. if you guys do this, let me know.

this is what i have. u pick..just get the zip file, there are 2 types and one folding type. one is 600 dpi, other is older style (more liked i think) but 300 dpi.

http://amro.doesntexist.com/sgbadges.zip


someone please pm me or something to let me know what's chosen or if anything else is needed.

Amro

[TEH WIN]

if somebody can fund the main large order, i'll have them ordered.

I have the person that will make them... just tell me how many and give me the money

[mountainman]

Anyone speaking about this via PMs and have them ordered ? I would snag up a couple for the new case. :D
