Badge Contest

Hey danielwang,

There will be only one winning badge style so that it will be easily recognizable to anyone from anywhere.

The badge can potentially have two sides. The front side should have the logo, name spot, and possibly an avatar spot. The back could be for vital stats and such.

Phade.

Multiple styles and colors...
I have a credit card sized style, hanging and horizontal
I also have a business card size, 2 styles again
Also, C5 size badge such as Otakon, AWA, etc...
A4 badges such as NDK, AnimeExpo, the NY con.

Mine comes with Application Notes and Replication Specs...

--- my idea of a good imaging system ---
Get a good color print somewhere, if possible. IF you can get it polyresin/teslin with thermal laminate, that's cool. Or, you can use a glossy business card with space for typing, etc. Blank cardstock can be thermalam or polychem synthetic dyesub glossing.

Cheapo people can use mailing tape to attach 2 business cards. But if you really want this to last: Get the Teslin, get the PolyChem, get the resin laminate (NO EDGES, teslin will bond). It looks very sharp and it uses the same method people use for Fake Ids... use the thermal convection rollers at Kinkos. If you cannot get teslin, then use cam plotter paper.

This seems interesting.... But I can't find the time to make one.. Actually, I am moving my video/graphics stuff to another computer. Sure looks fun though.

is it a (c) violation if i put a lookalike premiere windows in the background of the card/banner ad/tag?

i cant post a picture of course but the name premier is not in it

hopefully adobe wont sue me like dmitri or something! theyre always so intellectual-property-lawsuit happy of course but ill make sure its not so obvious this time

Last time I designed a badge, I had angry attendees yelling at me over the phone and of course dozens of broken printers and inked up keynotes...

Which would work better:
--------------------------------------------
|....................punch........................|
|.....................................................|
/\/\/\/\/\

or a vertical card?

-----------------------------
|.............punch.............|
|...................................|
|...................................|

To made this badge look cool, can we allow for opalescent paint, holofoil or uv/glow imprint? I have it....

Do we each make our own or buy them?
Are thee/should there be
specifications to make sure they all look the same?

I really don't want thousands of different loking badges at the next con I go to... inkjet, color laser, copied, etc...

Dude, these are being made for peole to print on there home PC. Your not making ID tags for the FBI. Perspective my frind, perspective.

Actually is is not Tuesday anywhere in the world. It is however Thurdays in some parts like Japan(remember, we are behind the rest of the world).
