Spyderco Forums Badges.... Do we have approval? Do we want them?

#1

Post by Marion David Poff »

Howdy,

Other forums do it, and it is a fun form of social networking...

Badges.

They allow you to recognize other forum-ites at shows, and they are a fun type of swag.

If we can get approval from the powers that be....

1. We could come up with a background. I might be able to help with that, as my fiancee is a graphic designer...

2. Then we could get them printed and distributed, and I could spear-head the first, and I think I know someone who would be willing to do the distribution.

3. We could wear them proudly.

Anyway, let me know what you think...

Yes, but nothing over the top.

I'm thinking 3-4in. diameter circle, black patch with red or white spydie logo, red/white/silver text

Red and black, and some sort of subdued variation.

Most definitely! I really like the idea :)

Would we do them on a basis of achieved status? How would we award them? Or would it be just for anyone who wanted one?

I really want to see how this goes :)

BADGES? WE DON'T NEED NO . . .

On second thought, yeah. Count me in.

Definitely. I want something small to medium sized but very cool/unique. Not just a spider with a backdrop. Something 3d like. Would they be personalized?

I'm down for whatever.. but my thoughts are either plain and simple spyderco logo on a circle with some small indicator of it being a forums badge vs the regular spydie patches

OR Sal's pendant outlined in a red circle patch with just "Shiny Footprints" at the bottom.


actually the spyder with "Shiny Footprints" would be perfect for the simple one :)

Colors should be similar to usage in popular knives. Rescue orange with silver. Perhaps Foliage green with black and silver? -P

I'd like something understated but elegant (like Spydies :D ) - maybe just an embroidered Spyder logo on a circular background. Red Spyder on black background, Red on White, Black on White, White on Black, Blue on White.... take your pick :p

I like the idea. I think the badge should have some kind of hole cut in it...seems appropriate. :)
