My 2 tokens worth...

Pixel's "button logo" design is a foregone winner. With this as part of my consideration:

I like Troz's "cocktail" design, however, Pixel's "upright" design is consistent with his "button logo" design with respect to the outer rim which would make them a good match. Further, Pixel's "upright" design is made for the back side of a token with the text: "One Credit - No Cash Value." I wouldn't want the same text on both sides of the token: BYOAC and this websites URL.

So, I voted for Pixel's designs. If Troz was willing to consider altering his design to fit with Pixel's format and text, I would love Troz's cocktail on the back. Of course, the problem with altering the design at this stage is the same as the problem with running another poll.

Oh well, I am new here and don't have any previous tokens, so an upright cab would be new to me anyway

From what I understand the text is subject to change depending on the winner..............

so you should not vote just on the text........

I didn't realize that. Santoro what's the verdict on a text change for continuity?

Santoro · « **Reply #83 on:** August 01, 2005, 08:00:13 am »

I think that we should be voting on the graphic design. Text could change if required. If both winners have the URL for example, I think tweaks would be in order.

GadgetGeek · « **Reply #84 on:** August 02, 2005, 07:58:03 am »

Since the button logo appears to be the clear leader and a very close race for second between the upright and cocktail, with a lot of votes for each, what about doing 2 sets of tokens? One set button/cocktail and one set button/upright. Just a thought.

Santoro · « **Reply #85 on:** August 02, 2005, 08:02:36 am »

In a perfect world that would be cool. But given the minimum token orders from tha mint and small market for these, that would be impossible in practicality.

DarkKobold · « **Reply #86 on:** August 02, 2005, 09:35:15 am »

Ok, has pixelhuggers logos been on every coin since the beginning? I mean, his stuff is great, but shouldn't we include additional artists?

Santoro · « **Reply #87 on:** August 02, 2005, 09:39:23 am »

It is what the people want.

I really want troz's design to win. Come on peole change ya votes so troz's coctail is one of the winners.

missioncontrol · « **Reply #89 on:** August 02, 2005, 10:06:34 am »

the upright and cocktail are pretty close........

we should do a run off vote if my choice doesn't win....

pointdablame · « **Reply #90 on:** August 02, 2005, 11:44:26 am »

I think I might be the only person who isn't a huge fan of Pixel's button logo. It's just a bit bland to me.

I really wish we could see a 3d cab/cocktail token, but like they say... you can't please everybody all the time.

Me too.

A note on the voting structure itself. I am very surprised at how it is actually working. We are essentially having 2 elections because of removal option and the extended time to use it. After the first rush we knew which were conttenders then the vote changing started. There has been a lot of very small movements between the two contenders for second place. This shows that a lot of people are changing their votes strategically to lean second place one way or the other.

It has essentially created a runoff without a second poll...Brilliant.

Me three. Makes for a great Heads/Tails setup. But I'll be ordering no matter what.

dag2000 · « **Reply #93 on:** August 03, 2005, 10:55:53 pm »

Me Four!
3D cab/Cocktail!

pointdablame · « **Reply #94 on:** August 04, 2005, 12:25:05 am »

I somehow doubt enough people will delete their button logo vote to make it happen tho

I am not opposed to the button logo, i voted for it at first. I just think the cab/cocktail combo would look awesome on a token.

AlanS17 · « **Reply #95 on:** August 04, 2005, 12:53:37 am »

Don't forget, though. The only thing standing in the way of the cocktail/upright token is that fact that the the button token is a clear winner so either the cocktail or the upright gets in, but not both.

So for those of ya'll saying how badly you want to see the cocktail and the upright, you're killing your chancees of ever seeing the cocktail at all by out-voting with the upright.

Maybe they like the upright more than the cocktail.

Kremmen · « **Reply #97 on:** August 04, 2005, 02:50:29 am »

I would prefer the cocktail/upright combo as well. As I really like the cocktail I have removed my vote for the upright in an effort to give the cocktail a better chance.

Funny way of voting but I guess you won't please everyone.

currently i'm just voting on one design because I really want a cocktail token..............

See the top of the poll: "(Voting closes: August 06, 2005, 05:21:42 PM)"

I believe the poll will close itself after that. I just told it to go 2 weeks.

I'd congratulate Pixel except that I feel like we're all winners here tonight

I'd like to thank all the designers and Santoro as well.

Flinkly · « **Reply #108 on:** August 07, 2005, 01:28:10 am »

AWESOME! I was hoping those two would win. so yeah, what about this ordering thing? 200 brass please.

Cyber Axe · « **Reply #109 on:** August 07, 2005, 05:55:42 pm »

so its 6 and 11? kickass i will be getting 100 of each metal (though with those designs it'll look like its both heads because of the style)

Havok · « **Reply #110 on:** August 08, 2005, 11:55:25 am »

Yeah! I was hoping those would win! I think we had some great choices here - I like these even better than last years...

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #111 on:** August 08, 2005, 05:36:13 pm »

BU.... LIIIIIIIIING.

Click on the link below the image to see at full size. These are rough APPROXIMATIONS of what the designs would look like in metal.

I'm guessing that unless a whole lotta people order nickel (there's a 10,000 coin minimum on nickel) the brass would probably be the only option.

EDIT: DOH! Forgot the date again. Guessing it'll go on the back.

jfunk · « **Reply #112 on:** August 08, 2005, 05:57:23 pm »

Well, I really believe that if Santoro hadn't implemented the 'no bling' rule, the voting wouldn't have been NEARLY that close

Those things are beautiful!!

Pixelhugger · « **Reply #113 on:** August 08, 2005, 06:03:09 pm »

Yeah, it's extremely difficult to judge the designs in black and white. I had thought about offering to bling all the submissions prior to the vote but based on how long these took (big chunk of free time last night and a dangerously long time at work this morning), it would've been impossible. The cocktail would have looked great blinged however. Especially the version with the front edge protruding onto the rim of the token.

Havok · « **Reply #114 on:** August 08, 2005, 06:08:17 pm »

F'n beautiful!

I'll be ordering Brass...

GadgetGeek · « **Reply #115 on:** August 08, 2005, 07:37:34 pm »

Think the mint will remember the dentils this year?

Santoro · « **Reply #116 on:** August 08, 2005, 08:22:37 pm »

God that's gorgeous.

Anyway - I am working out a few pricing scenarios tonight and will post a quick (1-2 day) poll to gauge the metal combinations that will likely sell best. Based on that I'll pick a scenario and start pre-orders.

You know, I seriously think the reason the design threads were on the dull side this year is exactly because we did not allow 'bling.' Seeing the blinged pics got me real exited about tokens again.

Note to self.. maybe next year we could get someone to post generic instructions for blinging in Photoshop and Paintshop Pro so that anyone can do it with moderate tools. Well we have another year to think about it....

OK, I am checking out if PayPal can help out with prompting for that info as part of the process. It's a really good idea..

I'll post back later.
