And a mascot is born! Behold, the BYOAC VR-Man!

I like this design, but id loose the rainbow pattern

I love this style, but maybe try it with the 2005 moved to above the coin mechs? My photoshop skills dont exist, im hopeless at photoshop

Maybe the controls in the background are unnecessary.

Here's a version without the controls, arches replaced by lines, and screws in the bezel. I think the raised screws would look very cool in relief, almost real. Just felt it'd be fun to have some sort of actual construction reference in there.

Also fixed the shadow around the button bezel to actually follow the plunger. Drew... I know it still doesn't extend to the edge but the idea is to keep the button feeling more graphic/iconic than literal. Your comments in the other thread did help me tweak the thing tho.

When my work is done, I'm coming back for you!

Pixel: The shadow/background in the center of the "C" on the most recent design looks odd.

Other than that, the rays in the top half have me running around screaming "Kamakazi". Which is kind of fun.

Here's a coin design I just did. The actual coin design probably could use some further refinement, but I like how the "pixel head" character looks, because I think that the front side of the coin needs to have a face on it. With "Pixel Head", hopefully you can tell that he's supposed to be video game related, but since I made him he's not copywritten and therefor there wouldn't be any legal entanglements involved like with Pac-Man or a Space Invader.

I vote for this face.

LOL! Let's show that fool what it feels like to be on the recieving end of someone making money off of your image without your consent. We should get his face copywritten too.

aumameman · « **Reply #128 on:** June 01, 2005, 11:37:45 pm »

I like this style.

Here it is with a few minor changes, done in paint so the quality is crap but u get the idea.

I like the joy in the forground, but the date on the ball would be too small. would rather see date bigger in the gray on the right of the joy. otherwise i like the design.

Cyber Axe · « **Reply #130 on:** June 02, 2005, 08:18:45 am »

i like the first of the last 2 the one without the joy

sorry couldn't make it B&W

I don't think the engraver can put enough levels on the coin to do that pic justice.

DrewKaree · « **Reply #133 on:** June 03, 2005, 11:09:23 pm »

Not only that, you'd have to buy 10 times the amount you wanted to buy since having those "details" on the coin, slipping a few in your pocket....guys would be stealing those from you left and right

The "sunrise" background reminds me of (is it Japan?) the kamikaze pilot's headbands you see in all the hokey movies. I don't know if that means I like it or not yet.

Timoe · « **Reply #134 on:** June 08, 2005, 01:22:30 am »

should the date be 2006 or be left off entirely at this point?

Great minds think alike!

...and, apparently, so do mine and Drew's.

If it's any consolation, your mind is working two days ahead of mine! Hey, what numbers do you want to play for the lottery this weekend, or don't it work like that?

Santoro · « **Reply #137 on:** June 10, 2005, 06:06:00 pm »

Hi all, Just checking in. I have been insanely busy at work and building a shelf unit for my home office. (Thread to follow when I am done.)

It has been a few weeeks and I guess we have seen the bulk of the entries, I will try to post some polls this weekend. Given the limited enthusiasm for the design threads, I hope we will have enough demand to make these this year. We'll see.

Kremmit · « **Reply #138 on:** June 10, 2005, 10:48:28 pm »

The lack of thread traffic may stem from having them posted in the artwork forum, instead of the main forum.

Drew: 37.

I'd like to place an order for BYOAC tokens

I agree. While the design thread probably does belong in "artwork," it isn't a very widely read forum.

Santoro · « **Reply #141 on:** June 14, 2005, 04:10:21 pm »

Yes, but even buried in the artwork forums, last year's design threads were the most active in the history of BYOAC (at the time.)

Timoe · « **Reply #142 on:** June 14, 2005, 04:50:34 pm »

Where do I send my money for BYAOC 2005 tokens?

They were always linked up from the sticky at the top of the main forum last year, though.

I think These would be sick:

Front:

Back:

When I saw both of these they just both kinda went SHAZAAM!!!
What are the chances of sneaking in a small batch of last years tokens when these get made?? Thought I would try.

The dots should become screws, or the screws should become dots. It would look better if they were the same.

I vote the screws, even though im not convinced they'll actually look like screws.

As for the text on the "back side" of the token, I still think something arcady like "no cash value" is in order.

What's Nice about having an upright on one side and a cocktail on the other is that when I have to tell my 2 kids they have to flip to see who is playing first. We can say Uprights or tails.

Just as a goof, I was messing with ms paint and the drawing tablet with some super rough sketches...

Front

Rear

joke : )

My final "front" I still need to adjust a couple of lines behind the logo but I'll wait to do so if it's a final contender.
