Well if ever there was a case of 'be careful of what you ask for', then this is it!
Just to be clear, version 5 is perfectly safe and preserved! I have not destroyed it! If you prefer version 6 above then we'll go with it. Let me know people!
How about v5.5? Keep the glare but drop the photoshop hero

I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."

v5 is my favorite, I think the Photoshop Hero logo is overkill. YMMV
Thanks so much to everyone helping me get excited for PAX! It's been a stupid, ugly, frustrating year for me and PAX is feling more and more like a finish line with each passing day.

I have just got back from the expo that shalt not be mentioned and am trying to stay awake to fight off the jetlag. As part of this struggle I've made 2 new variants of the PAX forum badge. Version 5.5 is below and removes any mention of Photoshop Hero:
The second, version 6.1 retains a little bit of the Photoshop Hero reference, only a little more subtly. See for yourself:
Let me know which one to go for and we'll settle on it.
Hrm, i'd err on the side of 5.5, but i guess that the Photoshop Hero part is sorta nice as an in-joke, even if many might not understand its significance? Either way, sterling work, Kropotkin- lens flare is a sadly underused commodity on badges!

It would appear that opinion is split between the lens flare option. For me it looks decidedly cheesey to the point of the badge being made in 1973, but it does make a nod towards Photoshop Hero, a much loved PA strip.
Any more opinions on the new designs? Remember, it gets locked down as of the end of this month
I am going to give the Photoshop Hero some love and go with 6.1. This is also my first PAX, and first convention. Let me say very well done on this service for forumites everywhere

And you thought this 269 post thread was dead? HA! You couldn't be more wrong! Actually this post is a reminder that as of 30th June the names on the back of the badge get locked down. That's right, if you don't meet the following criteria, your name doesn't get on the back of the badge:
1) You are a forum admin
2) You are coming to PAX via CCST, WCTT and CST
3) You will be on the PAX UK Plane (BA0049 - leaving Heathrow on 3rd September)
4) You have posted on this thread.
Note, by not having your name on the back does not mean you won't get a badge! I'll be posting up a list of the names I have later this week. BTW, I still have yet to get a roster for WCTT participants....

I like 5 or 5.5. I'm leaning towards 5 though.
So everyone who's in this thread's name is one the back?
I'm not a Twitter person either Xp. I wonder what I'm going to put there instead...
A million and one thanks for pulling together such an awesome gift for the forum community!

It's just my way of celebrating the forums really. It's also a point of practicality as you'll be able to spot a forum member at PAX and finally shake hands with them, rather than sharing emoticons.
I've not yet decided whether to include the lens flare effect as yet but I'm not going for the Photoshop Hero meter. As funny as that strip is, many are not familiar with it. Even in these forums!
I'm a fan of 5.5. Also, I'll be one of those looking to get a badge in the mail. Thanks for putting this together kropotkin; this idea, like yourself, is full of awesome and win.
wait, we can get these badges in the mail?? somebody should update the OP with that.
Nonononono. I think Beigh either was misinformed or read it incorrectly. They will be passed out--to my knowledge--by the appropriate distributors at PAX. At least that is how it was last year.

Distribution is via 2 methods. If you are taking part in the WCTT, CCST or the CST the organiser of those events will have badges in their possession to hand out during the trip to PAX. This also applies to the small number of people who are on the PAX UK plane.
The second method is distribution at PAX itself. I have not resolved this entirely but at the moment the BYOC registration desk is a definate place to pick them up from. Another possibility is the Pre-PAX dinner.
Please note that these badges are not officially sponsored by the organisers of PAX, they have been created by me for the forum community to make sure we can spot each other easily. Having said that I have not heard any discenting voices from the PAX organisers or anyone from the Enforcers. Considering the prominence of this thread I can only assume that their silence is conscent, until I hear otherwise.

Well I'm not going to be doing WCTT, CCST or the CST so I'm probably gonna have to get mine either at PAX or at the Pre-PAX dinner if I go. Are they already organizing that? I haven't seen a thread for it yet.

Oh my heavens! And I call myself a fan of Photoshop hero???? I shall have to make some amendments....

Also, count me in for a forum badge if it is not to late!
