You know I pretty much thought I had seen and heard it all in my days on the internet. I guess it just goes to show you, there is always more depravity if you know where to look! o_O
Yeah, the comments were very well thought out. It's always nice to see someone that deserves it very well thrashed intellectually! I just don't see how anyone ever thought this was a good idea. It sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen!
It's for identification! How's that conceited? It's just like wearing a "hello, my name is ____" button. it's so we can find others on the board, and exchange pretty buttons!

I can't for the life of me think of why someone would post in a thread just to say they want nothing to do with this unless they were implying that they thought we were conceited as well. Would wearing a button of yourself be any more conceited than having an avatar of yourself? Same concept.
I think wearing a button of myself is rather conceited, so I think I'll pass on this.
You already go by leaf, and your avatar is yourself, therefore I suggest that when we encounter you we take a small bit flesh....unless you bring more hot canadian models.
So, I've had a first attempt (well, actually third!) at creating a red identification button. I tried just typing the text, but it came out thick and horrid, so I've mouse-drawn it. I'll probably try again with pen and ink, and scan/photo it.
I'm at work right now and will be for the next couple days (weird work schedule), but as soon as I get the chance I'll take some cell phone pics and upload those bad boys.
I'll be very easy to recognise - red hair, red T-shirt, red and silver sparkly tiara, and with a sheepish looking LewieP in tow. (also wearing RED!)
I WILL BE WATCHING OUT FOR YOU BECAUSE THAT IS AWESOME!
(and sorry this is about 3 pages late )
and i've decided that i'll be putting my collected pins on my bag that i'll have with me at all times ^^ hopefully it'll be completely covered by the end of con. that way its still visible, but i don't have to worry about space or moving them from shirt to shirt. now just to decide which picture of zero suit samus i should use for my own pin...

I have yet to figure out what my button may be--seriously gonna customise it.
None to worry! It will be done soon!

I've been thinking about the red identification ones i'm going to get next - how many do people think I should get - I thought 50 at first, cos I think that's the minimum you can have made, but I think we'll only need 20 or so - then I thought I could sell the rest at PAX, to cover the cost of them. What do you guys think? Is that a bit mean, should I just plan to give them away?

I'm not sure what you mean by "red identification ones". If i ever see that stained-glass dove button, I know I'm either looking at you, or someone who beat you in a challenge.
I'm just buying 50 buttons and plan on giving away 49 of them.

Could anyone throw together a badge design from this with my name on it. I have no image manipulation skills, and anything I have done in MSpaint looks awful.

This came up earlier in the thread - how would we know if someone was just wearing badges, or was part of the crazy mad swapping badges group of people. Lewie suggested something, that most people didn't get, I squashed him (I'm allowed, cos I'm his mummy) and suggested red ones a) cos I like red, and b) cos they're not green (stupid people doing stuff with green badges, again earlier in the thread).
So, I had a go at a red badge, that has PAX 2008 Button swap on it, and wanted to know what people thought.

Anyhoo, so we get TWO sets of badges? One to give away and one to ID that we're giving them away? That sounds awkward. I guess I'm still just confused.

You obviously don't know some of the same women that I do.
But...anyways...BUTTONS!
I'm working on my design still, and trying to find an appropriate hat to wear. I don't think wintertime caps will be a good idea...

Two words... Metroid hat.
I think I'll likely pin them all to whatever bag I carry around with me. Although I've had plans on making a video game related kutte for some time.
You should go and get a hat custom embroidered with your username.... like somebody I know...
What a loser that guy is!

I know... I'm a loser baby, so why don't ya kill me....
Beck much?
I'd throw down some change to make a tuftoo pin happen, jon.
Hm.
SHIT, I SHOULD WEAR ALL OF MY BUTTONS AT ONCE.
Now then I'd be conceited.
Conceited, yet AWESOME.
It would be like some kind of nerd scale mail.

Invincible! ...Except for the stinging barbs of insults hurled my way.
Oh cruel children, why must you mock my brilliance yet again?!

I think I'll need to make the text a bit darker, and add some sparkles to it!

You do realize the point is to get buttons of other people, right?
They're a bit smaller than I expected, but it's cool; the picture quality is better than I thought it would be.
You went through PureButtons? What size did you get? Pics?
Pics or it didn't happen.
Kidding, kidding!
I'm probably going to wait until next month to actually have the buttons made... but I'm definitely doing it.
E: Oh, and yeah, I went through PureButtons.

Fab indeed, those look great!
I want just my Avatar with "LewieP" on it.
Cheers

Rich.
I've just deleted your badge design.
