    Mandatory... *groans*

    Seriously though, this looks amazing!

    Who is going to PAX South?

    This is without a doubt my favorite Forum Badge you have made! Can't wait to see the front. (Insert witty line from office space here)

  • vttymvttym Ardent Gamer Northern NJRegistered User regular
    Front: "Whaaaaat's Happenin'?" arced above the PAX Forum logo.

    On the bottom, below where we put our name, "Ask about my O face"

    I'm really doing some weird experiments with the front. One of which relates to the dreaded fax machine...

    Haha. Have the community logo all warped and smudged with a corner missing like the printer had a paper jam.
    The back is great, as usual, and I'm sure the front will be too :)

    I really feel like this needs some pointless rubber stamp on it like "received" in red.

    You, sir, are absolutely awesome. As an office slave and design nerd, I can officially say I love this. :)

    I can't make training on the 6th, are alt dates available?
    We're going to need you to come in on the 7th as well, ok? Good.

    Some people are like Slinkies. They have no practical use whatsoever,
    but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    Oh I LIKE this! Does this mean we're going to have a meetup to go trash a fax machine in the middle of the expo floor?

    With this group it should probably be a Red Ring'd 360 or something similar no?

    Only for those who worked the previous weekend.

  • WodrithWodrith Registered User regular
    I missed out last year! WAAAAAA. Sign me up this year. Need to be more community involved this PAX rather then only about the expo hall.

  • MagnusCarterMagnusCarter Registered User regular
    But I can't make the previous weekend! :cry:
    I should probably sign up for this as I've picked up a badge for the last 3 years, but never had my name on it :lol:

  • TriiipledotTriiipledot Registered User regular
    Just bought my three day pass and booked hotel, how do I get in on the forum badge?

  • shadowscoutshadowscout Registered User regular
    hmm I still owe you a beer for the pax prime one - might have to make it 2 by the looks of it ;)

  • DirewolfDirewolf Boston, MARegistered User regular
    Count me in! Last year's came in handy a few times :)

    This will be my third PAX East but somehow I'm new to the entire badge concept. Could someone put it in a nutshell and lob it my way?

    a forum badge is basically a (totally free!) badge that designates you as someone who is active on the pax forums. it is a fun way to identify other forumers and show some forum community pride. by posting in this thread, you will get your name added to the big list of forum handles on the back of the forum badge. to get a badge, you can attend some pre-pax events (to be named later) or stop by a designated desk at pax. there you will be asked if your handle is on the badge, and if it is not, you will be asked a question to verify that you've at least SEEN the forums. those questions and answers will be posted here at a later date.

    i think that's it. anything i forgot?

    Greetings all! There is now enough time from PAX Prime 2012 to consider PAX East 2013 and what better way to do that than to take a look at the design of the PAX East 2013 forum badge. I have decided to go for the TPS report memo format that was inspired by Office Space. The people listed on the back of the badge will all have failed to place a cover sheet onto their TPS reports and thus will be asked by PAX attendees if they have 'read the memo?' as that question is asked many times in the movie of the main protagonist. Here's the initial design:
    121002-PAX-East-2013-PA-Forum_Badge_v1.jpg

    THE NAMES ON THE BACK ARE PLACEHOLDERS, THEY ARE NOT THE FINAL LIST OF NAMES!!!

    Let me know what you think. The crumpled paper texture was done on the basis that this memo, like all memos was placed in the trash can.


    Looking great, and since badges and hotel have been booked I look forward to mandatory training in March !

  • aikoeaikoe Registered User regular
    I didn't get one last year because I wasn't really active on the forums and I felt like it'd be a dick move to say I was. I plan to be... somewhat more active now, so sign me up!

    Looks great, as always. I second a red rubberstamp somewhere, and would love to see a tiny staple graphic in the corner ;)

  • kropotkinkropotkin Forum Badge Creator London UKRegistered User regular
    Thanks for the feedback everyone and tvethiopia for the guide on acquiring a forum badge. I'm certainly looking forward to seeing people accusing each other of not getting/reading the memo about TPS reports along with excuses as to why they failed to add a cover sheet to them. This will especially be amusing near escalators, to wit:

    PAX attendee 1: *Sees forum badge on another attendee* Hey! Didn't you get the memo?

    PAX attendee 2: *fakes frustration at being asked this same question for the 12th time in the last hour* YES I GOT THE FREAKING MEMO.

    PAXA1: Oooh, someone's got a bad case of the Mondays!

    Or something like that.

    Ha, I hope this doesn't happen. As I said, I have kind of a love/hate relationship with that movie. I apologize in advance if anyone hears me screaming "I HAVE PEOPLE SKILLS GODD*MMIT!" at any point during the show.

    I just saw the film for the first time last night. Ha ha what a hit.

    If I see anyone with a badge, I might just ask "What would you do with a million dollars?

    I believe I will approach fellow forumers with "We need to talk about your flair"
