The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
Please vote in the Forum Structure Poll. Polling will close at 2PM EST on January 21, 2025.
I thought "PAX AUS" was kind of redundant there since it was already on that coin face, with the only other idea being "MELBOURNE", but once again, redundant.
I'd still go with MELBOURNE as a future PAX Aus could be in another city.
I think most of the younger PAX-going crowd (not that this is for them) won't know Jeff's Shed, I didn't until my dad explained it to me a few years ago. It's not a common nickname any more as far as I know.
I'd still go with Jeff's Shed as a destination sign even if it is a bit obscure. Google throws up the Wikipedia entry for the Melbourne Convention Centre with an explanation.
Yeah, it being a bit obscure is also half the fun!

Wait which one do you prefer? I wasn't talking about the text around the outside, if that's what you meant.
Ok I talked to akidd and we pretty much just have to lock down the phrase we want and we can get started.
I'll tally up what votes we have tonight so if anyone has any last minute suggestions now's the time to post them.
As I said, it wasn't used for any reason other than I had the graphic (my version of it in high res) and I thought the design needed another element.
It wasn't supposed to be "Hey this year I put Ayefkay on it! Next year someone elses!"
But if other's think it should go than please say so. At the moment I think we have 3 against it, and I'm counting everyone that hasn't brought it up as a "meh" towards it, fyi.
But seriously, yeah it doesn't make a whole lot of sense, unless we do a yearly thing of a different member per year, which could actually be kinda cool. And it could be a PAXAUS specific thing too, as far as I know the others don't do that.
I'm a no for the avatar. I don't think it needed another element, a tram going to MCEC works. Look at the previous year ones for Prime and East, just simple city scenes do the trick. Maybe as part of this years PAX hold a photo comp to portray on next years coin? Because some of those scenes down on the Promenade by Polly Woodside would look amazing on a coin. Or a composite of the promenade with the giant flame towers by Crown by day to get the scenery and flames going at night.
As for the motto I'm fine with either. I'm not chained to my suggestions, I just ask if we go with Nullus Anxietas that we make sure it's spelt correctly before it gets printed.

That's actually a great idea. Should probably be run by someone better organised than me, but I'll see what I can do. Maybe a thread just before pax.
Indeed. I quite like the design myself, sans random avatar of course. Simple and clean designs work best for this sort of thing. I'd happily grab a couple of these.
NULLUS ANXIETAS: 6
NOLI ESSE DRONGO: 3
AMICUS NON SUBPONAM - No worries mate. (actually No worries friend): 1
TERRA PRETIOSA LUDOS - Land of expensive games: 1
NULLUS ANXIETAS it is. And I just now realised this was a Disc World reference. I'll try to set up a proper voting form next year if we want to change it to another one (no complaining about tradition next year either, we're already breaking it :P).
Good work mate, looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labour come PAX time! Let us know when you're sorted a way to order and pay, had a few Enforcers ask about getting them too.
You're not coming to PAX? The way Skelevader has done it in the past is distribute between several points so you don't need to find a single person inside a gigantic crowd. Volunteers would be available at several locations and times to suit people. I'm happy to be a distributor, I'm an Enforcer but I can stop for times to help distribute. We got your back man.

They're yet to move any PAX to another city. Despite having grossly outgrown the cities venue in some cases. PAX Aus is in Melbourne. Just ask Khoo.

Yeah, I'm not worried about any design elements on this years coin being informed by any potential (as small as that would be) move to another state.

Lets stay with the tradition people, this is a challenge coin, its all about tradition.

Sending these off to @akidderz now, but if you spot some error/issue that needs adjusting we have a little time, so let me know.

More info soon.

Couldn't you find somewhere to distribute them at pax itself
If I can find a trustworthy local that's also a possibility!
But where!? :P
Pinny Pals Lanyard
Where to find trustworthy locals?
Or
Where to distribute them?
No i was joking I'll find someone.
Pinny Pals Lanyard
With the current numbers in this thread I think I could distribute most of them fine, but we shall see.

So here's a rough look at the production artwork (click for big):
I like the flattened look of the logo on the front.
We're just sorting out some details/shipping now.
Pinny Pals Lanyard
Coins in production, just working on the order form now.
If everything works out, we'll have options for local shipping before pax and pickup on site.
