Hello all! It is about that time of year again to discuss the PAX South 2018 Challenge Coin!!!!!
Last year, we had a reeded edge, an Antique Silver finish, and was a 1.75 inch size. Our location was The Convention Center and the gaming side was the Konami code, which you can see here.
I am open to any suggestions on the aspects of the coin. We can also decide to do two coins again or just regular or just colour.
For those who do not know about the PAX Challenge Coin tradition, you can check it out here: http://wiki.paxcommunity.net/paxwiki/PAX_Challenge_Coin
Last year, I invited people to submit photos for a chance to win a coin. Only one person sent me an e-mail and it was of a statue that's near the convention center.
So, from now until 8pm CST Sunday evening, you can message me an image from San Antonio that you feel would make a good image for the location side of the coin. I will then set up a poll.

That seems Texan.
That's fine, I don't mind waiting
In the past, we did guitars, gaming dice, and the Konami code

I do love me some Buc-ee's...
Sure - do we have a major Bioshock release coming soon? Or maybe one just passed? I don't follow that game too closely. TBH, today I mostly play retro games, any Final Fantasy that comes out (not online), and some fun Switch games.
No clue...I like using iconic gaming things for the coins, it doesn't have to be relevant
lol, I like this. Don't know what is allowed to be put on there, but could have the "Take This" quote and then have link holding up a challenge coin maybe. I see all kinds of shirts and posters that have that iconic "holding up" pose with whatever item places are focused on.
I like that idea...given the release of BOTW, Zelda is back in the spotlight. Treating the challenge coin like the sword given to Link, or even a Sheikah Slate is cool...
So far, suggestions for the Gaming side are:
SNES Classic Mini
MAME cabinet
Raspberry Pi Retro-pi machine
Would you kindly"
Mario Star
PAX coat of arms
It's dangerous to go alone! Take this

Lazy Suggestions I mocked up. I'm sure someone could do more/fit more on there to make them worthwhile. My lazy mockups feel empty. I haven't played BotW, but I suspect it would make a good coin with the right effort put in.

However, I don't believe the community has permission to use copyrighted imagery from the copyright holders. Generally the coin organizers and the community have tried their best to potentially reference something rad that might be copyrighted without using copyrighted imagery.
Looks like it's been done, before, too. Maybe something JRPG/DND? Overwatch/Heroes of the Storm, maybe.

Also, I didn't create the crest, but it is awesome
The part that is in the red circle will be on the coin (providing it works with Kiddercorp)
Thank you everyone who voted!

When we get to the videogame side, if we can't get too specific like putting Cuphead on there, maybe just have a picture of different controllers- an old Atari joystick, a typical modern controller, and a VR headset? Mouse and keyboard?
There is an argument to be made...but typically, the PAX coins take inspiration from the city they take place in (Seattle, Boston, San Antonio, Philadelphia, Melbourne). But, maybe next year if you argue the idea strong enough
As for the gaming side, check out what has been done in the past on the wiki: http://wiki.paxcommunity.net/paxwiki/PAX_Challenge_Coin
