PAX Prime 2011 Forum Badges

Yes it's that time when the now infamous forum badges make their presence felt. Since 2008 these badges have been knocking about and they are generally welcomed, I believe anyway.

Below are the design I have come up with for this year's PAX Prime:

Front - Version 1

This is modelled on the PAX East 2011 badge with the only change being the blue colour scheme and change of PAX logo. Also no cloud effect in the back ground.

Front - Version 2

Similar to version 1 only with cloud effect. I quite like this one, but I shall bow to the will of this thread.

Back - Version 1

Finally we have the back of the badge. Once again I have gone for a radical redesign here, let me know what you think!

Details on how to get these badges will be explained closer to PAX Prime :)

    They look similar enough to me that I have absolutely no preference one way or the other. Can I just vote "Yes"? :)

    I like version 2. Cloud all the way!

    I am assuming the same general rules apply as on previous badges, I'd like to request that when my name is added, it be added as Contre instead.

    Awesome as Always.

    I'm happy with either but version 1 is fine. I'm excited to finally get one since I've been on the back of the badge last year and east and didn't get one of the badges. This year I will have to and celebrate it and the cookie brigade! Thank you for all your hard work!

    Version 1

    The cloud effect feels slightly distracting.

    I'm liking version #1 a bit better. I like it being a little darker in hue, I think it makes the PAX emblems stand out from the background just a bit better. Also, as others have stated, the back is awesome.

    Version 1. Version 2 looks good (it's not exactly THAT different after all) but I think the cloud effect creates a bit of an interference pattern in a way so it looks like it got wet or something. :)

    Nice job BTW!

    Haha, I love the back. And the community design makes me happy no matter what- it is so spanking awesome. Although much like children, I secretly like one more than the other.

    Version 2 knows it will always be my secret favorite...
