I think we have winner. Meeple V07 has maintained a commanding lead through the whole voting and wil be our style for the front.
We now need to decide on what numbers, & logo we want on the dice.
It has been mentioned to use the same logo on the D6 that the Pax custom dice use. I am on board with this and we can wait to see what is chosen before finalizing the D6.
I think the D20 should had 13 showing on the top to represent 2013, and the other numbers will line up with a normal D20 in that position.
What about the D6? What numbers should be on the sides?
If the logo replaces the 6 on the D6, as is usually the case, than the remaining two visible sides would only have 3 possible combos (well, 6 if you reverse the number order), if using standard number positioning:
5-3
5-4
4-2
Of those, naturally I'd pick 4-2, because, y'know... Life, the Universe, and Everything.
I like the idea of using the custom die logo. It would look really cool as a whole set, coins plus dice. As for numbers I think that 13 has to be on the D20. And I like @Lockeout 's idea of 4-2 on the D6.

Voting for dice format ends tomorrow then it's on to design and colour voting.
I was actually thinking of just using the PAX Community logo that's already on the dice in your picture there SkeleVader.
If anyone else has any other suggestions as to designs though, let me know!

I am game for this as well. I love all the symbology that is represented here.

I may have missed the post, however for curiosity sake what is the idea for the back if the coin? I know previous years have taken landmarks from Seattle.
It looks awesome thanks for your hard work @skelevader.

I think we have the front finalized (the D6 logo may change depending on what the PAX custom dice comes up with).
Let us move onto the reverse side.
We always choose something that represents the host city (2010: Seattle sky line, 2011: Convention Center, 2012: Pike Place Market sign)
Let's hear your thoughts on what this year's person, place, or thing that represents Seattle will be.
I know coins have famous/powerful men and women on the back typically. I know none of the other Challenge coins have a person, however I think it would be cool to have Robert Khoo on the back of the coin. We would need to get his permission I assume, but I think it is a kinda cool nod to the face behind the coin.
I've been thinking something showing a ferry and Mount Rainier would be cool - something like this:
But maybe without the city skyline, since we've already done that
Yes, I love this idea too. When I fly in to Seattle I know I'm almost there when we fly past Mount Rainier. It's such a gorgeous mountain. I'd love to see it on the coin.

I'll look for some images when I get home, but maybe the monorail

If we can somehow pull this off...
If not, I vote for Mount Rainier as well. Looked so awesome the first time I fly into Prime (practically went right over it.)
I am pretty sure that Robert Khoo does not go on the forums and if he does odds of him rolling on to this one slim. I guess an e-mail would be the fastest/best way to contact him, however I do not know what it is or how one would acquire it. If we were to e-mail him I think we should have decided on an image, and if that is the one we are going with. I am guessing for pretty much all of it though.
yeah I think everyone's agreeing with mount rainier because it's one of the only suggestions put through, lol
But I agree, it's a good one.
Found a great image that has the QWest building in front of the mountain.
Maybe something like this:
Also another suggestion if we're looking to put a person on the coin, how about the Lenin Statue in Fremont?
May be confusing to people who haven't been there but I think it's pretty well known to Seattle locals at least.
Also it looks awsome in person.
If you get it at the right angle, it's very distinct.

Let me know if we like it. The "4" seems like it might not fit too well on the side, but let me know.
Otherwise, looks great!

I also like @sanovah 's idea of the monorail.
Something like this?
Or maybe the Seattle Pier 57 Ferris Wheel?
I was going to suggest the Pike Place Market but I see that was done last year.
I'm liking that monorail one, hard to decide between that and the Rainier one
