I'm gauging interest in PAX South Buttoneering. This is going to be my "home" PAX from now on, so it's the one I'm going to be running if people want to join in.
For those who don't know, Buttoneering is a PAX community activity where each participant creates a design for the "button" style pins that they feel represents themselves, orders about a hundred (which is surprisingly cheap!) and then trades them with other participants as they run across each other at PAX. It's a lot of fun, and you come out of PAX with a physical "passport" of some of the people you met. It makes for a nice memento of the event.
For reference, here's some
previous years' designs. Also,
here's the link to this past Prime's thread about it if you want to read the full info on how it works.
I'm going to use replies to this thread to determine interest in bringing this to PAX South, so please respond if you want it to happen! Thanks!

How about I raise the ANTI
The prize is only valued at about $ 10.00 so don't expect some solid gold statue that is unbreakable, its just a token prize for winning the challenge
Photo Requirements
1) You must be in the picture and wearing the buttons.
2) The resolution of the picture must be of good enough quality to identify the buttons against the known buttons from the website.
3) Something unique to PAX SOUTH 2015 must be in the picture, I am thinking that Holding the OFFICIAL PAX SOUTH PROGRAM or wearing the OFFICIAL PAX SOUTH SCARF OR TSHIRT should be sufficient proof.
4) The photo must be taken at PAX (at a vendor party or out to dinner while in SA will be considered at PAX), but submissions can come as late as Monday 5:00 PM CST to allow people time to send them, but it is FIRST ONE SUBMITTED THAT WINS.
The decision of the judges who review the photos is final. Its just a challenge, lets keep it fun, and not invoke Photoshop skills.
Anyone up for this ?
Attached is picture of one out of box. The one offered as a prize will be New and In Box.
This would be great! What do you need from me to get this working?

Yeah, as Zerzhul said, we have Buttoneering.org. That link is to this past Prime's buttons, as an example of what we have. We can definitely figure something out from that.

For South I have a group of 5 people coming in and I've convinced some of them to order buttons with me.
What have people done in the past for "special" buttons? I was thinking about possibly a meat button for meat lovers, a "My 1st PAX" button, or a button for my guild (the friends I'm bringing with me) to give out to people we want to game with in some form?
Yup! That's what it looks like! If you look through http://buttoneering.org/ there are all kinds of buttons people have designed!

However, I may try to make a Windows phone version of the app since I at least have the prerequisites for that (unlike iOS).

Check out my YouTube Pinny Arcade Videos!
Trying to get more info on it & see previous buttons.
Is there a cutoff date to sign up?
The site is down until I get some free time to fix it. That'll happen Soon™.

Pure Buttons has their black friday sale on until midnight tonight 20% off , you only have 52 days until Pax !!!!! so with Christmas around the corner now may be a good time to get your buttons ordered so you have them in time.
Dolarrah , so glad you are happy with your buttons, I would say 80% if not more of forum members that make buttons use Pure Buttons and I don't remember any one having any issues ( other than perhaps shipping rates ) catch you at south to trade !
