Aside from just having colour on one side, the Pac people were also enlarged, moved, and given eyes. This was done by the artist and not by the community, but there were no objections to it.
VR was heavily seen at Pax West this year! Large gaming companies are getting on the bandwagon. I saw a few in the indie section too! I'm sure there will be a presence at Pax Aus.
Should I put "VR" on the goggles, or is that clear? I was considering trying to do it like the VB beer logo but it was too messy of a design/litigious.
I love 'Land of Expensive Games' and 'No Worries Mate' as mottoes but the Latin is way off.
Terra Pretiosa Ludos should be Terra Pretiosorum Ludorum. The original has Pretosia agreeing with Terra, meaning the land is expensive, not the games (true but off-topic). Also Ludos is in the accusative case when it needs to be genetive.
So TERRA PRETIOSA LUDOS should actually be TERRA PRETIOSORUM LUDORUM, for what it's worth (google seems to confirm this).
So I'll need to make a voting form I think. I'll also add in the following since the votes have been so low so far:
NUMQUAM MENTULA ES (don't be a dick, used on all US coins)
NOLI ESSE DRONGO (don't be a drongo, my original suggestion for a localised version of the above phrase)
NULLUS ANXIETAS (no worries, Disc World reference and used on last years AUS coin)
TERRA PRETIOSORUM LUDORUM (land of expensive games)
Feel free to discuss, but the actual voting will be via the form I'm about to make.
Voted. Thanks for organising this!
With the Flinders Street side (great idea BTW), I was wondering if you were planning to do it 'full colour' or do it the same way they did for the South coin (enamel to show off the 'depth'.
I'd vote for that, and suggest that at the most the colour on the flinders st side should be a green roof enamelled on?
WOW! Full color coin....that would be.....AWESOME! and a first full color coin. Either side would look great in color, however, I'm partial to dropbear
Latin Phrase: Winner: NULLUS ANXIETAS ("no worries")
So keeping the current one.
Breakdown:
NUMQUAM MENTULA ES ("don't be a dick") -2 votes
NOLI ESSE DRONGO ("don't be a drongo") -7 votes
NULLUS ANXIETAS ("no worries") -16 votes
TERRA PRETIOSORUM LUDORUM ("land of expensive games") -7 votes
Colour Coin: Winner: Yes
Standard and colour coins this year.
Breakdown:
Yes -18 votes
No -13 votes
I'll keep the polls open until I get the order form together in case anyone wants to add their email to the notification list or just if they like to vote on stuff, but otherwise that's everything we had to work out decided!
Yo you like colour that isn't a photo transfer check this shit out peeps:
Groovy.
Order update: Ok so now all coins in the first batch (100 standard/100 colour) will be distributed at PAX AUS by myself (getting them shipped straight there from the factory). So once I get the prices the form will be a tad more straightforward than last years (less postage options).

Cleaned up.
Now we just need to work out if we need to "gamify" the dropbear, and how. I could stick a power glove on him I guess?

This one might only work if we do colour.

If we can only have colour on one side if should be this one.

If we go a full colour coin on both sides I'd imagine it would just be a photo sealed in with clear enamel, assuming that's how they do it.

(Yes, yes I did sign up to the forums I've been casually browsing for the past few months just for this... I'm slack and a bit antisocial)

FRONT:
BACK:
Please everyone double check that for typo's/correct dates and let me know if you find any.
We're going with reeded edges and antique gold like this year's south coin so they should look something like this.

Are the Front and Back images of the coin reversed? I thought Flinders was the front image and dropbear was the back image
But seriously I just had a small heart attack thinking I might have gotten the text paired with the wrong image, but no that's correct.
I had just never really considered what the "front" of the coin was and listed the first image I uploaded as it.

Still sorting out prices/shipping at the moment, but I'll let everyone know when we can start ordering.
