WOW!!! I love the badges! I always hate it when I work a bunch of nights in a row, because I don't have a lot of time to check NAM.
I can't wait to see if these will be offered! I will buy them up and proudly display my feMINIty!

Okay, still couldn't get the scanner to work. I took a photo of the sketch. Please keep in mind this is a very rough idea. The white spot in the center is a mistake covered with white out, ignore it. I have no computer skills to make it actually look good! Let me know if you like it/suggestions? Thanks for looking. Oh yeah, I still haven't taken time to figure out how to post them full size. Please click on the thumbnail - man I feel lost in the dark ages.

I feel the same way about pink, but I'm DEFINATELY +1 for "Twisty Sisters"! (I'll pass on the rest, but kudos to you folks for coming up with some fabulous and creative ideas!)

It is DS/W Checkers and Chrome, basically a monochromatic color scheme. Can you produce one without red? Perhaps chrome replacing the red accent. They wouldn't clash with any car color that way, but, would still have great visual impact. Plus they'd be shiney. Ooooh, girls like shiney. Will these be available as magnetic badges or stickers or both?

Tancho girl - super nice work! My wife wants one, but in a round badge!

No worries about technology, I usually have my scribes put my ideas down on papyrus, then have them scanned... just upgraded from the stone tablets after a particularly long memo squashed the scanner flat.

Bamatt, where'd you get the Mini "silhouette" / line drawing you used for the testosterone badge? I rally like that image.

I feel like the vendor will read everyone's comments & then decide which badges they wanna offer. I dunno for sure but I would imagine that a minimum of each design would have to be ordered so I am not sure if there will be color variations offered but again we will all have to wait & see To be honest I wouldn't be opposed to removing some of the red but IMHO I am not a big fan of a total monochromatic design as I feel everything would blend together & the lettering &/or graphics would not be very noticable from even a short distance. Just my 2¢

Oh, I've gotten beyond papyrus, I have Sharpies!

Yeah, I was thinking along the lines of a street sign. After I got back and looked at the other super designs I realized it would be better as a round image for the badge holder. Again, another really rough sketch, but, maybe this one is more what you have in mind.

I'd love to see a version in a black white checkers and chrome version from one of you tallented graphics people. Sharpies will only get you just so far you know. I want it monochrome, but, I can't pull off the chrome on my own primative sketch.

There has been a lot of breast cancer in my family so I love to sport the pink ribbons & as you may have noticed from my siggy I prefer the cheekier slogans as the survivors in my family found humor to be a great aid when going through the ordeal

12 to a pack!

Here's one, and as soon I get past the technological hurdles, heat resistance and IP rights,
I'll do what I can to offer it.

Wow Bamatt wonderful work. Thank you for taKing time to clean up my sharpie sketches. I have one more request if you're willing to do just one more mock up. Can you do one of the round "Caution" ones with the MINI wings at the bottom replacing the word "AHEAD". I'm not sure how it will look, but, it may be the best for a badge of this type. I'd really appreciate it. And, again your work on this is great and very much appreciated!

Nah, only if there is a circle attached to it. Plus you guys don't have as many curves
