Hey fellow programs,

I was interested in doing a run of Challenge Coins for Tron Sector members. For those who do not know what challenge coins are, see here:

www.allaboutchallengecoins.com


I think they'd be a great collectible for sector members. I'm a member of the Star Wars 501st and we get these made all the time for our club. The site above is very good and reliable, I've used them many times. We would need to get sample artwork locked down before we submit. So if anyone has ideas let's see them and we'll go from there. I'll post some up as well. The coins can have artwork on both sides. We will need a minimum order to proceed, usually the minimum for a run is 100, and the coins will be around $5 give or take. If interested, please post so we can start gauging interest.

Thanks!

I'd be interested in one also. I might have a sketch or two that might be worthy, but I'll have to look.

Seems like an interesting idea.

I could try my hand at designing it. I could even print prototypes first (or maybe even just print them out and cut out the middleman)

Considering the subject matter, it would have more significance if they were created digitally (I would 3d print them)

They would be plastic, although there are metallic materials such as bronze-fil and copper-fil I could possibly obtain. Let me know.

Challenge accepted!

I will work on a couple prototypes I'll try to have something to show later today.

For those who want to contribute:
Black and white, 2 color images will work best. Grayscale and full color images will work too, but will take extra steps to convert to extrusions for 3d printing. brightness of the portions of the image will determine depth in the relief. the more complicated the artwork, the less detail there will be in the finished print. SIze of the artwork isn't an issue, but I would ask that the higher the resolution, the better. Vector file formats are preferred, as they are easily scalable, but I can pretty much work with anything. Post up the images (or links) in this thread if you want them considered.

Of course, the larger the finished coin, the more detail there can be. currently, I am working on making the prototype 1.5", I can go to 2", but any larger will consume more plastic, take longer to print, and make the end-result more unwieldy.

I have a design for one of the sides I'm working on, I really want users here to contribute for the flipside.

I've also considered adding a QR code to the coin that links to the site. let me know if you like this idea.

Also, I want the users to consider the coin's text. Some ideas I've had:

Head side of coin would read: TRON Sector 1999-2015

Obverse side would have the text: We Fight For the users

I would like everyone to help out with the text. Once we come to a consensus, it will go on the finished coin.

I will be doing either a two or three-color print for the coin. base will be black with details in other colors.

Looking forward to seeing what you folks can come up with

I'm good for two or possibly 3. 

I really like the idea of something representing the original Tron movie on one side and Tron Legacy on the other.

I'm not real excited about a tron coin that has a picture of the disc (old or new) on it, only because I am sort of suffering from "disk burnout".  I've collected all the discs I am aware of, had some modified, and have at least 6 different pins/badges with discs on it, as well as at least a half a dozen other disk keychains, posters, books, etc.  I just think another "disc coin" isn't that exciting.  I'd rather see some cool artwork on both sides (even if the artwork included a disc LOL!).

So...  Is there any chance we can do some kind of "voting" on the design before we commit/pay?

I'm in for 1

Very cool!  I avoid challenge coins because I don't need more *stuff* sitting around, but I can't wait to see the finish project!

Looking very rad BigE! 

Keep the ideas and pics coming guys!

I could definitely run with that! Thanks for posting it up!

If anyone else has any ideas, Be sure to post them. I can start mocking up the flipside!

I really dig that front and the back design! I say go with that.
