....And the whole thing wouldn't be complete without a vote of some sort.... Orange or Grey dropshadow on the denom?

Don't mind the other small differences.

Gotta go for the orange!

 

[RowdyRawhide]

I'll take one of both please
I'll guess I'll vote for orange but they both look good so neither is a deal breaker

 

[DJ Mack]

I'd probably say gray but it's not a deal breaker for me either!

 

[ChipEnvy]

In for a $20.

uhhhh...You were going to get one of each "on me" Don't worry (y) :thumbsup:

So we have a new issue to tackle....

The serial numbers. I am in completely uncharted waters here. I'm uncertain how MSK applies these. I "believe" its like a hotstamp process but am not 100%. If anybody knows chime in..
That said, I would like some input as I'm completely flexible. I particularly would like to hear from @DJ Mack who will be using his for play.

1) Placement - I was thinking bottom-center of the raised edge. But center-right might fill the plaque better and if hotstamped wont leave groove-flash on stacking surfaces.

2) Format - we can do whatever we want here. So something like PCFSC0001..., SC0001PCF..., 06081601...

3) Colors - This will be the easiest to figure out as soon as MSK gets back to me. I was leaning towards white (if possible) for both if we went bottom-center. but I think the recessed surface will be the best place for these. So maybe chrome/silver?

 

[MillyS]

1) I would say either bottom right or centre right - pretty much what you said
2) format - SC00001 looks good
3) colours - I reckon silver/chrome would look the best and also tie in with the name 'silver'

I have no clue about how they would apply them

just my 0.02

I went back again this morning and looked at a printout I can hold in my hand...I think theres room bottom-center ABOVE the raised edge under the oval. But it looks cramped next to the denom. So then I was thinking mabe same postion but right-justified? Leaving it opposite position to the denom..

 

[DJ Mack]

1 - I kind of like the idea of center right, would you be thinking of it running vertically, but parallel to the edge?
2 - I don't really care but maybe something like 16SC#### or SC16#### just to denote the year. Mentioning PCF, while nice, is not really critical. First and foremost they are your plaques.
3 - Definitely agree with silver/chrome

Lol yeah right justified - lol I think that what I was meant to say

I'm really digging A or B, but A first.

 

[DJ Mack]

I'm leaning towards C first, it looks like it belongs. The other three look like adding it on was an afterthought. The black honeycomb behind the lettering just seems a bit off to me. If you go with A maybe knock it down a bit so it's completely off the stripe.

This^^^^^^
If you can get it off the ribbon
Just checked my blades plaques as they are serial numbered. They are printed on the inside. I do not know if that is how they do them all, but that is how the blades plaques were done

Could I trouble you for a pic?

 

[Quicksilver-75]

NVM. I borrowed one. I sure hope they have other colors than black. Otherwise we could look into UV marks?

 

[Quicksilver-75]

I'm terribly sorry guys. I have issues. I'm never satisfied. Just ask @Gear. I change my mind so much its a wonder I can get dressed in the morning....

Anyways. I really didn't like the backdrop on the plaques before. What do you guys think of these.?..@DJ Mack , @MillyS , @RowdyRawhide
EDIT: Added the serial numbers. They are screened on to the back of the top layer. I can use whatever color possible. I think we can all agree moving to where it is shown may be best. The honeycomb will make it hard to decipher and if I move it near the raised edge there is a chance it may end up half under it...

 

[DJ Mack]

I'm still buyin' (y) :thumbsup:

 

[RowdyRawhide]

Hey they are your plaques you make them how you want. I think all of your improvements on the new ones are spot on though.

I'm still in

 

[Quicksilver-75]

Uhhgggg....Changed the location of the serial.....again. I also moved the flare points of the gradient to purposely make the spots where the serial #s will go darker thus giving a higher contrast.

 

[DJ Mack]

Yep, I agree - do em as you like em. We're just along for the ride. That said, with the new flare points I think the serial numbers are perfect in that location. Nice and crisp.

Out of curiosity what program are you using to do your artwork?

Almost always illustrator. Photoshop if i'm using any raster images. A few other utility programs for very specific tasks but inevitably always finish the project with illustrator.

I think I have some high hand plaques coming from you. You can hold those till these come in and put them all in one package. No need for fanci figures on combined shipping those few bucks aren't gonna break me

No problem. I don't think your plaques will actually increase the cost. Maybe by $1.40 if memory serves..

 

[LabMonkey]

I'm still in for a single $20 plaque. Thanks!
