I would deffinitely be intersted in a pin or two. My computer is off to be repaired and I am using one I built out of junk I had layign around. Once I get mine back and get everything reinstalled including photchopper I'll try my hand a a pin design.

I like the look of the one derekhenry posted. I also like the idea of of your membership type being included.

Perhaps something like the Rally pins you see that are one big pin then smaller pins with the years under them. I know that might be a bit presumptuous with the guy offering to do tem for free and we don't want to get greedy. But with everyone else I think we should be paying for them. And obviously would be willing to pay for mine.

But I really think the smaller secondary pins would be nice option, that way as a persons membirship changes so could their pins.

Just kicking out ideas.

I'll be missing for the next few days as Dylan and myself are off to Wales. I'll have a proper look at this next week and get things moving. If there are any more members with ideas for the design, feel free to put them here.

Sounds like you got a heck of a deal 

If your going to be around, stay in business you must cover the overhead so charge for the pin 

If you want to see more donations get a PO box or some form of snail mail system, I can not be the only person that refuses to use Pay Pal

 

Design? I like Green :leprechaun:

Sounds like a great idea to me too.  What about a pin in the shape of a GoldWing with the forum design on it.  Wingstuff has one with their logo on it that I'll post for an example.

I stopped wearing my Rally vest due to the pins being all different shapes....it never looked right....got a plain vest.

I vote for anything ROUND.  One inch round is way big enough.

Just an thought here. If the pins were able to be produced prior top the big Shindig in Calhoun, GA I'm sure they would move quite well & the postage would be only for one package.

BTW, I won't post useless garabge just to get posting points..

What?  :shock:     Someone who NEVER posts any garbage on here? :P

Heaven forbid such a thing were to happen :cheeky1:

I've reviewed all of my posts and I haven't found even one of them worth elevating above the description of "garbage" :cooldevil:

mi2AZ, ya just gotta realize that if you don't post, we won't know if you are still alive and still breathing? :cooldj:

I think I like this one best. I'd pay a couple of bucks for this one.

This is one I came up with, I used a 1200 Wheel and bike , but any model would be ok. You can put any thing on it you want, Just an idea, I know it is crude.:cheeky1:

I'd guess that if the feedback to the proposed keyrings design is good, then the pin will be similar;

This design I like. The rear wheel is coming out from South America and near Caracas where me and my NGW reside. Please, include me on the list and send mines to my son's address in: 138 Sharrow Vale Rd., Sheffield, UK, S11 ZD. We for sure accept reasonable costs+S&H expenses and a final design too. Je Je.

Nice idea Wingnut and to the German member who came-up with the initiative. :clapper:

Concur, also having something like active member wouldn't be right once one's status changed to guru or some such. I'd rather see "Steve Saunders Goldwing Forum" on top of any pin or badge.
