Design Contest!; Spec Ops Challenge Coin

Since everyone in the 501st seems to be doing challenge coins these days, I thought we'd blaze the trail for the Detachments and do ours first!

I'll leave the designing open for a month, then put it to a vote. Any member may submit as many designs as they wish, and all submissions must be both front and back (tail side should have our Det Shield) or the Krayt Dragon Bones over the Imp Cog with our motto: Swift, Silent, Relentless!

It must also say 501st Special Ops in English somewhere on the coin.

Accepted colors are Red, White, and Black.

Winner gets a few coins and eternal bragging rights. My aim is to make the coins available for around $5 shipped. The 501st allows no profit to be made on these, so they will be sold at cost - as you know with the patches, we had the coolest patches for $2.50 (the cheapest I ever saw a Legion patch offered for).

Let the contest begin and post your artwork in the thread. I use these guys for an image host: http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/

How about one side have the spec ops logo and the other just have a couple of E-11s in an 'X' pattern?

So is this still up in the air right now? I don't recall ever coming across this thread, and it'd be cool to submit something if it's not too late. Nice one DJ69.

So these coins will have color?

The Coin Traders forum has brought up interest in detachment coins. MEPD has a coin that includes thier sheild logo.

Posted Image

So maybe we could use thier template for ours.

User a silver coin

On the front with out sheild have: Swift Silent Relentless in red or white, black background,

On the back in big black letters SPEC OPS and underneath in black have EU Trooper Detachment. The cog could be red on white, or white on red.

Sorry I cannot fashion this into an image, but I kinda like the idea.

May a non-501st member submit something? I've got rough designs done in Photoshop already, and they should be finished by the end of the week.

That is a neat idea. They wouldn't think we'd be copying do they?
