Okay, the guy who did this, Crow, is busy helping Michigan's soon to be garrison with its logo, so I will not bug him to change tiny minute things, so here is my submission. I really like it. It puts the crest into a coin shape while still resembling out detachment logo.

Very clean, good looking too. Covers all the bases there.

How big are the actual coins? I jsut did a bunch of copy pasting and paint brush work on my initial design, vector images work best though, if they need a large image, can go any size with those no problem.

Most coins, at least the ones I have from MWG and MI Squad, have the 501sr legion emblem, same as the logo in the above banner, on the reverse side.

Lets put a poll up for all the options. Or if you think you already agreed, we need to find someone to take lead on the production.

That design works great.

I don't suppose I get one of them for jump-starting things again, do I? =]

This project will be a go once I get the coin design file from Cujo's friend Crow. I've talked it over with a fellow member to help finance the run and we'll get a run done probably before Thanksgiving.

I'm going to try and keep the cost down as much as I can for a full color coin. I suspect it'll be no more than $7 shipped world-wide. We're looking at 1.56" diameter, 3 color enamel, 3-D raised design on shiny silver (or nickel). It'll be the exact same size as the official 501st Legion coin.

The reverse side will have the standard 501st Legion logo as seen at the top of the screen.

Can we please sell this coin legion wide? I am getting alot of people who want this coin, and if it were an exclusive I'd have to get a bunch to trade with them, so I think it would be better for the Detachment if we offered it to the entire legion. Just my opinion.

It's always been planned Legion-wide. ;) That's the only way we can recoup the huge amount of money to get a run started - I'll have to order about 200.

We're working out the supplier and cost right now. As soon as we place the final order, I'll have Scott place it on the Legion forums. ;)
