I wanna know when you get them? Does anyone know? I know it outta be soon, but my dad mailed the pre-reg forms on new years eve and we aren't sure if they made it. Last year they had a list of who is already registered... anyone know anything about that either? ^.^;

Mirithespazz · « **Reply #1 on:** January 29, 2008, 08:35:08 pm »

I don't expect the badges to come out so soon (though I didn't register untill July last year)
And the list of people didn't show up untill the summer last year (unless I am mistaken, In which case someone correct me if I'm wrong)

COMaestro · « **Reply #2 on:** January 29, 2008, 10:23:14 pm »

Actually, last year the badges for people who registered before the New Year went out before now. The next tier of pre-reg's went out a couple months after that. They're running behind this year, for some reason.

Crafty crafty.

I registered at......what was it....Sakura Festival, the one right after Kumoricon 07. I was curious if they were going to be made anytime soon, but not curious enough to post, lol

Kendo boyfriend: "Wait, you already have a badge?? I registered at K-con and I don't have a badge. No fair!"

melchizedek · « **Reply #6 on:** January 30, 2008, 04:32:39 am »

I registered at Japan fest and still no badge

Evaldas · « **Reply #7 on:** January 30, 2008, 01:18:41 pm »

Just curious, for all those who got their badges at Mochitsuki, what did you think of them. You like them?

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #8 on:** January 30, 2008, 02:21:18 pm »

They're nice! I'm glad they're not paper badges anymore.

It's also nice having an adult badge. Woohoo~

Evaldas · « **Reply #9 on:** January 30, 2008, 04:23:24 pm »

Glad to hear it!

Rathany · « **Reply #10 on:** January 30, 2008, 07:24:16 pm »

I saw the stand with the sample badges at Mochitsuki and thought they looked great

Invader spleen · « **Reply #11 on:** January 30, 2008, 08:01:49 pm »

Ohh, okay. Thanks guys. ^.^; My sister kept asking, so yeah. Thankie thankies.

systemdown · « **Reply #12 on:** January 30, 2008, 10:34:43 pm »

Ok so I guess I better get this out here.

As of last weekend we just got the registration system up and running. So we are now working on getting Tier 1 printed out. This will take a few weeks to get finished. As soon as we have Tier 1 printed we will have an envelope stuffing and send them out. We will also be printing out badges out at the Ball this weekend.

MichaelEvans · « **Reply #13 on:** January 30, 2008, 10:42:32 pm »

So the March meeting will have an envelop stuffing party afterwards? (WTF, is Firefox set to English-English spelling again?)

VampireFangs103 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 31, 2008, 07:59:20 am »

I registered way back in September at Uwajimaya. Does anyone know when they'll put up the list of registered people? lol

Evaldas · « **Reply #15 on:** January 31, 2008, 08:13:54 am »

As mentioned above, you should know something within the next couple of months.

I am happy to hear the badges turned out well. Good feedback always makes a designer happy.

Mei Long · « **Reply #16 on:** February 09, 2008, 10:28:11 pm »

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who was worrying about the badges (I registered at the Uwajimaya festival). Anyway, is there anywhere we can see the badges? I'd like to see their awesomeness. =D

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2008, 01:44:13 pm »

I could take a picture of mine...though I'm not sure if that's against any rules? Anyone?

Invader spleen · « **Reply #18 on:** February 10, 2008, 02:18:24 pm »

I dunno, but I'd like to see them too. I took my 07 one to school and people said that it was really cute, and I guess this years is gonna be even cuter from what you guys are saying.

Mei Long · « **Reply #19 on:** February 11, 2008, 07:55:34 am »

I certainly hope you can take a picture of it! I can't imagine why not... the only reason I can think of is they want the design to be a secret, but people have already gotten theirs so the secret is out (if that makes any sense... I've got a 102 temperature right now and for all I know I could be babbling, heh). o.o

That sucks. 0.0 But don't worry, you made plenty sense. But also, someone might be able to take the picture or something and somehow make a fake id I think... but I don't think anyone would do that.

Just take a really bad picture that still shows how cute it is. XD

Yes!!! XD Brilliant.

Mei Long · « **Reply #23 on:** February 11, 2008, 09:59:58 pm »

Hahaha, kinda like a teaser image? You get to see it but you don't get to see it in crisp-clear-cuteness. =P

totemo_oishii · « **Reply #24 on:** February 11, 2008, 10:04:17 pm »

In case it matters, I have an adult badge...

Kimiski · « **Reply #25 on:** February 11, 2008, 11:46:25 pm »

I wanna see I wanna see it! I don't have mine, but me super excited! I finally get my first adult badge. Hurray for staying out late and looking at porn... I mean staying out late!!! xD Okay, maybe just some Yaoi.

MichaelEvans · « **Reply #26 on:** February 12, 2008, 12:54:59 pm »

Actually the convention uses a binary system for authentication, a valid badge and a valid lanyard. I suspect it's theoretically only cost effective to make good knockoffs of both when you're doing it in the kind of bulk that would be noticed anyway.

That's also why Yojimbo, and staff in general, should more often then not remind you to show both.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #27 on:** February 12, 2008, 04:37:09 pm »

Ohhh. I've learned stuff today 0.o

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #28 on:** February 14, 2008, 09:57:16 am »

I'll go ask the staff if its alright. I want to see the badges too.

Mei Long · « **Reply #29 on:** February 15, 2008, 02:34:36 am »

Yay! Thanks Tom! =D *keeps his fingers crossed*

Invader spleen · « **Reply #30 on:** February 15, 2008, 03:49:55 pm »

Hey... is Tom just like... a really common name or something? Cause all these sites have mods and stuff named Tom... like myspce. XD My cats name is Tom!!! : D

lol, my other cat is Sam. They're brothers. ~random~

MichaelEvans · « **Reply #33 on:** February 15, 2008, 08:31:05 pm »

Michael doesn't seem to be too common. In our convention we currently have only two, and thankfully one prefers to be called Mike instead. I remember a class (2nd grade) where we had three though. It wasn't a very large class either, maybe 30-35 max. Michael E. (and two other's who's last initials I forget.)

Though if you try looking me up in a public phone book... good luck.

John
Sam
Steve
Tom

Etc, probably with some bias on a generational basis.

Invader spleen · « **Reply #34 on:** February 15, 2008, 09:11:49 pm »

My dads middle name is Michael! My grandma calls him Mike. And I know a steve and like 5 johns... lol.... I love how horribly off topic we are. XD

Mei Long · « **Reply #35 on:** February 18, 2008, 01:27:10 am »

The names that are common where I live, it seems, are: Jessica, Chris, Jorge, Jennifer, Ian, and Rachel. The spelling variations make things loooads of fun too. x_x ("Okay, is this RachEl or RachEAL???"). XD

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #36 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:18:59 am »

TAKE A PICTURE!
Share the image, it's all good.

Rathany · « **Reply #37 on:** February 18, 2008, 10:24:11 am »

Per my talk with the reg manager over the weekend, we'd prefer badge pictures to be taken at an angle to be harder to use in forgeries.

I have a picture of all the sample badges that I hope to have online soon

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 18, 2008, 12:58:48 pm »

OMG The badges are soooo cute this year... kinda makes me sad that I don't get a normal adult badge but there are perks to having a staff badge in trade for losing my soul.... XD

<3 Please put it at a bit more of an angle. It almost looks straight on from where I see it. <3 Thank you and sorry bout the inconvenience.

The Badge Looks Real Nice

laurifer · « **Reply #44 on:** February 18, 2008, 06:25:10 pm »

I like the badge layout a lot better this year

MichaelEvans · « **Reply #45 on:** February 18, 2008, 06:39:06 pm »

Indeed, it looks QUITE splendid.

The only real room for improvement, and they may have considered this, might have been a fuzzy sort of halo-shadow effect on the lettering (probably with a blue tint for it) to make the lettering easier to read where it goes over the white of the tail.

Mirithespazz · « **Reply #46 on:** February 18, 2008, 08:19:03 pm »

they are so awesome this year!
I'm looking forward to getting mine.

I don't think the white is going to be much of a problem. I think they look great. Thanks for sharing the image. It is always exciting to see what the final product looks like in the end.

I like that light cloud design in the background, looks good.
