2011 maine geocoin design

[hide_from_the_kids]

Here is what we have had suggested so far:

most of the images plus a few more along with mention of the creator can be found in the photo gallery in the maine geocoin inputs

these are the ones in the link i posted in the previous thread.

Not sure whose this is?


dr. Who (rick made a mockup of this with a heart shape, snopwshoes on one side; lobster on the other.


bassoon (only visited this site the day he joined, gc.com account has been closed)

i did these. If anyone wants to put them in for 2011 then you have my permission.


this was put together by me from dr. Who's design. The coin would be heart shaped.


bassoon as brdad mentioned.

i think a great idea for the next coin would be one in the shape of maine.

2011 will be the 10 year mark for caching in maine and something that signifies maine and geocachingmaine.org.

winter scenes have been mentioned, the 10th anniversary is jan 2nd, perhaps a snowflake shape?

in keeping with the anniversary theme, it doesn't necessarily have to be a specific area. Let's say, something like a coin in the shape of maine. On the back is a pine tree with a chickadee (state tree and state bird) and on the front a silhouette of a cacher/hiker and wording honoring the 10 year mark of caching in maine.

i liked the design with the cabin, the snow and the snowshoes. Or at least i think that's what was on it. One state, colorado maybe? Has some great designs. I'd like to see something "scenic".

here is another idea.

any thought to doing a "coin" with something maine based on the big piece - perhaps the anniversary......and a medallion hanging down from it on jump rings like the tsunrisebey 2009 earth turtle coins.

Lot of potential there - hang a lobster, hang snowshoes, hang a jeep, or a little piece with a mountain and a beach at the end.

hi

i have an idea and i am attaching an image to show what i was thinking, but the image is very rough. I only spent about 30 minutes on it... I just want a way to show what i am thinking. It may end up being too busy for a small coin, so i don't know if it would even work out.

Basically, my idea is that we poll members of the board to suggest items (caching related or maine related) that come to mind when they think of their geocaching in maine experiences. Then we include all of those items, or the top however many repeated items, inside the image of a map of maine.

For my example, i included a lobster trap, lighthouse, snow covered mountains, tent, ammo boxes, pine trees, moose and lobster.

Thoughts?

much better way to do it!!!!!!!!!

If i may suggest...

No black or "gun metal'
maine is a beautiful state chock full of color. Making the state so dark, is morbid to me.
What about a coin shaped like a lighthouse , the top area could have the windows removed if there is a need to attach it to something. Or a pine cone that's hinged like lt cache.or how about a coin size # 10 and pics that represent maine could be put on the numbers and on the back ...
