Hey I need some advice on my 2nd coin design - it's been tough trying to one up the previous design and I can't really do it justice. But I do want to make a second one anyway and so I have the following design that I'm trying.

I really liked the new Dopey run pose so I chose to use that for the front and I am thinking of making the color scheme be Green front and Purple back - Dopey colors.

I decided to basically do the same "mini-medals" for the back as the previous design - that way they could actually be interchangeable. And based on a suggestion from @Mr. lncredible I added a course map on the back.

Help I need:
1) Colors Green and Purple - any other suggestions?
2) Front empty space - what to add there? Do I make Dopey bigger?
3) Back - Ignore the green background for the mini-medals- those would be metal, I just used it as a temporary shape holder.
but do I make any of the parks bigger? Color of course line?
4) Include front Dopey BIB or not? If so, should it be 48.6 instead of 1971, etc?



Note that castle on front won't be colored, it will be metal color like old challenge coin was, but it is centered now.


Yes, technically the 5K is pluto or waldo, etc, but I just chose to include Daisy instead.

For the front I thought about adding a ribbon across the middle, like the tattoo someone had made of this character



I have a lot of EMPTY space on the front - I really need ideas how to fill that. Also, I may try to do both a silver and gold version of the coin - to see which is better.

Oh and if you don't recall what last years version looked like, here it is:

It looks so awesome as is!
Adding the course map is a great idea…
Thanks for sharing and for doing jt!

(you are making me think on Dopey again in 2027) LOL

Probably too hard….but in the empty front space, any way to put a fireworks burst of some kind? Or pixie dust? (Tink looks like she had a wand in her hand)

Looks great! I do kind of like the Dopey banner/ ribbon. I don't think the parks need to be bigger on the back - you don't want to crowd it too much.

(almost) makes me wish I was doing Dopey this year!

I love it so far!

To answer your questions...

1) Colors Green and Purple - any other suggestions?

I love the colors. And I think they will look good with either gold or silver, but I'd lean gold.

2) Front empty space - what to add there? Do I make Dopey bigger?

What about the year? I also like the idea of a fireworks burst, like the 3, 2, 1, GO! fireworks.

3) Back - Ignore the green background for the mini-medals- those would be metal, I just used it as a temporary shape holder.
but do I make any of the parks bigger? Color of course line?

I think the scale looks good. Maybe just go black with the map line? Or you could go the opposite metal of whatever the rest is (ie gold on silver or vice versa).

4) Include front Dopey BIB or not? If so, should it be 48.6 instead of 1971, etc?

I think the 1971 is a cute touch!

Only if you can figure out a way to depict mylar blankets with a big X over them too.

 

[Kerry1957]

It looks fantastic!!
If you want to fill the front a bit you could make Dopey a touch larger and/or add fireworks.

 

[Naomeri]

I think fireworks would look great on the front

 

[3princesandaprincess]

It looks awesome!! The course map is a great add! I like the idea of fireworks on the front.

 

[matt and beth]

It looks great! I really like the idea of increasing the size of Dopey.
