? Challenge Coin - Need help with Design ?

This could be a Silver version...don't necessarily like this look, but maybe once they make me a proof version it will look better.

The fireworks was a great suggestion and looks very good. I might be in the minority but I think the silver looks nice, it does make the green really pop. You have real talent!

I agree, the silver looks really nice, all the colors stand out more.

it's allllll ChatGPT - well, on the castle at least. The rest is alllll me....well, and Disney cartoonists.

 

[marty3d]

I also like the silver - do think it makes the colours pop more!

 

[The Expert]

So is this the design you want?

Okay but is it wrong if I kinda DO want this?? That Tink with Carissa's head is

And I like the silver more than I thought I would. I still kinda like the gold more, but wouldn't be disappointed with either version.

 

[GuinnessRunner]

Put me in the silver camp as well. Great work on these!

And maybe we replace Dopey's head with John Pelkey - throw in Jogging Jack on the course in the back .... would be a very niche coin

oooh...yeah i could put some Easter eggs on the back because there is room.

you're just saying that because it makes it very MSU-y.

 

[AtomicFrog]

I like the gold coin…. but I’m from Louisiana… so purple, green and gold just go together for us .

 

[Mr_Incr3dible]

Dude! I think you nailed it! The addition of Tink and the fireworks is great.
I think I prefer the gold, but the silver looks good as well.
I get 1971 as the year that WDW opened, but I don't think I see "2025" anywhere?
Or is there the potential to do an inscription around the outside perimeter of the coin? On the edge itself, not on the obverse or reverse? You could put the year there and maybe some other text. Just a thought.

i dont want to add a current year to the actual coin becuase i would like to give them out in the future as well and it costs a lot to make a new design each year...so currently will have 2 variations if you count last years version but really 3 since i will probably get half silver half gold made.

i had thought about making a mini medal , hexagonal one on the back, that could have a year in it but that too would add to my cost to get separately produced.

i still may want to add a ribbon across the front that is some flat space where the mini medals from the back could rest but havent figured it out yet. last coin had the obvious place where the mini medals attached on the front and i decided to add similar mini medals on the back of this new design. but i haven't figured out how or where they would be placed on the new coin...not sure if i need to, per se, but those are.my current thoughts.


also trying to figure out what easter eggs to add on back...i thought of adding a little jack sparrow but didnt just want to add one "egg" unless i could have like 3 or more. so still debating things. i will hopefully have near final design by end of friday so i can then start the order process by end of weekend

 

[Erika10021]

Oh my gosh, I love the new medal design!! The, map and fireworks are excellent additions. I am leaning towards the gold but either would be glorious.

Now I even more excited about doing Dopey!

 

[Herding_Cats]

Just so anyone who is newer knows, @Z-Knight handed these out at the morning meetups last year. So now you gotta show up.

 

[Z-Knight]

I would like some advice on a couple more things - this time the back of the coin.

1) What should the text be at the bottom. Initially I had "Every Mile is Magic" but that's the same message the one guy has on his coin - didn't want to just copy that.

Give me options...these are some I had: WISH UPON A STAR
EVERY MILE IS MAGIC
EVERY MILE IS PAIN
DREAM DARE DO
FAILURE IS NEVER QUITE SO FRIGHTENING AS REGRET



I like the quote "Failure is never quite so frightening as regret" but dang that is long and it just wont look good on the bottom.

2) I temporarily added Jack Sparrow to the bottom of the course - but it is odd just to have one character and so I don't know if it is worth it or what else to add. Tried adding the monorail to the middle but it didn't come out good. Maybe less is more and just leave it off. I also though of adding a couple of Princesses running.

3) The color of the course - someone suggested making it be the metal color,

Here is what a silver version could look like


And here is a version if I don't have colored parks or course, but instead make the metal colored.

What about "Go the Distance"?

 

[marty3d]

1 - Go the Distance is a great idea!
2 - Agree. Less is more. Unless you can find something that really fits and looks good.
3- I like the metal colored course

 

[The Expert]

What about "Go the Distance"?

This is the correct answer.
I also agree that less is more and the metal colored course looks best. This is going to be so good!
