Okay...I'm stupid. What does Lenticular mean??

[snowgooseltd]

I've seen pins with this in the title. The dictionary doesn't give a clear definition of the word and I can't seem to put it's definition in conjuction with a pin. Thanks for the help...

Don't feel alone! I've been wondering the same thing. Can't wait to hear the answer.

Snowgoose,

I am 99% sure they are the types of pins that if you move a certain way the image on the pin changes.
EX: The Villain Pin from one of the DL events. They a had a picture of a villain on the pin posing, but when you moved it a certain way, their faces became mean faces.

I hope this helps, it was my best attempt at explaining this type of pin.

I believe Matt's answer to be the right one!

Snowgoose,

You are the weakest link; GOODBYE!!

Seriously, I didn't know the definition either, so I guess I too will say goodbye.

They are kind of like holographic. I have the lenticular July 4th and the background changes from stars to stripes when you turn the pin to a different angle.

and that round goes to Sorcerer_Matt who had the correct answer!

Lenticular means that the image changes from one printed image to another image via a clear prismatic surface. The ultimate lenticular examples are the Haunted Mansion and Pirates cards by Kodak that were available at the Disney Gallery.

A hologram, although acheiving a similar result, is much different.

Snowgoose, tell Matt what he's won!

 

[snowgooseltd]

Matt, you've won an all expense paid, four day, three night stay at...oh, wait! that's another show. Silly me, I am the weakest link. Goodbye!!
