Voted, though it was a tough choice. I'm sure if I tried printing any of these on my B&W printer they wouldn't look quite so good, but I'll figure something out.

Voted.

I'll also cough up for the same thing as Skinnee has. I'm willing to create some name-tags for people and drop them off at the FF table at the start of the con for those that aren't comfortable in doing it themselves.

These are great tags guys, it was really difficult choosing one!

I used Skinnee's design this time around, he also did great ones for C2 & 3; I used his template on C3 and it was great. This was a great way to identify FanForcers at the con!

Once again, great job guys!

Actually, I was only responsible for the C2 design. Grimby was the one who supplied the C3 design and he did a phenomenal job on it.

It's going to sound like a no-brainer, but if you have access to a color laser printer, I would recommend printing out your badge design from one of them as opposed to a regular inkjet color printer. The image will have a sharper look to it and helps eliminate the possibility of any color smearing during the lamination process.

I printed mine on an inkjet printer onto photo paper and it looks great. Really clear.

From my experience, photo printers look better. Color lasers give pictures a weird satin sheen.
