 | | Name tags...?
|
|
I've been meaning to ask if you're planning on making any name tags. I think it'll be very useful because most of us will not recognize the other people. I've barely seen one/two pics of three/four people that I know will be there. Or maybe I saw (...) (25 years ago, 19-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

(...) Me too! (...) Yup. (...) I was thinking about volunteering to do so, but I don't have a scanner easily available and my digital camera is away at Nikon being serviced :-( My idea was to spray out some bricks on the flat-bed scanner, scan it, (...)

(...) Well, at worst case the brick backgrounds from Lugnet could be used. What would be kind of cool is if the background which will be used is posted on the web, and then those of us who want to pre-print our name tags can do so. Name tags should (...)

(...) ...good one! :-) I like the theme icons bestest. Lugnet icon is good too. ...We can print up a sheet of assorted icons on sticky backed paper and print up 'blank' nametags (Staples has decent deal on these things) that way we will be able to (...)

(...) Great ideas! (Surprise....it looks like I'm coming afterall - but not for certain yet) I have two of my own - a general BAYLUG one, and my own ldraw.org one. But your ideas sound better :) If you don't make them Brickfest specific, they'd be (...) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

I think shrinking will work better than cropping. I'll try and snag the (...) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

(...) Or, buttons/name badges could be overtly non-generic and a mildly geeky tradition of wearing several to mark the multiple gatherings attended could start. This could work out well if they were done stylishly. Chris (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

(...) I had in mind, lightening the section rather than desaturating, but basically, that's what I had in mind. Because you left some dark parts, it's mildly difficult to read your name. A counter example (with thanks to you for the background (...) (25 years ago, 20-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

Well....I've only used the ldraw.org one at the Museum of Science and Industry (Chicago) for the FLL competition - partly to identify myself to other lugnetters coming, and partly to be recognized in a serious group of lego users. The latter (...) (25 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

(...) Oh, you're right. I like your's much better. Unfortunately, I don't have any access to *normal* photo editing programs, so mono-chroming was my only choice... ugh! If you could make an empty version of your tag (i.e. without your name) I'd be (...) (25 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

(...) Golly, no! I just used those fonts because they were on the machine I borrowed. I didn't figure out what they were from until after I was done. I like science fiction too much to be a trekkie. As far as I can tell the original show had some (...) (25 years ago, 21-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)

(...) That seems to be the general sentiment I get from SF fans. I can't get into the fantasy realm of SF like there is in other shows. I'm really nobody for fantasy themes/shows/etc. That's what I feel about the more 'serious' SF series/books... (...) (25 years ago, 22-May-00, to lugnet.org.us.wamalug)
