Here's a "photoshoppy" one I made just now out of boredom:
Click thumbnail to enlarge ( 1024x768, 105KB )
Obvious Xbox references etc etc, standard barcode thingmajiggy (should read out "beekeepers" but I'm not sure).

That is very well done, we should show our geek pride by making badges out of these and wearing them around.
That would make people so jealous of us. They'd be like: "what's that?" And we could be all like: "It's just this thing"
It would rock!

I'd have to ask Wolf to be sure, but that font reminds me of the Haunted Mansion.

Ooh, me like!
Especially the green one, because of the Xbox link, and because, well... I guess I have a habitual preference for barcodes

Hey that's sort of what I was thinking!
Now to buy barcode readers to all our secret meetings-
Glad you liked it. The text, if you haven't noticed allready is the image-story text from the website.

I did notice. Have you read both the mayday text and the widow's story (as well as the computer code)?

Geek time.
The Haunted Mansion font can be downloaded on the net as either Ruben or Ravenscroft (Ravenscroft is a fuller, more detailed version of the font than Reuben). The slightly modified version of the font used for the film title is also available, but I can't remember what it's called.
Ravenscroft and Ruben are downloadable here: http://mickeyavenue.com/fonts/disney-fonts.html
Not that I'm a fan or anything.

I'll just toss this in. Spacebass said he wanted to see it on a t-shirt, but in light of the negative reaction people've had towards the other ilovebees t-shirt guy, I think I'm gonna hold off on that.

Forgive the unfinishedness, it's a concept. To be copyright legal I'd have to draw everything by hand. But it made some people smile, so, why not post it, I guess. ^^;

I would still be very very interested even with that "ID Badge" style thing... I thought the idea of transparency with that logo was really cool. Anyway, let me/all of us know if it ever comes to fruition!
(**edit-- I'm also quite the sucker for wearing bar codes... so 70's style futuristic... )

Me like very much the badgy thing. Make it two-sided so we have script and bar code. And you know if you want to donate T-shirt proceeds to the community (less whatever taxes you might be liable for), I don;'t think people would object - maybe add to the store Colin started? Can't help ya with the copyright issues, however. Also can't help ya with that particular shirt design. VERY catchy!
