Who?!? J/k. There is no doubt that the customs have been given their place but I think the big three are still Boba, Jango, and Zam, with the variants being just that, variants of Boba... actually Jango is little more than a Boba variant, but at least he was in a movie.

Don't think I like this but here is one idea for the helmet on the back. The only cool part is that as the coin wears, the helmet will naturally "weather"!

I wonder what currency the "Sniffer" coin would be worth?

Like Art said, the Charlie's Angels pose is TDH default "logo" and should be the face of the coin.

I really love that idea as well, although the side with the boba helm seems to be missing something, or seems a bit plain. I think it would look cool if it had a ring around it that said "the dented helmet" in aurabseh, or something similar...just to add a bit more pizzazz. Also, about the coin weathering, Yes that would be cool, but these coins don't really weather!!! If they are made similarly to the 501st ones I have, they won't weather at all due to the hard epoxy enamel. I've carried mine in my pocket almost everyday for quite some time, along with loose change, nails, screws, and even the occasional spark plug. Mine still looks like brand new!!
Also, I ran this by a few of my fellow garrison members that we may be develpoing a coin in the near future. I had a pretty good response, and I really think we will have no trouble when it comes to getting rid of these or trading them for other challenge coins. I really hope this becomes a reality...pretty excited about it!!

how about having the angels logo on one side and the actual 'dent' on the other?

Well, it certainly isn't my call, but personally, I would rather have something more recognizable as one of the charaters on at least one side of the coin. The angles logo is cool, but beyond TDH, most folks always ask me what its supposed to be....even people that are pretty big into SW!!!! I showed a few of the ideas to fellow garrison members & everyone of them asked, "what is the angle logo supposed to be"???? Don't get me wrong, I still think the angels logo should be on there, but if we have just a "dent" on the other side, Most folks aren't going "get it" Whereas if we have a fett helmet, or maybe a mando skull on the flip side, everbody will recognize that right off the bat!!! Then again, I suppose this project is primarily for us TDHers, and we all know what that stuff means!!!! I guess I would suggest that we have a few differnt designs & maybe have a vote?????? Just my 2 cents.

I am having my wife drawing up some draft designs of those that have been mentioned you would all like to see and we can vote what combinations we like the best.

That's just it: it's a TDH coin. It's for us. If everyone "got it" then to me, it just wouldn't mean as much. It kind of gives it that mystery. It almost makes me feel, (Bob, dare I say it) elitist.

I like the idea of having something on it that only us hardcore Fettists would recognize and know. Like the TDH shirt with the squeegee tool on it

As I mentioned in my initial post regarding the Fett helmet coin side, I am not real crazy about it and the more I look at it the less crazy I am about it. While I love the "bantha" skull... It has been used so much that I really hate to use it... even though it is an awesome logo. In regard to the Angels logo, if this is to be a TDH coin, I don't know how it COULDN'T have the angels logo. That is our official logo and has been for years. Does everyone "get" it? I am sure they don't. But this is not a generic "Fett" coin we are talking about, this is a TDH coin. While we certainly don't have to use the exact angels logo layout I posted above, I think if this is to be a TDH coin, we need something like it on one side... The other side is still up in the air. I am hesitant to use the dent because it is so obscure and something like the bantha skull is too overused... So what do we go with? What defines us as a community?

Would it be possible to use the crest on Boba's chest. I always thought that it might be a family crest since there is an F even though the letter is not in the mando dictionary and since a piece of wheat is on the crest and Fett means farmer.

How about TDH angels logo on one side and a silhouette of Boba on the other? Posed with blaster in hands.

Well, if you;re wanting to incorporate another logo to represent the board as a whole, I really can't think of anything. If you choose a Fett emblem, the Zammers are left out and vice versa. Even though we aren't an outpost or detachment of the 501st, the Imperial cog is an option. Also, since we are the Dented Helmet, like Art suggested, just "dent" the back side of the coin.

I have a suggestion: Since this will be a board coin, is there any way to put a poll in a seperate thread and let the board members vote on it?

I would also suggest putting a blank bar on the back so the members can engrave their board name.

I suggested the dent way back in post 44, oh well.

I agree with the idea of a bar to engrave one's name on, the Pathfinders coin has such a bar.

I definitely like the Boba, Jango, Zam design. The other "bucket" design isn't bad at all, however, I'd like to see other options, though...something that reflects the nature of our forums--something instantly recognizable.
