Because I haven’t done a post about badges for months. Post by Doug Burbidge Grant Stone chatted to me briefly at last Swancon, and figured that I must be aware of the jar of badges in the Murdoch SF collection. I wasn’t. I am now. It seems that Gary Hoff donated a whole swag of… Continue reading More Badges

Swancon 32 badge
Post by Doug Burbidge Swancon 32, in 2007. (There’s a page behind that link and all.) This badge is landscape mode, which I like — it leaves lots of room for the member’s name. “Chris” and “Creagh” are quite short names, but longer names like “Christopher” and “Bateman-Graham” would have used quite a lot of… Continue reading Swancon 32 badge
Swancon 2003 badge
Post by Doug Burbidge Swancon 2003. (That link takes you to “There is currently no text in this page.” Feel free to create some.) I went to this con, but I have no idea where my badge went, so here’s Chris Creagh’s. Nice black readable text, though the “A” has gone a bit Stargatey. Greyed-out… Continue reading Swancon 2003 badge
Swancon 2006 badge converse
Post by Doug Burbidge In a previous post, I was all chuffed with myself for doing transparent badges for Swancon 2006, until I learned that John Parker had beaten me to the idea by several years. Above is a surplus badge from that year (the guest whose badge this was was unable to make it),… Continue reading Swancon 2006 badge converse
Call Out
post by Chris Creagh If you have any free time then take a look at our collection of pictures http://www.flickr.com/groups/1644715@N22/ If you have even more free time and know any “stuff” about the pictures and would like to help us expose them for all the world to see then please tell us about it, or… Continue reading Call Out
Swancon 2002 badge
Post by Doug Burbidge Swancon 2002 was subtitled “Dragons of the World” (to which my brain always automatically adds the word “unite!”). One side of this badge names me as “Doug”; the other side as “Doug Burbidge”, with the second name under the first and in a smaller font. This would be a great feature,… Continue reading Swancon 2002 badge
Swancon 2000 badge
Post by Doug Burbidge SwanCon 2000: another Swancon I didn’t go to, on account of being in America at the time. The con name is bigger than the member name. Normally I would rant at this, except that the membership class is enormously larger than either the name or the logo, to the extent that… Continue reading Swancon 2000 badge
SwanICon badge
Post by Doug Burbidge SwanICon: a Swancon I didn’t go to, on account of being in America at the time. So here’s someone else’s badge. The “IC” is because that’s Roman numerals for “99”. I guess they didn’t like the look of “MIM”, or “SwanMIMcon” I like the circular text at the top centre showing… Continue reading SwanICon badge
Swancon 2006 badge
Post by Doug Burbidge Swancon 2006. You’ll see that this badge deals with some of the issues that I have been ranting about with regards to previous badges (font size, readability, single-sidedness, etc.) That’s because I made the badges for 2006. I thought I was dead clever making transparent badges. But it turned out John… Continue reading Swancon 2006 badge
Swancon 2004 badge
Post by Doug Burbidge Swancon 2004. (I went to Swancons 2002 and 2003, but I don’t know where my badges went. Pics of badges, anyone?) Biiig logo, smaaall font for the member’s name, in an ultra-bold font for low readability. I shall cry now.
