Opencaching North America Pathtags; let's get er' done!

[Mr.Yuck]

Sorry about the lame Larry the Cable guy reference. This has been discussed in multiple threads in the past, but the tags have never been ordered. The Geocoin store has a "fundraiser", where you can get the pathtags made with no money up front, and they are sold in packs of 20 for $20 to our members (or anyone who wants them). http://www.geocoinstore.com/index.php?m ... =page&id=5 I have already contacted them to make sure they still have this program in place, although I don't see why not.

Here is one of the past threads on the matter: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=399&start=0&hilit=pathtags It also looks like DG has a nice front design posted to Flikr. We'd have to hammer out a final design. I'd like to buy a bunch of these and give them away on the blog, or even Twitter. I'm going to Mid-West Geobash in July, which is darn near as big as Geowoodstock, and hosting one of our OCNA meet-ups there (although I haven't submitted it yet), and would like to give away/trade our tags there.

Much of the talk in the past was about these being OCUS (Or OCNA) one year anniversary pathtags, but we can pretty much forget that part now. Whaddya you guys think?

Definitely. Want to make it just the basic logo with "OpenCaching (or Opencaching) North America"? Might be good to have the URL (or one of them), too, though.

The font is called "In His Hands", per RVRoadTrip, if we need to add / modify text.

We just need someone to actually get the design ready to submit.

Also, they have a Tag Backs program where we might be able to design a OCNA back that folks to add to their own tags for a small fee, part of which I think would also come back to us.

[Mr.Yuck]

Just so we're on the same sheet of music, are we talking about this pathtag design you have out there on Flikr? http://www.flickr.com/photos/selfdsn/54 ... 466124316/ I can't post it here, as you appear to have turned of sharing. But of course people can see it by clicking that link.

I like the idea of the Tag Backs.

Also...don't forget that GxProxy has the OCNA logo as a stock image for the backs of SigMarx for anyone to use. They are not trackable, but make a nice sig item.

[Mr.Yuck]

OK, the gentlemen who got back to me from The Geocoin Store says that he personally is not aware of anyone who has ever took them up on this "fundraiser" offer. I'm sure they're not a huge operation, we may in fact be the BETA testers.

Also, although Mr. Yuck wouldn't mind making some money to offset the ridiculously high cost of the Opencaching.mx domain (that was a joke, but it is 5 1/2 times the price of the opencaching.us domain), seeing as we are just a website, with no "non-profit" status as an organization, the money made will be in the form of pathtags cash on the pathtags website. So of course we just use that to buy more pathtags to trade/give away, to further promote OCNA.

Totally off the wall, and off-topic, but if it's free, not that difficult, and requires no lawyer to become a registered non profit organization, anyone think I should look into that?

I am definitely in for 40. Can you have the .US added to the Opencaching? Any idea when they will be available?

[DudleyGrunt]

OK, so who do we have who can take the basic "OCUS" logo and mod it to read, "OpenCaching North America" (In His Hands font) and make any other mods we want. Maybe even create a "tag back" design, while we're at it? I may have someone local who would be willing to help. He helped me with my current Pathtag.

Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, please see if he will help!! I agree with the Opencaching North America part. Do we want a www.opencaching.us anywhere on the front or back?

[Sabrefan7]

yes I think thats important

Freekacher has offered to help and we've begun working with him.
