Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 12, 2006, 07:24:11 pm: I have a friend that works in a shop that does specialty items and one thing they make are coins. I thought it would be really cool if we had something like that for our members. He is going to cut me a break on the cost for the die. This will be a 2 sided coin with our logo on the front and the red feather on the bottom. The style I was concidering I have posted next to the design. The feather will be painted red, I was also thinking of the angel in white, please let me know what you think of both the idea and the design. I would appreciate any other ideas, as i have seen with e FA items we have so far and all of the sigs you guys and lady are very creative so your opions and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Post by: Anamodiel on May 12, 2006, 08:07:08 pm: That looks really cool. I like it a lot. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to buy one because I have no money. :)

Post by: Manic Velocity on May 12, 2006, 08:40:24 pm: Omfg. I can see Tbone sporting a zuit suit, rolling the FA coin across his knuckles.

I'd shell out a few bucks for one of these.

Post by: Avzeke (Khr0n1k) on May 12, 2006, 09:32:45 pm: About how much would one cost?

And it looks good!

Post by: Jeyk on May 12, 2006, 09:34:19 pm: I think I'd be a sucker for one of these as well. I'm waiting any day now for an FA Poker Set to pop up!

Post by: Lits on May 12, 2006, 09:43:54 pm: lol, i'd grab one... I like the idea of the design, but something seems missing... hrm... How detailed can these die be?
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 12, 2006, 10:09:01 pm: sorry, this is a 2" coin...not that detailed as far as images. what were you thinking?
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Lits on May 12, 2006, 11:41:08 pm: I'm not sure.. I was going to toss a few ideas around in photoshop when I get home if I'm not too drunk. I like the front though, the front looks great.

Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Ketamininja on May 13, 2006, 06:24:09 am: The detail on the (what seems) real coin seems good enough.
I'm down for one of these... but yeah:

-Matieral type?
-Costs?

Might be best to buy a crap-load for T, and let him award them or something :D
P&P to be considered too; especially international players.

Post by: Styan on May 13, 2006, 10:06:04 am: That would be super cool man :)
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Broin on May 13, 2006, 10:32:51 am: Very nice... If I remember correctly when I was talking to Bell about these he said they would not be very expensive probably less than the other things at the FA store. If you guys have some ideas for designs I'd throw them out quickly. My only suggestion is to get the word "Furious" centered up at the top of the coin. and put the www.followtheangle.org on the front with the symbol... Then put like an FA slogan on the back or something with the red feather or whatever... "Furious Since ....." I of course like my old saying "And behold I looked to the heavens and descending from upon high I saw a multitude of angels and their fury was like no other." or "and behold descending from the heavens I saw a multitude of Angels and their fury was like no other." Or something like that... Maybe to long... But something like that or.... Who know :) LOL I'm tired

Post by: Lithium on May 13, 2006, 11:09:41 am: followtheangle broin? who let the n00b in.

I already spoke with bell and told him I though this was a cool idea too.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 13, 2006, 11:32:57 am: I can chnge the back from est. 2004 to furious since 2004. I just thought it waould look to crowded.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Ketamininja on May 13, 2006, 02:48:54 pm: I have the original PSD formats for the "officially furious since..." logos that Lithium is using....

How much more expensive would it be to have them custom made... ie instead of a batch of the same (which would presumably be cheaper), individual items with custom date for the "furious since"? Nice additional touch, but not so important.... could keep it "officially furious" and do away with the "since" part.

Also, there are some connections between "red feathers" and The Merovingian origins. Although redfeather is something used for the path, the true origins within FA (as far as I am aware) is the WHITE feather (representing a feather from angels wings) on the bluepill forums, surrounded by a RED glow... it just became a sort of symbol..... which is interesting, I wonder if we can develop a proper RP story behind it ;)... unless Tbone has the official origins and I am wrong there...?
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 13, 2006, 05:56:38 pm: You would have to pay for each individual die that they have to create (I originally wanted to have one for each hovercraft, butI would have to have individual dies made to expensive)..about 80-95 bucks per side, and the coins are more expensive individually. I could make the feather white, but the red glow around it might be alittle difficult. If you can send it to me I can add it and rework it, and send it and see if it is possible.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Broin on May 13, 2006, 08:02:57 pm: Yeah I say let's try for that original feather that use to be posted on the front page... Don't think the glow will work the way Bell has explained it to me but maybe we can do a white feather or something.... Maybe high gloss silver feather?
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 13, 2006, 08:23:16 pm: ok here a few option for the type of metal used, please let me know what you would prefer.

Antique copper

Antique silver
(http://[img]http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a397/bellthazor/Antiquesilver.jpg)

Antique Brass

Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Lits on May 13, 2006, 10:02:50 pm: Antique Silver... it goes better with the FA theme colors.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Manic Velocity on May 13, 2006, 10:23:45 pm: Definitely silver.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Avzeke (Khr0n1k) on May 13, 2006, 10:43:45 pm: Silver!
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 13, 2006, 11:04:12 pm: I should have polled it :p
oh well...
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Styan on May 13, 2006, 11:32:04 pm: The silver is BA... (Bad Ass!)
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Broin on May 13, 2006, 11:57:47 pm: Yeah definatley the silver... I'm thinking silver color with the circle style that the antique bronze has... Then "The Furious Angels" centered at the top "followtheangel.org" centered at the bottom. FA symbol in the middle of the cirle. All on the front. Then the back the FA feather in the center with a slogan around the edge... Something like "Furious Since (Faction inception date)" or maybe something like "The Fury within The Matrix Online" Not the best slogan but an idea.

Or better yet how about keep it simple with the feather in the center and then maybe Matrix code of some sort... ?

Post by: Anonymous on May 14, 2006, 02:22:39 am: What no solid gold option? Man gotta have his bling.

Anyway, yeah silver guess though I like the third one meself. Maybe we should open a coin design contest?
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Anonymous on May 14, 2006, 05:13:18 am: Yes...Silver...I and I like simply "Officially Furious" on the back, that's pretty cool.

I would definitely purchase one (or perhaps more) of these. Totally bad-ass.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Ketamininja on May 14, 2006, 05:57:02 am: http://followtheangel.com/ is on the coin you have shown.
Should be followtheangel.org :p
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 14, 2006, 12:27:54 pm: If anyone has the original feather or has a feather that they think would work for the back please e-mail it to me jona431@gmail.com. I have been looking on google images, but have yet to find anything useable.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 24, 2006, 07:01:55 pm: ok, we've made the choice of style (Antique copper), now I need the slogan for the back. broin had some suggestions, but i need those plus a few extra. Once we have a a couple we'll vote on them. I am trying to have this and the voting done by next week if possible.

Also please post your slogan suggestions...as of now the only thing I have for the back is Furious Since across the top and 2004 on the bottom.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 25, 2006, 11:44:03 am: If you guys are also cool with "Furious Since 2004" let me know that as well. Thanks
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Manic Velocity on May 25, 2006, 01:22:47 pm: "Furious Since 2004" has my vote. Either that or "Follow the Angel", but I guess that's already on the front in the URL. I can't wait to buy one of these things!

Post by: Broin on May 26, 2006, 08:02:54 pm: LOL... I try... I really do
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 26, 2006, 10:44:06 pm: I'll give them a try over the weekend..we are going away Saturday into sunday...so I will work on it when I get back. I am assuming that we are no longer trying to get a slogan for the back...Please talk about it on ts and post here, so I know what I have to work the image around. Thanks everyone.

Very nice pics also Broin (thanks for helping him Lits)... :)

Post by: Lits on May 27, 2006, 02:47:43 am: Hey, that's what I do. :)
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Anonymous on May 27, 2006, 04:20:05 am: I still like just simply "Officially Furious" with no year or anything. But, that's just how I roll... *flashes gang signs*
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Anonymous on May 27, 2006, 04:35:43 am: Yeah I'm with Kayda. We didn't all join in 2004 so having the date on it would feel a bit weird...
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Bellthazor on May 30, 2006, 03:44:38 pm: ....Hello! any one around?.. :p

ok everyone, I need to get the slogans or statement we want on the back of the coin. So far I have Furious Since 2004, and Officially Furious.
I do understand why you do not want the Furious Since 2004 (change to Furious Angeles Est. 2004) Destyn, it does sound as if you have been FA since 04. I need a few more to see what we can fit and looks good. I believe we have alot of very talented people in FA that could come up with something great and just think it could your slogan/statement that will be on that coin.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Anamodiel on May 30, 2006, 07:08:18 pm: Officially Furious has my vote, even though I'm too constrained money-wise to buy one. :)
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Broin on May 30, 2006, 07:17:36 pm: I say "officialy Furious" around the top but there definatley... Definatley needs to be something else on the bottom. I say if no one can come up with another slogan then we go with Since 2004 since that was when the faction was founded.

Post by: Jeyk on May 30, 2006, 10:52:39 pm: Is there an option to purchase a stand or anything with it? I'm going to put it on my desk.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Pirus on May 30, 2006, 11:16:13 pm: Wings Spread to The Truth
Since 2004
or we can change it up a little and say something like

Following The Angel
Since 2004
If nothing else just go with officially furious since 2004
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Anonymous on May 31, 2006, 05:23:41 am: Why not "Officially" across the top and "Furious" across the bottom to get the coin a balanced spread of text on the back? I bet that would look exceptionally bad-ass.
Title: FA Collector Coin
Post by: Avzeke (Khr0n1k) on May 31, 2006, 12:20:53 pm: Offically furious

Since 2004

FTW
