Guys,
A couple of the WVDXA members have contacted me over the past year or so about getting club badges like we had made a few years back using the "logo" design I created.  Actually, I was never really satisfied with the design because I didn't feel like the color scheme gave enough contrast for the text to stand out.  The company that made the badges for us back then apparently went out of business. However, Bob WA8VPN recently contacted another printer who advertises in QST.  He is:
Gene Harlan - WB9MMM
Name Tags by Gene
Harlan Technologies - publisher of Amateur Television Quarterly
http://www.hampubs.com

I have been working with Gene for the past week or so trying to come up with some different ideas.  The main thing that was a problem for the old badge was that I used a gray background (like in sample #1).  I have been able to change the design using a white background but asked Gene to try a few different combinations of colors and the images.  Actually, he doesn't care what design anyone uses because his process is a direct printing process from an image file, unlike a screen print that requires a set-up template.  We can get a discount if we have so many orders but the max I believe he will charge is $12 per badge.  See his website to confirm.  I haven't been talking price with him actually.  Oh, and we can modify the ARRL DXCC Pin image on the badge to read whatever you'd like including however many number of entities you'd like to have printed on there.  Impress everyone at Dayton next year and have "390" printed on.  W8UV may even want his to indicate 6-meter DXCC.  Whatever you want is no problem.

But I would like to know how many of you might be interested in ordering from Gene so we can see what kind of discount may be available.  I know WA8VPN and W8IW want a badge.  

Oh, to see the samples....  http://www.w8hc.com/wvdxa/wvdxabadges.htm

If anyone has another idea for a design, please feel free to email it to Gene.  He is great to work with and eager to get our business.

His web address is above and it includes all information necessary.
