basically an oversized wrist strap that goes round your neck.
I'll go for the lanyard with an id card as it gives people much more flexibility in terms of what clothes to wear

I suggest we rename it to Bob...Quote:

What about those plastic wrist band thingys?
We could make it half red and half purple and just have ozformers on it?
Also Keychains??? (possible the aussie matrix sign) Im not sure if its feasable tho never looked into that sorta thing.
I like it:DQuote:

Lanyards are small and discreet, but not many people wear them in public, so would be easy to spot without being 'overbearing' to what you are wearing to feel too weird wearing one. Still, whatever is attached to the lanyard, if anything, needs to be done tastefully to make people feel comfortable wearing it in public.
Lanyards. they could be either red or purple ;)
A t-shirt would make me feel like I'm at work or on a bowling team.
I should really go to the next meet up.
I don't recall recommending a pin - it's probably about as hard to spot as a keychain (probably harder), but I find lanyards are easier to spot than wristbands.Quote:

Also compare the stickers we used last Sunday with my Transformers wristwatch:
http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m...h_DPP_0020.jpg
I find the sticker is more visible, particularly from afar. During the fair I had several people ask me about the sticker (one person asked me if there was a Transformers convention happening somewhere nearby); so people were clearly noticing them. But people very seldomly notice that I wear a Transformers watch. You can see that watch in that shot because I'm deliberately holding it up, but otherwise it just wherever my wrist is, which usually isn't immediately visible (cos your wrists are usually hanging next to your thighs - and as attractive as my legs are, people still don't notice (probably because they're too busy perving on my sexy man legs*)).
The lanyard card would be roughly a similar size to that sticker. You can also use alligator clips to attach them to your clothes rather than have them dangling on a lanyard, like we had at last year's convention:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y22...mash2009_3.jpg
My card is obscured in this shot, but you can clearly see the card on kup's jacket.
When people look at me the first piece of TF apparel they notice is my shirt or hat. Secondly they might notice my belt if I'm wearing it. Then after that they might notice my shorts. The _last_ thing they notice is that I also wear a TF watch, and the majority of people don't notice this at all.

*they're only human. ;)
I vote lanyards.
Lanyards are a good idea, especially for conventions and fairs.
It makes people notice that there's something different about what you're wearing and then they see the name tag at the end.
I don't normally wear something around my neck but for those events I don't mind.

Also put the web address on the lower back and on both shoulders.
Don't forget i'm a fat bastard, i need a big shirt.
Well the shoulder stickers were rather good and subtle enough to not make you look like a total dweeb but still stand out. Maybe Nazi style arm bands would be good? :)
How about peaked caps to go with those armbands. :p
Now your talking! :DQuote:

Guys I need opinions on design for the id card that goes with the lanyards its so hard for me because i would like to design something that everyone would like?
You could have 2 designs make the card double sided so they have a choice of 2 IMO mock up some and see what everyone likes.Quote:
