Looking for feedback from AC attendees

[tugrik]

Neither Revar nor I went to Anthrocon this year, but many of our products from Monoceros Media did! We're a fabrication and prototyping shop that does large-format printing, fine art printing and laser engraving work. These were all done on contract either for artists attending AC or for AC directly:

• Super-sponsor hex badges, 1/8" glowy acrylic
  
  
• Fursuiter badges, 1/8" glowy acrylic
  
  
• Masquerade badges, 1/4" clear acrlic
  
  
• "Fur in Black" badges (product by Cooner), 1/4" clear acrylic
  (Check over here for more info)
  
• Fine-art prints for 14 different artists. This includes prints at tables, art show entries and custom sales
  
• Table-banners for a few different groups
  
• 42" x 70" giant posters for the dances at Anthrocon
  

Did you go to Anthrocon? If you did and you saw any of these items in person, I'd love to hear your opinion of them. What worked? What could be better?

I'm especially interested to find any pictures of the dance posters hanging up, to see how the size worked vs. the venue location. I'm also dying to see if the glowy-acrylic badges worked under the black-lights and such. This is why I'm eagerly watching LJ, Twitter and other feeds for posts of videos from the dances. :)

Reading my friends' reports so far it sounds like it was the best AC yet, which makes me smile quite a lot. I'm glad we could help with the little details like this. If you have any interest in products like this for your own events, conventions or other projects, please, don't hesitate to ask. You can reach me at tugrik@gmail.com. Thanks again!

i love the idea with the clear badge! however i was thinking more of a regular badge of my char etched into one of these. then having a small led to iluminate to etched areas. by doing this, the badge will be suttle and pretty in the light, blut glow awesome to the led color you want for raves and itll be easy to read. if you like the idea and if possible, id make a negative design for the etching so send ya. i just dont have a lazer etcher. lemme know what you think! maybe the future of badges for cons to come!

We're working on a design for a small, affordable illuminator, yes. :)

I'm always glad to do custom badges if you have the art. As they are individually fabricated on the laser, I can do singles or big quantities, no worries.
