I'l buy some for my family.
A good alternative to the potentially rusty, get-caught-on-things button badges, and less likey to get lost than dog tags etc
I like the idea of a reflective side - serves dual purpose
Thaks for organising

I have contacted a few plastics companies to see what is possible/affordable.
Once I have it worked out I will put up the plan and a methods to buy (via paypal)
will take a bit of time I am afraid.
(the reflective bit is looking unlikely -- like the idea though.

I will try to update next week with progress -- glad to hear people are keen on the idea.

Matt :)

Probably a bit of a dumb suggestion on my part. Would be easier just to add a piece of reflective tape if so desired.

Anyone have a 3d printer? I know its been a bit topical lately, but if someone has then maybe they can do some prototypes?

If I had a 3D printer it would be busy making other things...

I think it would make more sense to have a full sheet of the appropriate material printed and then cut out with a CNC router.

It doesn't matter if someone from outside the forum doesn't know what it means, and anyone who is a member will recognise it.
Believe it or not, I actually like the idea. Although I still think a tattoo is better. I'm definitely going to get one to celebrate my completion of the AAWT.
How much does a tat cost, anyway. . . ?

Colour coding is starting to sound good. One side of the tag should be red, as in "Danger! Danger!" - which can be open to interpretation... stay away/I'm grumpy/I haven't bathed in days/???
