Possibly the card can have a short....I mean very short history bit of Tiki Central, "Tiki Central was created by Hanford Lemoore in 2000 to create a forum for celebrating classic and modern Polynesian pop. January 12, 2020 will be the 20th Anniversary. Tiki Central has been your Online Ohana for 20 years and is Open 24 Hours. Visit http://www.tikicentral.com for more info." ...or...something to that effect. I think Hanford co-founded it (right?) so, we should probably have his co-founder on the card as well? These would be good clarifications with Hanford himself. *** * I just found the reference from Hanford's message for the turnover of Admin from Hakalugi to MadDogMike. He stated that he and Jennifer Thompson created the site in 2000 as a Yahoo Forum * ***....and yes, I just learned how to do bold lettering on TC. Could you maybe also do a version of the pin that looks like the forum logo? Just to see how that might look? I would be very curious if the enamel can be used to give it the light green line around the lettering, so that it looks kinda like the neon :) You mentioned that the enamel needs the edges of metal and said that there could be colored metal......can you check to see if the metal can be colored only in certain areas? If so....then you could color the metal only around the edges of the Tiki Central words, with the enamel in the center, to give it the looks of the neon? I also like the alternate logo that you have, from the swizzle top, and maybe add the Open 24 Hours, below the Tiki Central words, with the wood board on the right hand side that has 20 years. I have another question, and I know this is diving into some finicky details, but, as I have collected several pins, I would like to ask you what the difference would be to add a second backing post? Some pins that only have one post spin around too easily, or, depending on where the post is, the pin doesn't stay put, and sits funny on your hat, lapel, etc. If we did a long pin like the forum logo above, it would be great to have a backing post on both sides.....if we do a pin like the square alternate logo, it could probably be ok with one post, depending on the size. Thanks again PinTiki for helping out !!! :) It is great to be able to discuss with someone who has first hand knowledge of everything it takes to actually make pins !!
