Re: From Bill's Blog: Merits of replacing bronze participation medals
I would personally like to see a patch instead of a pin.
This could be a really nice patch with the current game logo and lots of color and could be very visually appealing.
This would be accompanied by a inverted arch patch that would be unique for each regional and for CMP... So you could wear the patch, and below it you could show the regional(s) you attended...
This would be great for a blanket or a jacket... and for putting in a scrap book.
There is another reason to switch away from the bronze medallions.
That would be trying to make FIRST more green...the amount of energy in creating and shipping those medals is pretty large so along with money savings we could also save some energy and become that much greener.
In the annual report, it is stated that FIRST awards 50,000 medals a year.
At $5 each in cost that would be $250,000. That is the minimum cost to run an entire regional.....
sorry about the image examples... just things I could find on the web.
although the dog inverted arches might be appropriate...lol
thanks
