This is the first time I've heard of these. I guess these are less expensive to make than geocoins? Is it someone local who started this?

I'm not trying to be commerical, just answering a question. They were started by a member of the group that does the geocoin club as a less expensive option to geocoins. They are on sale right now, until 1/15/07. I we're working on one, nothing final.

There are two artists that are very good at pathtag art.

http://www.madhattersneverland.com/ , and his name is Jamie. He has designed more than a dozen tags

The other is of course Rusty, but you have to get him at:

http://personalgeocoins.com/

I've also heard that Team Lareau (Brian), out of Michigan, is a graphic designer. He already has four different pathtag designs, and they are pretty nifty. You just have to look up his Gc.com profile, and tell him I sent ya.

If you download photoshop, there's a template to do your own. If mine comes out well, I may volunteer...

If you're having trouble getting artwork from Madhatter of Fox and the Hound, I would shoot a note to Vicky (honeychile). She's been very quick and does great work. I would be cautious in trying to have Rusty do your artwork unless he's doing a coin, too. His workload is pretty heavy already.

I have a mini FAQ in the works over at http://www.COGeocaching.org in the Travelers section. My #1 recommendation is to go to the pros though. It makes a huge difference.

I don't intend this to be commercial either, but from this past weekend it would appear that NWO has really taken Pathtags on as a major sig item.

I have just created a Pathtag album here at NWOGEO display your Pathtags, as part of our Sig Item gallery category.

If you do not see your Pathtag displayed within a day or so, remind an Administrator here, as the approval request notification of gallery posts is not too prominent for us.
