I like the idea of a 3/4 view like JohnWPB show above [...] since the production years are already on the front of the coin, I don't see that repeating it on the back side is necessary.

The above is just to show a Fiero on the coin. It looked empty, so I threw the date on there LOL. This is NOT a prototype of a geocoin in any way, just showing what it could look like with a Fiero on it .

If the answer is no, what is plan B? For example couldn't the pegasus be used without the outlining shield and it would not be a "copy"?

Good news ladies and gentlemen! The next Fiero coin will be completely new, both sides. If we are going to do this, lets do it right.
I just received word back from Joe at EMI and we will need the artwork to be approved first but its not a problem.

Lets create a wish list of things that each of us want to have on the coin:

-Exact production beginning and ending dates

-Car art. (If we do this I want both a notchy and a fastback on the same coin, possibly one on each side).

-I would like to have at least 4 colors if not 5 on the new side(s) of the coin. (Keep in mind that each color needs to be in a recessed area, kind of like coloring inside of the lines)

This is the first entirely new Fiero geocoin since the project began. Lets create something amazing. If you are interested in what is possible as far as our production capablilities go please take a moment to look at some of the sample coins from our manufacturer. Note the varioous color choices and edge design options.

Just like in the first project, whomever can come up with the the artwork that we decide on gets a free coin. I will give one for the front and one for the back of the coin.

Right now we are not taking orders. I will start a new thread for that after our artwork is approved.

If you are an artist this is your chance to create something amazing.

Edit:
I'm posting this so that you can see an example of the detail that is available to us.

That is good news! I love the idea of a Fiero on the coin, but on both sides, would leave no place for the logo or other artwork. I wonder if both could be put on one side.... "parked" at different angles or something.

Sweet!

This is exciting! Does this mean we could change the shape too if we really wanted to? Once we get a list together of what we want I can draw some ideas up

I would like to keep it the same size as the others but a beveled edge would be cool.

If I pencil sketched an idea would someone be willing to photo shop it for me?

My work schedule has just opened up and I will be able to devote some serious time to getting this moving. I'd like to have a final design by April 1 so that we can start taking coin requests.

I'd like to do the same edge that this coin has.
