Affordable way to identify an Intercotee

[ariel03]

I was wondering if we could come up with an affordable way that we could identify each other in the parks. I know there are shirts for sale but a few of us can be really tight on cash but still would like to be identified in the parks by other intercotees. We can still have resort meets but again we need a way to identify each other in the parks. So what are everyone's Ideas. What can everyone get that can be brought with us to the parks that says we are an intercotee.Needs to be something that can really stand out that someone normally may not have with them in the parks.

UPDATE: Look at post #14 for a pic of the keychain I made.

Great idea! Maybe those silicone bands like LiveStrong, etc.

Maybe make them Black and Red with Intercot embossed in them...

I was thinking something more noticeble. Something anyone can go out to a local store and get for cheap or something they could get or make for free.

I was just reading over in the 10th Anniversary section a similar thread.

Some kind of key chain thing seems like it might work. Attach to a backpack or belt loop. Maybe Intercot can work up a logo/printout template saying "I'm _screenname_ on Intercot. Look me up at www.intercot.com. Advertise and identify! Or just a blank space we can Sharpie in our screennames...

We can print/customize it, laminate it and attached it somewhere noticable...

That sounds like a good idea. Just need to get it into the works now!

At one sci-fi convention I went to they had a LiveJournal meetup and we all picked blue ribbon and tied a piece around our left wrist and thats how we knew each other, that would be a cheap easy way to do it.

[ariel03]

Thats a good idea too. Keep them coming once we got a few we can all decided on one.

I love the idea along the lines of the key chain/lamenat idea!

Even just some sort of lamenated "business card" size thing that says www.intercot.com in bright colors and attach that to a bag!!

For me I carry just a diaper bag so something along those lines would be perfect!!

I go all the time and wonder who from intercot might be there!!! I would love to know for sure!!

I wonder if JohnY or Carol could give us a 10th anniversary logo that we could download and printout about business card size in blue then we could put our screen names and www.intercot.com on the back, cut it out (business card size) and laminate. hole punch and string it to your bag.

On another board I belong to, they use the Disney paint chip from Home Depot in green. Couldn't Intercot use one in an agreed upon color? Maybe blue? Pooh's Umbrella?

I like the idea of the intercot logo on a business sized piece of paper and then put your screen name on the back. Either wear it on your lanyard or attach it to your bag. I think that's a GREAT idea!!

For the 10th Anniversary Party I plan on getting a cheap $3 tank top and getting those fabric lettering and putting Intercot.com and my screen name on the back.

I agree with these fabulous ideas. Honestly, during our minimeet in August, I didn't even notice John's Intercot tshirt. Duh, I'm sorry, I guess I just wasn't looking for a white shirt in a sea of light colors anyway. I did notice the female wearing the little tiny green dress that didn't even cover her unmentionables, her panties were showing, and NO they weren't spankies like cheering uniforms...They were underwear. Oops, sorry off topic.

I like the business card size, or maybe "Buttons" like the happy birthday or anniversary type, the downloadable card to laminate and hang on your bag (if you wear one) or wear it like a nametag or on a lanyard. Something bright and cheerful and easily recognizable.

C'mon JohnY, I know you can do this...look at what you have done with this site!! You rock. If I can't be at WDW, than I am at Intercot.

Since someone mentioned making a keychain for your bag I made this: http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/a...otTag001-1.jpg

I wrote member since 2003 cause I was a loyal reader before offically joining.
So keep an eye out for us.
We will be staying at POP Century Sept. 11th-18th.

At the same mini-meet as Kristen, the only reason that I noticed John's t-shirt at all is that I was specifically looking for someone in an Intercot t-shirt since he told me that's what he would be wearing. For the past 2 trips, I have worn my Intercot 5 year pin either on my lanyard or on one of my bags and not one person has mentioned it so I doubt that anyone noticed it. I also belong to "that other board" with the green mouse-head paint chips and have never noticed those in the parks either. Whatever we choose, people are still going to have to look for it and honestly, I don't pay attention!

[ariel03]

Need something that can be quite eye catching!

I was thinking the same thing while at the parks this week. Every time I heard someone talking about some hint we have picked up on Intercot, I wondered if they were a member and what their name was. I wanted to ask several people but didn't have the nerve. Don't know why. I kept thinking it would be nice to have a button or pin or something to wear to identify ourselves.

[ariel03]

I'm a bit shy but I think I would be able to talk to an intercotee.
I know alot of you are really nice so that is good to know when asking.
"Hi, you an intercot member?"

I think that keychain is so cute. How did u make it? I like that idea to attach it to a backpack.
