Submission 1
Submitted on 3/29/10

Design Information:
* cheese look or coloring
* UW red
* “On, Wiscsonsin” send-up
* forest (or Packers) green for the wooded areas, plus the trees
* asterisks on both sides could be stars or snowflakes --
could be some kind of gem-look or metalic rather than colored
* partial compass rose: sun rising in the east, spreading over Wisconsin -- both N and W points shown to indicate the coordinates we use (but no N or W shown) could think of it as the populated areas
* either use the cheese coloring or else have it the gold-looking metal with the holey cheese “terrain”
* coin outline edged in metal or something dark
* design parts: color enamel, edged in dark or metal
* shrink the “trackable” area, no white
* use the darker red, darker green colors[/b]

Submission 4
Submitted on 4/7/10

Front:

Back:

Design Information:
The front of the coin will be like the hand drawing with the alterations of:
- the lakes and rivers will be metal raised through the enamel, like in the computer model
- the compass rose will include a circle like in the computer and clay model
- the sun area will be textured with a clear coat as shown in the clay model
- and the writing across the state could either be raised metal through enamel, or it could be dark blue enamel like in the drawing and computer models
- the Green will be like a "Packer" green, the gold is metal not enamel
- Wisc Geo Assoc will be imprinted and not raised
- 2010 is raised metal through enamel
- the compass rose is raised above the enamel with a clear coat for "texture" in the coin

The back of the coin will most closely resemble the hand drawing with the exceptions of:
- Deet Me! will either be raised metal in the enamel or blue enamel like the drawing or computer model
- Trackable at Geocaching.com will be imprinted
- The area opposite the sun on the back will be the moon and if costs are not too great, it will be glow in the dark enamel
- The tracking number oval will be raised flat metal
- The bug spray will be raised metal to slightly curve above the enamel to create texture
- The "state bird" will more closely resemble the computer model in raised metal
- The "person" will most closely resemble the hand drawing in raised metal
