The Gold

Is it really necessary to put the "LLC" after "GenCon" on the awards? It's just an abbreviation ("Limited Liability Corporation" or something like that) for how GenCon was incorporated, isn't it?

To me, it really detracts from the medal. But, if GenCon, L.L.C. insists, I suppose you're stuck with it.

It should either be "Gen Con & EN World" or "Gen Con LLC & EN World Ltd". The latter looks ugly, in my opinion.

I like the general look, though. Where does the image of the woman come from? Can we actually use it?

Ok, drop the LLC (GC never requested it, I just thought I'd put it in).

The image of the woman is taken from the painting "Miranda" by Sir Francis Dicksee. The painting was done in the 19th century, the artist has be dead for over 100 years so I think I can confidently say that there is no copyright to infringe.

BTW, Any thoughts on the slogan "Celebrating Excellence in Gaming" on the medal? I'd like to see it placed on the trophies too and be the motto for the awards
