This is the one I created for myself (There's only full size versions because it's too late to create thumbnails. I'll post those tomorrow.):

This is the template I made in both .psd (Photoshop 7) and .jpg:

Put your user/nickname in the blank space at the bottom. You should be able to use any graphics/image program to put your name at the bottom of the jpg one. Feel free to use/mod at will. If you want the original psd to take apart, or you just want it in a different format, pm me.

If anyone happens to make a badge, I will post it in the Defcon Unofficial FAQ Gallery. Just send me the link if you want it posted.

That's good, but be careful where nuts may end up.

i say, make a sticker and just stick in the middle of your badge or something. but i guess we have to plan it out 69 days in advance ;)

No sticker, just a T-shirt

My choice of avatar here was more or less random and I don't care to put it on my DC badge. I will be somewhat identifiable though because I plan on wearing a T-shirt with a dragon on it each day of the con, if anyone cares. (One of these days I'll have to hunt down a decent pic to use for my avatar.)

Actually, I think using the alien/electronics board as a background with the dual-suns/something-breaking-through-the-picture as an overlay would be cooler than both. Given the option of the two, I pick B...except I think that the alien is flipping me off in his own little alien way. :)

WTF??? My lack of interest in putting a sticker on my badge does not in any way mean that I think it's a bad idea for anyone else to do so. In fact, I think it's a cool idea and I'm impressed with some of the art work others have created for this purpose. I was just pointing out a slightly different way of identifying forum members. (I wonder how much it would cost to have a t-shirt made with one of those pics, anyway?)

If you have problems with what I said, PM me and let's work on fixing that problem instead of rejecting alternate views outright.

sarcasm, possibly?

Just to clarify for those who are curious, it's not meant to go ON your Defcon Badge, it's meant to be an extra badge, here is an example of Stitches Badge. It's meant to be its on seperate badge entirely.

post-whoring would be more like it

Thanks for the example, HighWiz. I admit I didn't realize we were talking about seperate badges. I believe someone (in another thread?) said something about putting their forum pic on the back of their DC badge. Hence my confusion.

A little research on the t-shirt idea indicates it is very do-able. Avery t-shirt transfer pages run $11/package for light t-shirts and about $18 for dark t-shirts. One of those, use of an inkjet printer, one t-shirt (your choice of color) and an iron appear to be all you need. Well, those and an image worth transferring to the shirt!
