Mid Europe OLB badge

[Robert OB 33/48]

Gets my vote (even though I'm a European outsider )

Well, we all are Overland Bound, or not? So, your vote counts

Well @Michael if nobody says different, I think we should ask you what date is the latest to make, order and ship these to be in time for Christmas?

Thank you @Michael, I wished there were more people involved, but that is the choice everyone makes themselves.
So, the active persons made the call, so, that is ok then.
I hope it all works out, as we can do some shopping for Christmas then, haha.

@Corrie ,

I love it.
It is one of the most significant sceneries of Europe. And you just cant make it everybody right. So, as our scenery in the Netherlands is mostly water, I will go for this one.
Think we should make our Mid European Phrase the folowing;

Aint no Mountain high enough!

Thank you, when can I order?

Greetings from Robert

Thanks Corrie (and Greg). This looks really good, represents most of the mid european scenery perfectly.

Nice, but one remark, are'nt we missing the coast line ? Mid Europe for me stretches from the coastline up into the mountains?
But other than that, when can we order? The promo ends on 27/11/2017.

Point is, we cant put everything in one badge, it just doesnt work that way. So, the best way is to pick a famous scenery and that is it.
Actually the Matterhorn is world famous and is a one of a kind, even in the mountains.
Trying to put everything in one badge just wont work.
The you would have to put in dutch windmills, german beer krugs, french cheese/wine, belgium fried patatoes, and what so ever.
That would give a mess.
So, even as Iam dutch, I choose for a significant scenery above the more nationalistic aproach of our coastline.
And when so, The Matterhorn in Switzerland, is I think the most political neutral choice, as it is not in the EU, EEG, or whatever.
I dont mind what is on the badge, as long as we have a badge.
And if there is no Mid Europe badge coming up, I dont care at all, because the one badge that really matters is the Overland Bound badge.

Robert, I know we can't put everything on it, i was just giving my opinion. And as i stated abouve, the design is ok for me to.
Although 1 pint of beer schoud fit in. As a gimmik hidden somewhere. lol

 

[Robert OB 33/48]

hahahahaha. Thanks, it is just so hard to have everybody satisfied.

Hello @Michael and @Corrie ,

It would be great if we already could pre-order the region badges.
What do you think, will they be in time for Christmas?

Thanks for any info.
