CONvergence Badge Art: #CVG2010
I’m counting down to CONvergence 2012 on July 5-8 this year, and sharing some highlights from past year’s badge art that I’ve done for the convention.
The CONvergence 2010 theme was Bring on the Bad Guys, a celebration of villains that saw Connie’s slightly evil sister Connie Mark 2 take over the convention. This was a goldmine for artwork ideas, and I tried to give a lot of the graphics a fascist, propaganda poster edge, while still having a fun, CONvergence flavor.
Stewie from Family Guy seemed like the obvious choice for the 5 & Under Badge.
The evil alien kids from Village of the Damned made for a creepy badge for the 6-12 crowd.
And the teens got Red Mist from the newly released Kick Ass.
And a row of menacing Mark 2’s adorned the Adult Badge.
Who else would be on the Exec Badge that year but Mark 2 herself?
And the Service Animal Badge that year saw the evil Mirror Universe version of Connie’s dog Sparky.
In 2010 we eliminated having separate badges for members of the Board of Directors, and we just got our own ConCom Badges. It was a good call. All hail Mark 2!
Mark 2 was overthrown by Closing Ceremony, of course, and all was right with the con once again. But Mark 2 plots her return to power from her new role in ConSuite. Who thought letter her near the food was a good idea?
If you’re coming to #CVG2012 be sure to look me up! I’ll be doing two signings and on a bunch of panels.
