nykfan845 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 They looked like they were accidentally left to melt in the furnace. Don't like the warped look. Like the strap, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceNarcissus Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 They aren't warped. All of the design and engraving was done straight-on to the shaped medals by a laser so that when viewed directly the images don't bend with the waves. Look at the 360 mint viewer to see the effect. There is a difference between texture and warping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nykfan845 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I didn't say they were actually warped, LOL. I didn't like the warped look of the "waves". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canucks4ever Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 Just realising something cool.... something I havent taught before....... The coolest thing about the fact every medals is different it's the fact every athletes winning multiple medals is going to have different medals to shown... I can only see now the journalist asking the athlete "witch one is your favorite medals". I'm really surprise dough of the blue ribbon.... I was really expecting the look of the games.... but the ribbon still look gr8. Hope a few of our athletes will win multiple medals.... that could be so amazing but most likely to happen in speed skating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
