Thread: Buttons!!!

  1. #1

    Buttons!!!

    I took all the plasmid and tonic avatars from the downloads page and made them into 1 1/4" buttons! And I'm making them available to Cult of Rapture members for FREE! Just send a self-addressed stamped envelope to:


    Only one button per cult member so be sure to include your plasmid or tonic preference!

    Oh my.
    What about orders from abroad? I don't think the stamped envelope thing works in that context, but any way for me obtain one?
    Those are great. Really, they are.

    I don't see why it wouldn't work abroad. As far as I know, anything under 16oz. is considered a letter. Try asking someone at your local post office.

    I can do any of the the avatars from the Downloads page. Although the simpler designs tend to read better from a distance. I made a security bullseye button for my girlfriend and it's kinda hard to tell what it is. I'm happy to send whatever you request though. Cult members represent!

    I was more referring to the fact where I don't think your country will take my stamps for you to send the button with. Meh, I'll check with the post-office.

    Hey Heelflip, if I wanted more than just one, can I send you a donation or something? Lol. As far as getting the one you're offering, all I have to do is send the envelope but I'm still trying to decide which one I want. Lol.

    The response to the buttons has been pretty small so I guess I can up it to three per cult member.

    3 even better Im considering getting some, not sure which yet though. I dont suppose it would cost me that much to send them over from the UK couple of £ at most for airmail. I'll think about which ones i want

    again very nice of you to do this

    Whoa, whoa! I'm sorry if I misled you guys but, so far, all I have are the avatars from the downloads page here:
    http://www.2kgames.com/cultofrapture/downloads.html
    If someone can get some good screens of the rest I'd be happy to do those too but this is all I got.

    Good work! They're a bit small though. I'll have to fumble with photoshop for awhile and see if i can get 'em up to snuff.

    I'm sending my envelope today or tomorrow. I don't have a car anymore so I can't go to the mail. And the nearest Mail box is like, two miles away. Can't walk that far. (Well, I just don't WANT to walk. ) Lol.

    This is very nice of you, heelflip!

    I don't want to be greedy, but it sounds like you have plenty of buttons to move. If you have spares after others get theirs, would you be willing to sell a handful of different ones? I have an old Levi's jean jacket I wore in the 70's that is covered with buttons, and I'd love to add a bunch of BioShock ones. :-)

    I could pay or mail a small box with some stamps inside or Paypal or whatever. You can PM me or reply here. Thanks!

    I want to be clear that I am not selling 2k's intellectual property. I don't want to step in anything messy. Send envelopes and if I get a relatively small response, I'll re-extend the offer to everyone so you can get more.

    That is perfectly understandable. And commendable.

    It's not worth it for one button, so I'll pass. But thanks for doing this for the board.

    I was wondering could you do a pin of the little sister icon on my avatar?

    Those are really cool. Look exactly like the pictures. The wonders of computers...

    Sorry, I thought this thread had died. I haven't received any envelopes yet so I gave away the first batch of buttons at my favorite Gamestop store. I have materials to make many more though. As far as how I make them... I took all of the large versions (256 by 256) of the avatars and resized them in Photoshop. Then I just layed them all out on a proof sheet, printed it on my cheap little HP printer, cut them into 1&1/4" circles, and pressed them into buttons. The badge maker I use is a simple contraption I got here http://www.badgeaminit.com/

    The offer's still good though. If you don't want to send an envelope with your address on it, use someone else's or a work address or something.
