It's 3/4 inch thick, very comfortable to wear. The logo is stitched, so it won't wear off.

ChrisMan287 · 12-20-2008, 07:01 PM

Man I would love 1 of those in Black and Gold.

scarface4522 · 12-20-2008, 08:05 PM

id probably buy one if someone made these.

Ahmad_1290 · 12-20-2008, 08:09 PM

I could get myself into some trouble though right? Wouldn't the owner or founder of the org have to sell those..

You could probably do it with his or her permission.

scarface4522 · 12-20-2008, 08:11 PM

MROTH · 12-20-2008, 08:12 PM

He wants 1 that says Maxima.org on it or something like that.

Thanatos · 12-20-2008, 08:48 PM

I have that same lanyard from fleebay on my Nikon instead of the gay original Nikon one.

Thanatos · 12-20-2008, 08:49 PM

I would buy three of them if they had the .org on em.

black_maxed95 · 12-20-2008, 08:58 PM

I have one that says "MAXIMA.ORG - MAXUS 2008" and its attached nicely to my keys.

...guess where I got it.

These things can get a bit pricey. My friend was in charge in making these for his employer. Cost was around $200 with the minimum of a 100 orders. It was pretty fancy cuz' the letters and symbols are embroidered. Of course everyone got em' for free.

*ThurzNite* · 12-20-2008, 10:57 PM

How much are people willing to pay?

T Keck · 12-21-2008, 07:21 AM

i'd def be in for one, i'd pay like 5-10 ish, but make sure they are good ones, i had one from when i was a photographer covering the AST dew tour in orlando (it's like the x game) and when i put my keys on it i had broken it in less then a week haha, a good clip is a must

I would pay $7 shipped if it was embroidered and had a nice metal clip and it was the style of the one in post #1, the style in post #10 is F'n ugly.

The one i got from maxus was printed, and the letters are wearing off in places.

jrflores · 12-21-2008, 09:29 AM

I would pay no more than $10 shipped for one like in post #1

Thanatos · 12-21-2008, 10:37 AM

At least $10.

*ThurzNite* · 12-21-2008, 11:05 AM

When you said 'printed' on there, I'm guessing you mean silk-screen?

How thick do you guys want them?
3/8"
5/8" <-- this's standard width
3/4"
1"

Standard length is about 36" around. How low it hangs on your chest/abs depends how thick your neck and chest is, obviously.

What color cloth, and what color font/logo?

Do you want generic font, or font like this website, or font like Nissan's. Or logo?

Ahmad_1290 · 12-21-2008, 11:54 AM

I say Black with grayish silver letters..

Ahmad_1290 · 12-21-2008, 11:57 AM

Oh and if this does work out and somebody makes them.. Dont i get a free one.. cuz i did come up with the idea right?

scarface4522 · 12-21-2008, 11:59 AM

id say standard length and width, and black with gray or white lettering

jrflores · 12-21-2008, 12:01 PM

i think 3/4 would be best. i like black w/ silver also

T Keck · 12-21-2008, 02:27 PM

yeah, black w/ silver all standard sounds good, make sure the clasps are good though

are you gona put the maxima.org logo like it is on the decals someone sold?

*ThurzNite* · 12-21-2008, 03:45 PM

black fabric, and somehow grey/silver lettering, got it.

As for the .org logo... I dunno... I'm looking at the banner up there and the "THE HOME FOR MAXIMA ENTHUSIASTS" will be super tiny on there. It might not even be legible.

But if it just says "MAXIMA.ORG", I dunno, I think it's kinda lame... if I saw someone with that, I would think they bought it at one of those mall cart/vendors that make custom embroidered hats and license plates... screams CHEEZY to me.

So, if we go for a logo, which doesn't cost any more than just text (heck, we can do logo and text), what logo shall we use. Anybody here good with Photoshop and can whip up something not too detailed, using a silver color with black background?

Ahmad_1290 · 12-21-2008, 03:57 PM

Wouldn't the Nissan emblem look good on it.

Agreed, but I'll probably get some 10 page letter from their lawyer demanding 50% of the gross. LOL. Ok, I'll call corporate tomorrow. See what's up.

you could do what i saw kicker did for their promo lanyards, they have the kicker logo and their slogan, livin' loud, alternating, so it says
Kicker Livin' loud Kicker Livin' loud Kicker Livin' loud Kicker

we could do someting similar, like with the home for maxima enthusiasts alternating

*ThurzNite* · 12-21-2008, 05:18 PM

Well, I was thinking of the idea of 2 sides... 1 side would say "MAXIMA.ORG", and the back would say "Home for Maxima enthusiasts" in a slightly smaller font, so it would emphasize "MAXIMA.ORG"

If Nissan will OK my use of their Logo, I'd alternate text and logo.

Also, I'm looking at basic lanyards like the one in the first post...

I see that detachable lanyards like the Nismo one posted above is sorta popular. Of course, the detachable will cost more, and I don't know how durable those plastic clasps are. Any thoughts/opinions on detachable lanyards?

Dr J

Majestic Ken · 12-21-2008, 06:01 PM

if so then just make all colors instead of just plain old black. maybe like navy blue/white lettering or white w/red or black lettering

*rxm6* · 12-21-2008, 06:27 PM

I would love one of these, provided the clasp was strong enough. I carry about 2 pounds of metal with me at all times, and I need a strong clasp.

I've had this one for 6 years.

*ThurzNite* · 12-21-2008, 06:32 PM

In my opinion, the weakest link is that darn swivel point. I guess yours is holding up. I'm shooting for something like a carabiner, and no swivel joint.

T Keck · 12-21-2008, 07:27 PM

that would be great, having broken my fair share of lanyards i can say that they all seem to break differnt, i've broken some at the swivel and some at the clasp so you really need a combo of the two, a carabiner sounds great though!

Ahmad_1290 · 12-22-2008, 09:13 AM

I think it should be a basic one like the one in the first post. That way you don't have to worry about it breaking

yamahaman88 · 12-22-2008, 09:39 AM

Can you have just one mockup made with the colors so we can see it? Defffffinitly a carabiner.
