Vibe Keychain/Dog Tags

Post by zbyers »

I completely scratched the original idea for this as it fell through with the buyer. BUT!!!!!! Great news- I found a local laser engraving shop willing to make up some tags for us! Thanks to A Psycho Martyr for signing a release form allowing us to use his silhouettes for the tags.

The link is live. You can purchase them here: http://www.shop.dhdesigns.net/Vibe-Tag-0040.htm

Here is a sample of what they'll look like. The top is it's own tag and is one-sided. The bottom two images are on the same tag, front and back.

My mom and I would definitely be interested in key chains and / or dog tags (can always use a dog tag as a keychain too)!

Sweet! I plan on adding mine to my keys too.

I talked to the guy and he said it would have to be a pretty simple design (like a silhouette of the Vibes) and no two would turn out alike as he uses acid to etch them. He said he is going to look into it and see what he can make.

I got you added now.

Vibeenvy, here is a link to his template for the second gen. The frame is just a reference point for him. He did say actual size may vary for it to fit the tag.

Are those tags above copper? Will these be copper? I have no interest in the rubbery ones but I do love copper.

They will be copper. He said that names are not possible unless it's four letters as it will not maintain a clean image. If people wanted a name, we could simply do "Vibe."

As of now, no. Based on the one I have here (VW verison) it feels that double sided would make it too thin.

Well, final edit. The styles are listed in the original post. So, if you're interested, PayPal me the money for it and your address by the end of the day Friday (8/7/15) and I'll get the info to him so we can get them made.

For those interested, the original artist backed out as they couldn't "perfect" it. However, I did find someone who will laser engrave them. Checkout the original post! Thanks.

I am working with a new artist to get these made. I should have everything finalized very soon! Once it's finalized, I'll be posting the info for it.

Thanks for keeping us updated Zack! When everything is set, I'll be ordering two one-sided tags in black with the Vibe logo for my mom and I!

Sorry for the hiatus. It took much longer organizing this than it should have. Here is the link to the Vibe tags. Only first gens, for now. For those interested in a second gen, you can contact the company and they should be able to work them out.
