I was going to try to hack together medals for bronze, silver, gold, and platinum grand champions but figured you guys might be better at it.

Here’s the task – Create four medals for those titles, best set of four wins.

Here’s what the AKC medals look like…

www.akc.org/press-center/news/akc-grand-champion-program-adds-achievement-levels/

Here’s a logo file for Showdog (2.6 mb), use as you see fit…

www.showdog.com/temp/Logo.psd

Award: $100 real money, $5,000 SD money, or free one year family subscription (pick one, your choice)

Oh I'm trying!

OMG !! What a fantastic opportunity for those Showdoggers with design flair.

I'm so excited about this whole post! I"m excited we're getting levels of GCH and I'm excited that some lucky SD'er will win this fantastic prize!
It won't be me as I have no time or much artistic talent, but way to go Jeff! So awesome

THANKS for implementing this Jeff! I have no design talent, but hope you get lots of folks submitting options!

Darn... my computer is down, along with my graphics prgram! I am trying to run a family account from my smartphone. Oh well...good luck to all who submit thier badges.

I don't have a laptop and I made these on my phone. I'm not very happy with them but here goes.

These were made using free clipart. I picked them because the leaves matched the anniversary badges.

I think they are great. Well done, especially as you did them on your phone!

Thank you mournebrake. I have an Android so there is a ton of apps available but none with the capabilities of something like Adobe or any of the computer programs.

My phone sends texts and you can take/make calls, that's all !! It's from the ark !!

Hold on...trying to remember how to post photos!

Thanks for adding this feature Jeff, and it's awesome to give the community an opportunity like this! ^^ I probably won't have the time to participate unfortunately, but I wish all who do the best of luck; looking good guys.

*Edited to reflect recent deign changes

I gave it a whack
I decided I wanted it to resemble the AKC medals more than being unique, although they do have differences such as the surrounding crest. I also do not know when SD began.... could you tell me the year and I can put it there?

I love the coloured rosettes!! So bright - would show up great on the dogs pages just wonder if the main 'ribbon colour' could be changed to reflect the award ie bronze/silver/gold/platinum, with the 'thin ribbon' line SD green

Thank you Treestand Kennel! I added the date as well as the "gold/silver/bronze/platinum" to the medals.

These are vector, so they can be made to any size where needed.

Hi, just a quickie - you've got an extra E in FOUNDEDE on the medals. They are lovely by the way.

LOL!! Thanks! Edited to show the corrections

Admin - does this contest have a closing date?
