Engraved (quite eternal) logo, navy blue color (which matches the ImmInst website color):
http://allegro.pl/it...eklama_50x.html
250 pens = 655 PLN = $218 (135 GBP). Plus shipping & handling.
Here you can see better photos, but there are no navy blue pens:
http://allegro.pl/it...s_promocja.html
4 sets for 126 PLN each + one set for free, making it 250 pens for 504 PLN, which is about $168 (or 104 GBP).
I talked to brokenportal yesterday and he agreed to sponsor them on behalf of ImmInst.
So I made some logos for the pen.
The logo would be 65x6 mm, so smaller that what you can see on the screen below.
(The original files are all .png and very large, I am posting previews for you to choose which one would you like most.)

Once I have the pens in my hands and can see the quality, I ask both sellers about the price for 250 pens.
The first logo on the pen would look like this:

My bad for not noticing this topic more swiftly, but it would be great if we could have the URL on there too. I realise that people at the conference will invariably know the URL, but it's about exposure. People can be encouraged to leave their pens with people who are likely to come visit
Perhaps when ordering the larger run of pens?

Thank youPens are great merchandising items. Good idea.
Engravement on the other side will cost about half a dollar each pen.My bad for not noticing this topic more swiftly, but it would be great if we could have the URL on there too.

What could we add there, besides the URL? Any ideas?

What I would do now is ask David and or Sven if they want you to move this to a vote, then start a vote in the votes and important issues section. The vote has to be seconded by the chairperson first, so stipulate that. Then hopefully we can vote this in so we can have them for the conference.

For their other side, LongeCity would have been nice if we had been sufficiently rapid to establish the link between ImmInst and Longecity by now.
Also just throwing an non-finalized idea: some sort of electronic calendar for longevity-science&lobbying events. I'm not very familiar with electronic gadgets, but perhaps someone here is familiar (e.g. someone from Asia) and if this gadget exists it could be the common gadget hold by everyone interested in the cause.LongeCty it is the city of people acting towards longeVity: a common place where everyone has a role, leading to skyscraper-like life-extensions. Grouping the various life-extending tribes (like imminst), unifying forces towards longer lives, in perhaps a more industrialized manner. City is a symbol for crowd, activity, technology and progress.

Think adding the website URL would be nice too so the people can find this website more easier.
In my opinion that is enough text, because the pen will be too full with it...

As to the electronic gadgets, could you please post an URL to something you have in mind (or similar)?...just throwing an non-finalized idea: some sort of electronic calendar for longevity-science&lobbying events.
I decided to use simply ImmInst.org and nothing more, exactly as JML suggested below, only I did it some days ago :P
The color is different though.
The pens looks great and i like the color you have used ( blue is one of my favorite colors.)Think adding the website URL would be nice too so the people can find this website more easier.In my opinion that is enough text, because the pen will be too full with it...
brokenportal (or someone who has the gadgets):
Have you sent some ImmInst gadgets to Brussels?
I have never been to an ImmInst Conference, but I imagine there could be a stand with ImmInst (and immortality&longevity-related) stuff: books (not necessarily to sell - just to show to people; however if someone can sell them and it is legal, would be best) and other things, whatever you have available - anything people can touch and possibly take home. Better something they will use not at home. So not a clock or fridge magnet - something they will show to other people.
If they have not been sent yet, please do it soon, as the parcel will need some time to be delivered (what about customs?).

If by "Chairperson" you mean of the conference organisation committee, that's me, and I would rather it be done, and done sooner rather than later, with the maximum haste and minimum bureaucracy (ie, if it can be done without a vote, great, if not, please vote it in, thanks).
brokenportal 09 Sep 2010
If you havent been granted funding for this kind of stuff, then I would rather we make this quick too, but you may just have to go through a vote for it.

We have $4k funding from the Institute and the conference will probably not break even due to high expenses. I will pick up the financial slack. Since I am paying, please just do it.
That will probably speed things up. Thanks!
Agent, if someone hasn't had the go-ahead to do this in the next hour please just send me the details so I can order them.
Thank you.

All: It's been brought to my attention that my last post might have been a little brusque in tone. Please kindly overlook this. If I am terse, it is only because I'm endeavouring to crank out many messages in response to lots of people in a very short period of time; brevity sometimes confers sharpness that is in fact only intended as functionality. Assistance with these sorts of endeavours, such as that being given by those who are giving it, is greatly appreciated.

Paid by me, yes.Agent: Great, thanks! Paid by whom, you? Are you being reimbursed already? If not, naturally I'll reimburse you if someone isn't already.
No, someone isn't
Thank you

Thank you!Nice, looks great.
That would be really very good for promoting the idea of life extension.Looking at these I think I might buy a bunch of similar promotional items here soon to keep on hand.
Glad you like themThe pens look great and the calendars are a perfect idea really. They are small, not a business card, iconic, are informative and look nice.
