Ribbons!

Hey, folks—the summer convention season is kicking off, and that means it's time to return to our fannish roots and celebrate with geeky bling. I mean, of course, BADGE RIBBONS. Because nothing says "love" like pieces of fabric that you can stick to yourself. (Some people say that badge ribbons are totally over. I say that these are people who never played Halloweentown fairy princess when they were kids. We shall love our accessories until we die.)

So what do you think I should put on ribbons for this year? Suggest anything you like, from the silly to the sublime, and we'll see where things wind up going. Suggest a ribbon that I actually make, and I'll send you one, even if you're not attending the convention (first person to suggest the ribbon only, please). Keep in mind that we're trying to drum up interest and attract attention, but should still make a vague amount of sense while we're doing it.

Game on!

A biohazard symbol and some red/green LEDs.
Unfortunately, this is way, way beyond my "words on fabric" ribbon capabilities.
White back ground red letters

FEED

"Bite the blog that feeds you"

"When will you rise?"

"Speaking epidemiologically, bubonic plague doesn't make sense to me."

"Pretty Little Dead Girl"
Hey George, check this out!
I kind of like the RSS symbol ala icon above. Just that.

"When will you rise?" wasn't a foregone conclusion?
How about "Wicked Girl"?
I survived the Zombie Apocalypse ask me how!
LOL Loving this one!!
Chained Lightning Programmer

I Speak Epidemiologically

Ryman for President

My Story Is Not Done

Lost in the Babylon Wood
Can I second the suggestions already used above? (Newsie, Irwin, Fictional, and When will you rise?)

I do have a couple of other suggestions, though:

Faerie Is Real
Changling

Also, randomly, what company do you order your ribbons with? I want to have some made for Dragon*Con, and I could use some good recommendations. Thanks in advance!

"Ryman for President!" (Am I really the first to suggest that?)
Ah, no, someone got in before I hit post.

Anyway, I has red it an it iz gud! Although how on earth you are going to follow that ending beats me, but you will (or have already, depending what state the sequel is in at the moment)...
"Go Ask the Luidaeg"
"Team Tybalt"
"Cut Grass and Copper" (on a green ribbon with copper text, bien sur)
"An Artificial Night: 07/09/10"

"CDC Investigator"
"Irwins: We Poke it With a Stick"
"Newsies: Just the Facts"
"Fictionals: We Make it Interesting"
And maybe a ribbon for Stewarts. Obviously, I gotta soft spot for them.

I'd really like just about any of the FEED ribbons mentioned on this page with (and I know this costs more, but still) the blood-dripping RSS symbol. Or maybe a ribbon that's JUST the RSS. <3 I don't know if that sort of thing is allowed. Probably a non-dripping RSS would be just fine.

Speaking of costing more, I think some of the ribbon places have red, white, and blue ribbons, which makes me want a patriotic Ryman For President ribbon.
"Stewarts: Laughter is the Best Medicine"
"Stewarts: Let a Smile Be Your Antiviral"
"Stewarts: Because Truth is Stranger than Fiction"

"Fictionals: Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty"
"Fictionals: ...I'm sorry, were you saying something?"

Don't piss off the Changeling.

A white ribbon with red text reading Fed and a bite taken out of it

Magic Hates the Daystar (or The Daystar Hates Magic, whichever appeals)

Needs to Drink Like a Fish

Dude, where'd I leave my car?

Give a girl a ride sounds good, but given how innuendo-filled most cons are is probably not a good idea. Maybe Give a Dead Girl a Ride?
