http://www.blogcdn.com/www.wowinsider.com/media/2009/05/blizzconbadgespart2.jpgDanielle "Shyka" Brown is back again (http://community.livejournal.com/worldofwarcraft/7826173.html), and making custom art badges of your character (http://blizzconplease.blogspot.com/) to put in your BlizzCon lanyard. We covered her last year (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/08/28/fan-offers-custom-made-blizzcon-badges/) before the convention, and so if you're headed to BlizzCon and want to put a little custom memento of what your character looks like, now's the time to order them. She's starting a little earlier, so they're a bit cheaper, only $30 per badge, but any orders after June 16th will go up to $40 because presumably she'll be in crunch time. The good news is that since the last set of BlizzCon ticket sales are on May 30th (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/05/05/blizzcon-2009-tickets-on-sale-may-16-for-125/), you should know for sure by then whether you're going or not.

And as you can see from the pictures at left, the quality of her work is pretty darn good -- there's a whole collection of her work (http://blizzconplease.blogspot.com/2008/10/badges-ho.html) from last year over on the blog, and it would be neat to have any of those hanging from your neck at BlizzCon.

If past years are any indication, Blizzard will definitely put your character's name somewhere on your ID badge for the convention (and they've also asked for your faction affiliation and/or class in the past, so those may make an appearance as well). But this is something a little extra, especially if you're planning to meet up with in-game friends or guildies (or attend the sure-to-be-awesome WoW Insider bash (http://www.wowinsider.com/2008/10/10/blizzcon-2008-wow-insiders-second-annual-blizzcon-reader-meetu/), which we'll be having on Thursday night yet again), to identify yourself on the convention floor.http://www.wowinsider.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://www.wowinsider.com)BlizzCon badges are back (http://www.wowinsider.com/2009/05/12/blizzcon-badges-are-back/) originally appeared on WoW Insider (http://www.wowinsider.com) on Tue, 12 May 2009 17:00:00 EST.
