How about if you meet one you dont like, you take their picture and post it here asking for cc and re-edits?

As a long time pin collector (800+) I'm naturally drawn to the idea, however the logistics of designing, manufacturing, buying the wholesale lot, and then managing the sale and distribution to interested members will be no easy chore. Admin will obviously need to be involved to some extent, either by managing sales through the site (a job Admin may not wish to take on), or by granting a member the rights and means for sale and distribution through the site (thus opening the door to problems with a number of members wanting similar rights to sell other UHH related merchandise for their individual profit).
I'd love an UHH pin, but making such available may be a bigger problem than anyone would be willing to take on.

.... I personally would be willing to pay say 20 bucks for a pin that says I'm a "hogger" member. What does the rest to this world wide community think about this.
Thanks, PhotoPhred

A cute hedgehog pin sounds fine to me.
It may even elicit some conversation with another photographer, but other interpretations are far more likely.
However, I suggest you AVOID the use of the word "hogger."
Gamers will think you are really good at the online World of Warcraft game.
Perverts may immediately go to hogger's more sleazy definition.

I prefer "Hedgehog". Cute, ugly or otherwise.

I think it could be great for recruiting new members. You go to your photogroup, someone asks about your pin you can tell them about the hog. As for design, I picture a hedgehog in a biker jacket riding a Harley. ( no rice burner for good ol hedgey!)
as for the bbut kicking, I am afraid I would break his fist by constanly hitting it with my jaw

We don't need no stinking badges.
If they can't see my tiny micro four thirds camera, they're not observant enough to call themselves photographers.

Not $20, not 20 cents; not even free.

Sounds interesting.
So I'm on vacation and I see some guy taking pictures of gators. I notice the hog pin and introduce myself. What an awesome moment for me!

I'm on vacation and see some guy taking pictures. As I walk by I notice the hog pin and introduce myself. We find out that that we often clashed in the small-talk forum and I remember I always promised myself I'd kick his ass if I ever met him in person....

I never thought about that possibility. Maybe we should leave well enough alone.
Thanks to all for the interesting replies.
