Yes, I could. It's a matter of design. > And I don't think there is any value of having "Vilnuis, 7-12 July" on > the badge, it just adds clutter. Notice the small font size used for this text? The value of this is surely neglectable during the conference, but might increase quite soon after the event, just in case you keep these things around for a few years as some people do. I certainly do. > And unless it is planned to actually > have guards verifying that you have access and use them as proper > tickets or ID, then the photo is kinda pointless... I mean, the face > is available, on me. :) I can see multiple reasons in favour of having a photo on a badge. Here are some: - People can actually make use of their laptop cameras. - They can be used for some kind of website overview widgetry effect. - They help identify the badge during conference registration. - They help find the badge's owner when they get lost. - The physical face might change during the conference, so it's good having a reference. ;-) > Sticky labels will not work.

Can you elaborate on why sticky labels might not work? I agree, they might not look great after three days, but I guess this can be solved using the proper material. I'm not insisting on them, though (since it will be hard to find double-sided ones). I also noticed that badges turning around one's belly don't serve their purpose well.
