The monthly tasks were more fun when we had special badges designed for each specific task.

It seems like there are so many good artists here, who can work so quickly, that someone could make those for us if only they were willing, and perhaps bribed.

I haven't asked Seeker about this, but maybe whoever volunteers to do the badges for the next month could learn about the tasks early, by having access to the Task of the Month Club thread, where the new tasks are discussed and decided upon. That way they could have the badges ready in time for the new month, and also they would get a head-start on the next month's task, a huge advantage...that's so tempting, isn't it? Maybe also a special thank-you post could be made in that thread, giving the artist the credit that they deserve, and further inspiring people when they see the beautiful badges they will be trying to earn. How can you pass up this wonderful opportunity? Assuming Seeker agrees, that is.

Think of the glory! Your work preserved for posterity, in the form of a prestigious Badge of the Month! The respect, admiration, and envy of your fellow DVers!

(Come on, I know it would take some of you like 2 seconds to do it! It doesn't have to be a masterpiece, just a little drawing.)
