For a while now, Foursquare has enjoyed something of a meteoric rise in popularity among the gadget headed, internet craving individuals of this nation. And while the frigging movie Valentine’s Day has its own Foursquare badge and page, the entire city of Baltimore ain’t got no badges of its own (although, the Baltimore Sun has a page). Which is why I decided to sit down, fire up some 3rd grade Photoshop skillz and make a few badges for Charm City, as inspired by MMMcDermott’s 6 Foursquare badges that should exist. Enjoy!
Orioles Magic: You’re either a glutton for punishment, or a season ticket holder! This is your 5th checkin at an Orioles game.
Hipster Scum: You’re unemployed, but hey, at least you’ve got that trust fund check and PBR! (attained by checkins at venues tagged “hipster” a la Golden West)
WTF is that thing??: Yeah, we don’t know either. This is your first checkin at Penn Station!
Bodymore: Keep earning that pension! This is your 5th checkin at the scene of a homicide.
You’ve Got Crabs: Baltimore does one thing incredibly well, and that’s steamed crabs! This is your 3rd time eating them! *
MORE COMING SOON (maybe)!!
Every small business needs to sign up to Foursquare and encourage their customers to CHECK IN!
I think we should use the crab badge as the official logo of Foursquare Day Baltimore!
