Anyone have any picture I.D.s ?
Were any of these ID's actually seen on screen? I've watched every episode and can't recall seeing any 5-0 ID cards at all. Caplan, do you have any screen caps or reference material?
It was the lack of any reference material that led me to use a standard military ID as the basis for mine. All of the individual elements came from google.
The biggest reason I ended up making my own (other than I love police badge/ID props and playing with Photoshop) is that the ebay-style cards just look silly to me. The wording is redundant, the layout is really awkward and it seems confused about being an ID or a warrant card.
I really hope any actual production props aren't that poorly designed.
I'm pretty sure there was an ID card seen in the old show, i've got a photo somewhere (have to find it).Because there wasn't one in the old show either, just a business card as far as I know of...
It was actually the 60s business card I pulled the "officer in charge" title off of. I like that better than "Special Investigator of the Special Investigative Unit." That doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, does it?
I am going with the old style badge, since I'm not going to let the one panel that's slightly different between the old and new versions keep me from actually having a badge. I'm usually picky about my badge replicas, but not this time.
