Hard working startup guys heh! David: great nametag design. I would have to agree with Dan Safer: the first name of the person should be big, big, big then who they work for. I can never remember the first name of half of the people I meet but I know exactly how they look like (that's why I am in the visual search space!) so if I can glance at their name tag and get their first name I can avoid making an idiot out of myself again! Looking good. @Ian Bell: “Men at work” are you kidding? Hard working startup guys heh!

"F" really has no intrinsic visual meaning and so therefore is empty space on the badge. The "Men At Work" icon is also a bit of a tip of the hat to us hard-working startup guys.
