Lanyards are for keeps, but the nametag usually just gets thrown away. The biggest difficulty was actually in finding a supplier who will get us 3/4" wide lanyards for cheap at a small volume. Who would have guessed these one-time-use neck things cost so much! Even though the design was approved early, we couldn't find a reasonable supplier until a few months later and forgoing local Canadian distributers.
For the lanyard, I thought it would be fun to place the maple flag in the center. It gives it more of a graphic element to the whole piece. I also did some more serious looking ones just in case. The Olympics was a good visual resource for these. On the back of the neck is the Toronto cityscape, or a Canadian icon so when people are taking photos you'll still be able to see something if you're turned around.
For the nametags, there were originally four colour distributions for different levels of participants, staff, participant, venerable, and special guest. However, we boiled it down to just two for two colours: participants and staff. Special guests received a pin badge and a corsage instead.
