$.50 per pencil seems too pricey for all color to be practical for us. So your idea is good and I prefer the gloss green as well. I think the black of the logo would stand out nicely against the green.

The color logo is obviously more attractive, but you have to pay for each different color in the imprint, so using it on the pencils would take the cost up to almost $.50 cents a pencil. Here's the sample my contact sent me (http://www.shepenco.com/ClientProductDetails.asp?action=1&ProductID=6&Category=1&HCatid=1). I suggest using the black and white logo, but then picking a color of pencil that is found in the logo. "Gloss green" or "teal blue" might be the closest we can get, but would look good with the logo in all white on them. (I'd lean toward the green, personally...)

The price seems reasonable to me too.

I also asked him to provide a black and white version, as it will be much less expensive to print a black and white logo on a pencil than to pay for all of the colors of the other one. Let me know if you're happy with the new ones, and if you are, we'll be good to go! I also checked in with the guy I used to do business with for PR materials to see what pencils would cost. The price for 1000-2000 pencils would be between $.13 and $.145 cents each. So for 2000 pencils it would be about $260 - $290, plus a small one-time fee for the imprint (not per item, in other words).
