I wondered what that looked like too when i saw the option. did you ever see anything?

 

I opted for Deep Badge and this is what I received.

I not entirely sure the difference, tbh. 
 
Thought it was a hologram on the side of the case or something.  It should say on the website. 
 
If it's on the side, I'm an idiot and missed it completely. I'll check after work.

From the site:

Visually Stunning, Canyon Drive Technologies has provided Wata Games with “Deep”, a new array technology that created true three dimensional depth into a two dimensional composite based product. One side of the sheet contains an array of tiny spherical lenses, borrowing from nature’s honeycomb design. This unique design results in a 99.9% fill factor, previously unachievable in any lens array graphic arts material. A wide variety of specially prepared patterns can be printed on the reverse side of the sheet, where the lenses magnify the patterns to create outstanding 3D depth, motion, and color-shifting effects. Interlacing can also be used to create dramatic 3D “integral” imagery.



Canyon Drive Technologies integrates Deep into a variety of labels and badges, usually with the Flow that you see Wata’s grade printed on, to create visually striking security products that cannot be duplicated with traditional copying technologies or mechanisms. It is a subtle, yet extraordinary, second step that make labels and badges truly one of a kind and impossible to recreate.

Rather than classifying it as a prototype, they chose to classify it as "genuine". 

I'm not sure they know exactly what it is, but they know that it wasn't made in my garage.

I legitimately thought it was like a Genesis designation when I first opened it up haha.

Interesting. Are they making a distinction between a prototype and internal sample? What is that difference, that game being finished? I'm not super versed in prototypes, I would basically call anything like a prototype.

I wondered the same thing.  I’d also like some clarification!

It’s tough to show in pics since it’s a hologram on the side of the case, but here you are. First is without. Second is with. 

No Deep Badge
Dat Deep Badge

You know what’s funny? I opted for it on Ice Climber. It was the first game I ever submitted. I knew it got a high enough grade but for the life of me I couldn’t find the “Deep Badge” and I was too embarrassed to ask where it was. Then one day I was like I’m gonna find this thing and like 6 months later I found it. Lol.

No problem. I really like it. In person it has great dimension. I opt for it all the time now.
