Hi,
Just as a loud thought (not sure if anyone ask this before as I couldn't found this searching the forum) but what about plastic version of your qualification?
I mean when you get your nr on VCP exam it stays with you (isn't it?) so why not provide plastic card similar to "credit card"... but with your picture and all fancy graphics from VMware and your precious # so you can show at any occasion...
What do you think and why haven't this been implemented so far... Maybe there is something to hold back this idea which I am not aware of...
Please feel free to comment as you feel is appropriate, but i would like to get here an definite Yes/No backed by facts from VMware guys if possible 
As always curious,
M.F.
