Looks good. One other suggestion is:

Have one like the Join or Die but instead of the cut up rattle snake flag sunstitute the Don't Tread on Me Flag.

Yeah, planned on something like you described. Thanks!

Another one with A-Tacs camo background.

Good stuff man. Wish I remembered how to do all that stuff from high school. It was pretty fun.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #8 on:** December 23, 2011, 09:20:42 AM »

How about a button or bumper sticker that reads:

TSA = 21st Century Gestapo
...with the background being the "Don't tread on me flag."

Don't forget to drop these images on your online friends so that they can find us and check out the site.

I want a sticker that says "ACLU in Hell!"

Attn: Patch Whores....

Been toying around with artwork for a SP patch. Could add color, but thought I'd keep it black and white for the time being. Anyone know a patch-maker? Anyone interested in a SP patch? Maybe all profits (if any) could go to the hosting bill of the forum or some other noble cause? Comments appreciated, thanks.

That patch is bad.. I'll talk to the lady this weekend!

hjmoosejaw · « **Reply #12 on:** March 21, 2013, 08:18:50 AM »

Pretty cool patch. I'd buy one. How hard is it to toy around with the artwork? This patch is cool. I just figured if you could come up with different ideas. We could take a poll or something.

crudos · « **Reply #13 on:** March 21, 2013, 10:14:46 AM »

It's fairly easy to manipulate the artwork at this point. Just need to find the time to sit down without distractions to get some more variations going. If other people want to come up with their own patch, that's cool too. This particular idea had been sitting on my desktop in pieces for more than 6 months before it got to this point. I'm not the official graphic designer of the site or anything, just trying to help out with whatever my skills allow for.

While it would be interesting to see any ideas, If this this was the only patch I view, I think it more than works. It's a really cool patch, and like I said, I would buy one. Great job crudos!

Thanks for the comments everyone. I've tweaked it and fixed some spelling errors a few times since I first posted it.

Possible hat patch design....

thatGirl · « **Reply #18 on:** March 27, 2013, 09:52:38 PM »

Good work Crudos!!! I'm thinkin' pink and black or a little pink bow on the skull for the girls [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

Maybe some Reaver's Rangers patches are in order too

I could throw in some pink in either design. Will work something up next time I take a peek at the files.

Haven't had much spare time to do much research on patch making companies and the possible cost involved.

We have a doughnut shop in our town and the lady that owns it also has an embroidery business. We'll find out how much she'd charge for some patches. Any excuse to swing by the doughnut shop...

crudos · « **Reply #21 on:** April 02, 2013, 08:09:25 AM »

Thanks for checking on your end. Apparently there are also PVC, IR, Hi Viz in addition to regular embroidered patches, all of which I am slowly learning about and their uses. Being a printing geek and working in the printing industry, I find these new processes fascinating. Will keep the thread updated as I learn more.

JohnyMac · « **Reply #22 on:** April 02, 2013, 08:57:06 AM »

Patiently waiting for the first patches to roll off the assembly line in RI.

crudos · « **Reply #23 on:** April 02, 2013, 04:41:43 PM »

I am in contact with Combat Swag as a patch maker, from recommendations by the folks at Monderno.com. Seems like soft PVC is the way to go, and still retain detail of the design. Hoping to get pricing later today or tomorrow to everyone. Minimum quantity is 50. Looks like we can add some color too. Any suggestions welcomed. I generally like the current designs, but need to make a few tweaks here and there based on the patch maker recommendations. If enough people are interested and TG agrees, then we can move forward. Would have to work out logistics of monies, etc. Probably start out with one of the designs and see how that goes. I would be okay getting the final design to the patch maker, and then having the TG family have full control of the design and ordering them from that point on, just as long as I get artistic credit. My main drive for this was as a way to help the forum with any hosting costs, or whatever TG sees fit to use it for. I've learned a hell of a lot in my short time here, and this is my way to give something back to the community.

crudos · « **Reply #24 on:** April 03, 2013, 01:10:07 PM »

Here's the pricing, which includes any set-up fees, but NOT shipping.

We'll quote you PVC on these, as we are moving away from embroidered altogether -- plus this would be better with the detail. Min order is 50 pieces.

For the 3x2: (hat patch)
50- $6.75
100- $4.95
250- $2.85
500- $1.95

And for the larger: (shoulder/bag patch)
50- $7.10
100- $5.20
250- $3.00
500- $2.15

That price will get you a 2D/3D soft PVC patch of up to 5 colors with Velcro hook backing.
