Patch Poll 3.0 - Plz vote or comment!

So here I am again looking for some opinions on my patch WIPs and now the placement of the UCI and how you like the text I have chosen or if you have another that you think would work better.

Remember this is suppose to be a Steampunk-ish designed patch. And is suppose to have the feel of an olde (yep old with a 'e' if ya know what I mean) map or parchment or a book.

First up is the idea that sprang from my head and after working up the patch and trying this element out I just today decided that it was not going to work. Its a little bit to modern and doesn't meld well with the patches. I might try to fool around with it more free hand with pencil and try to get it working better with the new font and design. ...but for now it is scrapped pending a re-engineering (with similar format that is).



Am I the only one that feels that the above is similar to what a University emblem would look like? Hmmm.... I think it is. Thus to modern. *le sigh* I really like this idea. Oh well.



On to some examples of the final patches and the wording on them. Remember that the circle ones are going to be a circle patch (just on square 'paper' for ease of working with them). The half circle one will be a rectangle patch.

Design one (1) examples:

A simple design which would work well transiting to a patch.




Design two (2) examples:

More complex and I just like this one more. Very eye grabbing in my POV. (Yes Craig I know you think that is it to complex but I will try it anyway and see what the company says lol.)






Design three (3) examples:

The half patch or rectangular patch. Kinda fun might be made side project while working with the full ones. I dunno if I will get this done but might in the future but vote on it any way plz.





^ALL THE DESIGNS ABOVE ARE JUST EXAMPLES OF THE TEXT PLACEMENT^



Now onto the text placement options. I have lines in red shades place on the WIP patches with numbers next to the line. I would like you to give me the patch you like and the number line that you think the text would look good on.

EXAMPLE: I like patch 'A' and line 3!

If there is not a line on the place that you think the text looks best then say something like:

...I think it the text would work best and look good next to line 3!


Patch 'A'


Patch 'B'


Patch 'C'



Like last time plz leave comments on your ideas or your rants. All verbiage is going in to see how these are received and in working to improve them more.

Yes I'm odd, we have established this as well as my never growing up ^_^ MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yay and your done (...if you voted or commented that is >.>)!

GEEKing = F-U-N!

+ = <3

Okay I admit it! I never grew up... Yeppers I'm a kid at heart and love it that way.

Toys rox, games rox, mods (modifications) to toys rox, ripping things apart, painting things, and just being a general goof and kid ROX HARD CORE!

That bit about "When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." (First Corinthians 13:11) was not meant for adults and toys.

>.>

<.<

No lightening ^_^ okay we are good lol.



So anyway I have been fascinated by the ingenuity of the people that make Steampunk mods (if you don't know what the Hell I'm talking about google or wiki it!) and just their creativity they put into their gear and drawings! As a person that wants to or would love to work in the conceptional part of the gaming/movie etc business it really peaks my creativity.

Anyway as I was googling Steampunk stuff I came across a whole other sub genre to this area. It is people that mod Nerf guns for either Steampunk or other cons (conventions) and get togethers or just for the fun of it.

One person that does this coined a neat term for it "Nerfsmiths" ^_^

Anyway I thought that I would share some of the Nerf mods that I found on DA just so you can get a look at them.


My fav Nerf gun to mod the "Maveric"




Second fav the "Longshot"



And a few other cool Nerf gun mods...


Yeah I know it is odd and so am I for digging it but hey it is no odder then people paintballing or Airsoft guns.

Speaking of war games with paint and plastic pellets, there are people that have war games with Nerf guns! They call it "Nerf Wars" lol. Well that is a dull name but it gets the point across does it not.

Sounds kinda fun if you ask me!

Okay you can all lower those cocked eyebrows and go back to your normal lives now ^_^
