Red Storm / Krupp Steel patch

[Have]

I'll open the discussion and thread for RS/KS scenario patch proposals. Calling all talented designers, show us your ideas!

[Brooke]

Yes, let's get some patch designs posted!

I have an issue with this scenario...

The NAME!

What do you call it?

I think most players that participated just called it by the name that fits their side (allied: red storm, axis: krupp steel). It's awfully long to include both parts of the name.

Especially on a patch with limited space!

You could probably fit "Red Storm / Krupp Steel" on a patch -- might need to leave off the word "scenario", as the name is longer, but maybe not.

Here are examples of past patch designs and how the words fit on the patch:

I still have a patch design for Coral Sea that I was last twittleing with about a month ago, so I might try finishing that up before starting an idea for Krupp Steel.

I agree with Krusty though on this scenario's patch, a shorter/simpler name would be ideal.

Oops.  I botched the link to other past patch designs, but corrected it above.

From the previous patch designs the Rangoon '42 is the best in my opinion.

The scenario name is highlighted a bit compared to the other text. The P-40 shape is very well made, large enough to be seen from distance, the contrast of colors is good and the red background is clear without any clutter. That is perhaps a perfect scenario patch! 

The Fire Over Malta is almost as good, but the black silhouette cannot compare to the nice P-40 in the Rangoon patch.

if it has a beheaded frog on it i'll take one  !

OK, who is going to put up a patch design?

Rangoon '42...The Fire Over Malta...
....the contrast of colors is good and the red background is clear without any clutter.

The common nominator with those 2 patches is the background. They are both made on a ready-made background of that color, whereas in others the background color is sown on the patch. It depends pretty much on the patch maker how the want to do the background. Sometimes they sow it sometimes not.

It might be helpful to know what colors they have available for them backgrounds without sewing

No one has a patch design?

I did not play in this one, so I cannot really relate to its events or spirit, but here is a quick idea for starters.... to get it going.

I don't like the iron cross being infront of the red star as if it is imposing upon it.   

[BlauK]

Well, you can imagine that the red star is stabbing it from behind
