I like edit 4 the best.

What are other folks thinking? You guys like it? Are we done with design?

So far, the patch fund has $139 in it thanks to many generous people so far. We need to get it up to about $250 for a patch run for Husky. Once the patch design is done, I'll use it as the basis for an e-mail to people about the patch and the patch fund.

Unfortunately when I have these visions in my head, I usually lack the skill to bring them to life as I saw them. As such it's changed very much from the original concept. If anybody else has their own visions, then please share them with us!

This isn't official! This isn't final! Don't just think "Aw, somebody else is doing one" because there is no limit on how many can be done.

I wanted to type this in case my work on a patch design was stifling somebody else with better skills/inspiration.

I by no means wish to take over or replace any previous designs. I'll just throw in a few modification ideas based on Krusty's designs.

I also like no4 best from those four, but IMHO, the elements in it seem quite equal and thus they compete with each other. Here are some quick ideas to put some elements into main role and others to background... (also the IT sign is edited to equal size with the AM one

)

I really like the Idea of the C patch Blauk posted. Brooke can you PM me your number again, I have lost it and need to give you a call.

Krusty · « **Reply #33 on:** July 16, 2007, 09:44:34 AM »

I also like "C." That's a nice take on the original idea (planes coming in on the island, water in the background).

I can send you a .PSD file with my layers if you want better control over everything. Let me know if you want it.

BlauK · « **Reply #34 on:** July 16, 2007, 02:08:27 PM »

Krusty, I can try to kind of modify and finalize the details of your ideas, if you want me to.
However, those ones above were simply an attempt to help you forwards.

I am ok with either way.. your decision

If I am to finalize it, I will want your opinion and acceptance of the details before publishing it here ... so you cannot slip out of the responsibility of the design

I like "C" as well

TY for putting it together!

SALUTE!

Sorry about the lack of an update. I've been busy at work. Will try to get another one done this weekend (perhaps finalize it?)

I like C , but i think the planes need to be bigger to give them more distinction when it gets shrunk down to the 2-2 1/4 inch size.

Whatever design is decided upon is fine with me. The creativity you gents have is remarkable.

Of course when the patches are out I would like one please.

McDeath · « **Reply #39 on:** July 29, 2007, 10:30:02 PM »

I'm liking the "C" modification also. I agree with rosco that something needs to be done with the planes.

With the island in perspective, perhaps instead of just the profiles we could have the two planes almost crossing each other in an overhead perspective view, (nose down, front quarter view) filling the sky above the roundels.

Brooke · « **Reply #40 on:** August 12, 2007, 02:49:08 PM »

Is C the final choice?

We are at $152.82 in the patch fund. Once we get to about $250, I'll start the patch-run process.

Krusty · « **Reply #42 on:** August 31, 2007, 01:16:04 PM »

I haven't had any free time to work on it. I like that last C option.

I don't know if it would help any, but it might be nice to have lines in the water like a globe has (longitude and lattitude) to better show how the sea is round.

Then again, that might not look so good.

As-is, I like C, but think the "2007" is too small to show up properly. Easy enough to fix.

YEP C GOT MY VOTE

Time to shoot the designers and give the project to the makers, unless we add a couple of bombers which were there too and TBM'S, maybe an aircraft carrier ETC. and on and on.

I do agree with you on the date-- should be larger.

Just fun'n, I can see a lot of work has already gone into the patch and I (newbee), appreciate the hours and talent you have spent in the designing of the patch. Operation Husky was my first senario,and admitedly am hooked.
