Time to start designing the DGS patch.

Fencer, seems based no the banners done for DGS that you've got lots of graphics.  You want to go for a patch design?

I may take a stab at this one, and offer up a design for consideration.

Hello, all.

We should get some patch designs rolling, so if folks have ideas and are willing to post them here, let's give it a go.  If we can get some designs posted and see what people think.

Brooke,
You might use this opportunity to mention the patch fund and how to contribute to it.

You mean like the JG300 emblem? I had the same thought.

Something like.... this?




If you want to tinker, here's the zipped .PSD file:

Mod. B?

Maybe add map outline of Germany behind the bomber and make the B17 drawing from an angle where it is easier to recognize?

Maybe old idea but small "balkenkreuz" and US roundel to the opposite sides of patch between the text lines too?

I'm not sure of the idea of the sight being a Revi, maybe gives too much emphasis on targeting the B17. With such a neutral sight you are free to interpret it either way -the target being the bombers OR the country.

But I already like the first draft.

Try it out for yourselves! The PSD file has the blue, the crosshairs, and the bomber all on different layers. Just sandwich whatever you want between the blue and the crosshairs.


I like the JG300 emblem, because 190A8s carried it, and the 190A8s played a big role (apparently, I missed it all), and yet the emblem still symbolizes the heart of what took place in the event.

I would think "yes," because they work with solid colors, and you can only have so many colors total. You can trace the outline and draw your own B-17 based on that image, and that might work.
