I used PS6 to do this patch.  The problem with the text is the 'Circular text' feature is not available unless you have CS3 or 4 I think...  I had to warp the text and yes it sux...  I have CS4 at home, just haven't had anytime to work on this in a couple days. 

We've got plenty of time.  Here's the PSD file for anyone who has photoshop to play with.

Just remember to give credit where it's due, as this was a p.i.t.a. to create (but fun too :)

Honestly, I think that's a LOT of red and white stripes running into each other. I liked it when there was the buffer (matter of fact I liked it when I thought there was a beige stripe behind the text) to break up the stripes just a little. Might also consider a narrow ring/border at the edge, again just to break up the stripes a tad, like your third option Fencer

I really like the last one Fencer.  Very nice sir!  :aok :aok



Though it probably wouldn't show on the patch, I would magic wand-select all the red in the Japanese Flag and and solidify the color.

As Krusty mentioned, that's a lot of red/white running together.  It's a great patch, but what if the ship went edge to edge and the flags were on top/bottom with the ship separating them?  That would add some separation.  Just an idea, I am no good at making these things. :)

I agree with Krusty, needs a border in middle, a part from that, it is great. Creative and well though out.

Krusty's patch feels more "military" like a unit patch.

If I could fit every plane we flew on their, it would be so... I just picked the most distinctive Bomber/fighter combo for both sides.

How would a gold braid (line) look as a flag border down the center? American flags do bear them at times..

What ever BMathis wants done either he or I can modify his design.  Lemme know.

I think it would be too busy if we put something down the middle...  Fencer, I'm slammed at work, and don't have our latest PSD file to mess with it anyway.
