Of course. I'll turn over all approved final designs. The files will be Illustrator EPS's (vector art) - I can also save them as FreeHand files as well... whatever the vendor creating the patches needs. I may be creating the designs, but ultimately they are for the charter. Which means that I'm only the artist - they belong to the charter. So not handing them over would only make me a middle man for producing any material desired to promote the charter.

I realize that some artists work this way, but in my professional opinion: if the person, or group, the work is for is planning on handling the production of the finished goods, then there is no need for me to hang on to the files... It only makes things more difficult. Of course I'll keep a copy of the files for my personal records, and in case you ever need another copy, but once the designs are approved, and I hand them over they're yours. I'll also be happy to apply Photoshop modifications (like the beveling applied the two designs thus far) for use on the website it you need it.

Thanks for the clear up Mike. Trying to be as professional as I can here and not step on any toes work/design wise.

So far about 10% of the patches have been sold and I'm very pleased with the responce people. Again thanks to all and Mike, many thanks once again!!!

Great Work

I Like the First One with the earth but they all good.

OK here you go. I think I'm pretty much set with my ideas now. I've included two new designs as well as the two previous (both of which have very minor modifications).

I tried adding the URL to the designs, but it looked too cramped, I even tried moving some of the elements around to accommodate, but it looked forced and crowded.

As always - let me know your thoughts.

I have to run to work now so I'll have to keep this short...

<span style="font-size:x-large;]WOW

I think your right with the url making it kinda cramped
Maybe a seperate rocker patch would work with that.

Excellent work Mike. People lets open the floor to your thoughts please.

I really think the yellow eagle outline with the missiles is fantastic. Where did you get that idea?
APC I can see is from the Tecch Manual and would be perfect for an APC crew patch (maybe one day)
Excellent work once again Mike, lets see which ones people want more.

Hmm, guess no one has any thoughts. Too much beer on Spring Break <lol>

I think the ATAW patch is still my fav I really like the yellow eagle clutching the missles as well.

Kudos to tonyandcherie for the idea & Thedus for coming up with those awesome designs!

It's tough to have to chose just one. Dagnabbit!

I have reasons for liking ALL 4 of them. However, if forced to pick just one, I'd have to go with the ATAW! / Dropship patch. 2nd choice? I think the APC "Grrr!" one.

They are all sweet but those 2 are my instinctual favorites.

I gotta go re-read my e-mails from tonyandcherie. Are we taking orders for these? I'm up for one of each. Cost?

"Oh, you want some of this, too?!"

Hey Jason

You should have got details in the Charter mail I sent out
However yes I'm taking orders, need 50 min to make an order and they are currently $10 each.

I'm really hoping to get these done guys, I want em' as much as you as I'm sure Mike does too.

I like the ATAW for the Charter Logo. It seems the most "Global" of the logos, if you know what I mean.

As for the "Eagle with missles" logo, I'd like to see the text re-written to represent a dropship crew/unit. IMHO I think it would be awesome for a new dropship crew. Heck I like them all!

Agreed Alex.

I think it would be great to have a patch for Infantry, Dropship Crew and APc Crew, maybe one day

I still like the ATAW patch.

Count me in for one of each

Thanks guys.

I think I'll post a quick thread in the 'Read Line' incase others don't check here. But I'll make sure they reply here as I know Tony likes to keep Charter business in here.
[img]http://www.colonialmarines.net/sigban1.jpg[/img]

One of each please.

Cool, 19 patches sold in total - pretty good.

I'll take two of each.

Thanks guys, more that order closer we are to actually getting these done.

...I've been out of the loop for a while and haven't been on the boards in the past month. I'm glad to see the designs are so well received.

To be perfectly honest I saw this one as being just that as I was designing it. It was heavily inspired by some of my father's patches from Vietnam - as was the flaming dropship design - (he was in the Air Force stationed in Thailand from '70 to '71). I have no problems modifying it to be a DS crew patch. The same goes for the APC patch should that one not be a Charter design.

Tony - let me know when you want the original art for any of these and I'll e-mail it to you in whatever format your patch guy needs - they are currently Adobe Illustrator files.

Will do Mike, in talks right now!! Thanks

OK, apologies for being out of the loop here guys.
On the Charter ID's, as well as pimping out the Crystal Plaques.

OK, as of now we have about 20 of each design on order.
The min order in the US I can find is 50 per patch - we're not reaching that.
HOWEVER I have another source who can do them, out of country. If we go with the out of country manufacturer we can do this. So I'm in talks and trying to sort this out.

I'd like to thank Jesse and Noeland for their time and help in finding someone to make these, I'm just sorry we couldn't make the min order. But we can still get these done.
I'll have some spares on hand so if we have 20 of each I'll get 30 done and use them afterwards.

So final call here on Patch Design 1 and 2...............if anyone wants them please speak now or wait until I get them in and try and grab the last few? <lol>

Also to be safe can everyone who wants one please just repost which one they want out of design 1 and 2 and how many they want, thanks. This just gives me an idea of final numbers. I'll mail if you don't post to be on the safe side.
