IFAP - Let's Make This Fucking Patch Already! - General

So the idea has been thrown around a few dozen times, we even got as far as making concepts but as with most Facepunch endeavors it quickly descended into in-fighting and everyone lost interest. Well, I'm willing to put money in, I'm sure others are. We can donate money to whoever decides to make them after we come up with a logo. What do we have so far? We're tossing around the concepts of; North East / West Coast IFAP patches Combat IFAP patches with Arabic writing (Like many patches currently in circulation among armed forces) The basic red and white Facepunch Logo I'll post whatever concepts we come up with on the OP and we can gauge the reception of each.

What does the Arabic say?

It would be cool to have an circular embroidered patch of just the facepunch logo face. And maybe just have IFAP embroidered over it.

[QUOTE=deathmog;26045458]What font did you use? I looked for something similar and mine feels too compressed.[/QUOTE] Helvetica, iirc. Can't actually remember, I might still have the .psd lying around. [QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;26045462]What does the Arabic say?[/QUOTE] Facepunch

gah what the fuck does anyone have a vector version of the facepunch logo?

Deathmog's one looks good. Just replace the writing in the bottom.

[QUOTE=L_Dawg;26045823]Deathmog's one looks good. Just replace the writing in the bottom.[/QUOTE] That was a joke I threw in, i'm putting a much more serious one up soon

I think people will get the wrong idea if I walk onto the field with a patch saying "IFAP", not exactly a patch I'd wear and have to explain everytime I go to a game.

But it's an inside joke. Why explain?

I deal with stupid kids asking me stupid questions on a daily basis when I go to games, one less question makes life that much easier on me.

ender has a point

True. I forgot about the kids.

I don't give a shit. IFAP.

Would be a little bit more funny if we put hot girl's names underneath. IFAP Megan Fox It's an example, don't judge me.

I like the IFAP.

Can't we just put the full name under IFAP? Like how I did in my logo? People will just read it and be like "oh"

If I made an IFAP patch, underneath it, I'd put BACN. If you can't decipher BACN, then I have lost faith in you.

We could, just put the full name underneath IFAP. Shit, I don't even remember what that stands for.

Ah, right. Wonder how much it'd cost.

I thought it was $125 for 25. And we have roughly that amount of members.

Hm, I actually remember trying to get a quote for a patch. I'll see if I can scrounge up the email. I actually want like, two or three of the patches, once we decide on a design.

I'd want multiple ones depending on how much each costs.

[quote]And for patch sizes under 6" x 6" (or equivalent) the minimum order quantity is 25. I see I offered to do 20 before and I'll do it again: Qty. 20 - 49 @ $4.90 Qty. 50 - 74 @ $3.20 Qty. 75 - 99 @ $2.50 Qty. 100 - 149 @ $1.90 PRICE INCLUDES all set-up work, a sample made and a scan e-mailed for final approval, and complete production upon approval. No charge for corrections or minor changes at any time before final approval. BACKING UPGRADE: You might want to consider adding either the PVC or Fibercloth backing option to stiffen the crest and help prevent wrinkling etc. and keep it laying flat. We generally recommend this for embroidered crests 3" or larger, or woven crests of any size. Either one would add $0.12 per crest to the above prices for this size. I've attached a photo of these, and for more info please see: [url]www.proimagecrest.ca/backing[/url] PRICE MATCH: I can promise you that the quality of our work and our customer service is among the best in the industry. But because it's difficult to prove that until you buy from us, we also offer a price-match policy. If you get a lower quote, please let me know and let us get you a better product for the same or better price. [url]www.proimagecrest.ca/guarantee[/url] SHIPPING: Standard Shipping & Handling is a flat rate of $11.99 to anywhere in Canada, or $16.99 to anywhere in the U.S.A., for up to 999 crests. Orders ship from our Toronto location and delivery time depends on distance. In general South-Western Ontario is next day delivery. Some areas on the east and west coasts can take about a week. If you provide your ZIP/postal code we can look up your shipping time. Rush S&H options are available at additional cost, if needed. Overseas shipping ranges from low to high speed and corresponding cost.[/quote] [editline]13th November 2010[/editline] Backing options include velcro, as well.

That's $190 for 100 patches. What range should we go for? (Keeping in mind, that people may want multiples)

There is a costume store down the road. I can ask if they do embroidery but I doubt it. [editline]14th November 2010[/editline] Hard to say, I'd buy at least three or four myself depending on price. (One for my Admin Pouch, one for my Uniform, one for my bag and a spare for whatever.)
