I like the idea of black and grey. Subdued, but not impossible to discern the design elements from each other.
3' for sure. Again I'm partial to a black and dark green color scheme similar to the bellow patches, but I'll take any alt color scheme that ends up running.

As an alternative to a subdued color scheme, I was also thinking something that includes the traditional blue of the garry's mod logo would be a nice nod to the heritage of the forums.

patchdynamics has a gmod patch
not like my order with it ever came though

quick paint bucket fuckery, what about a blue/grey theme?
There isnt any contrast at all
It seems a little too dark.
Indeed, that is the idea of a subdued patch, this would be alongside a bright red and white one.
I'll post some other variations
Do NOT order from patch dynamics for anyone else curious. They've been dead for a while, and there's a note in the opening post.
There's rumors that Ai sent NEET from Just the Base the rest of his stuff, and it might go up for sale on that website, but nothing about that statement is confirmed.
Actually this is a good point. Should the patch be based off of the newpunch logo like above in Badger's post, or the original logo?

or the reverse, either looks good.
I think this one looks better, honestly.
I think so too. If there aren't any objections I'd go with that and the red/white.

use the code "iosaturnalia" to get 15% off. It's the start of Saturnalia, an ancient Roman holiday that was pasted over, and also Simo's birthday.
Damn, those look nice. I honestly wish you made more WWI themed patches.
Merry Christmas, everyone!
Quick post on my December patch haul

Thanks goes to NEET, Dullahan Patch co, WoodPatch, 2hu, Ivan (of Komando Store), and ihome art on aliexpress.

Latest buys from Guard (top) and Diode Design (bottom). I think I posted the other ones from Dullahan earlier

My buddy hit me with these for Christmas, Delta Furce from Tatical Tabbies and the Metal Gear ones are from ZanzibarLand on etsy.
Updated picture of my patch board, too big for one phone camera shot so I had to shoddily stitch images together.

I love that classic Halo patch (bottom, middle). Where did you get that from?
Is tactical tabbies still active? They haven't posted in the usual places or put out any new designs for over half a year.
Which is a shame because I really like that delta furce and the whole spec-ops cat series.
Hey in terms of quantity for the FP patches, I was thinking of getting 25 of each of the red and subdued. Think that will be enough to meet everyone's needs here or should I get more? It's not much more expensive to get more, I just don't want to have unused patches sitting around. Lemme know
As much as I trust badgerhound, preordering patches generally isn't a good idea until you at least have sample photos. Seeing a concept is one thing, but how it translates to a threaded medium is entirely different. Especially the subdued variant, I'd really want to see how that came out before pulling the trigger.
Yeah there is some preorder stigma and I wouldn't want to start taking orders until I have the product in hand. It would be my luck that the shipping would get fucked or something and I'd be sitting here with a bunch of peoples' money and no patches. I just need a quantity guesstimate to start the process, I think 25 of each will work ok for starters.

Here's the first digital mockup of how the embroidery on the patches would go. The edges would of course be merrowed.
other stuff innaworks as well

I still live in an area with a ton of ex-pat south Vietnamese, I wonder if it'd be okay to wear something like that around the area or not. The few that would recognize it, at least.
Please wear patches responsibly!
i feel like it might be considered stolen valor a bit
its like if somebody walked around wearing a ranger tab or something
I think stolen valor is putting it lightly in the wrong direction, more like string me up from a light post for war crimes.
Yeah real talk I doubt I would wear this one, it would go next to some other patches of questionable imagery on the patch board. This is an example of the US doing legit bad things, so the point of the patch is historical awareness of that, not glorifying it. The artist wanted to get it out there and I think it looks good and fits with some of the edgier patches out there. For those who aren't aware:

Recently got a spanking new backpack with a huge velcro panel and I've been needing a home for some of my patches (Wolf, GIGN, R6S Twitch) plus some new ones.

Unfortunately (hehe) they sent the Apollo 13 mission patch instead of the Apollo 11 one. Oh well, already have two black cats in my apt, might as well go full unlucky.
Out of curiosity, is the Door Stuckers patch going to go back in stock? I've been itching to get one for a while.
