mattig89ch he/him Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 So, I had this idea for a custom morale patch. The goal of it would be to express the fact that I am a member of the LGBT community, given how I'm bi-sexual, and the fact that I support the 2nd amendment. The closest thing I could find, was a don't tread on me snake with a rainbow background. Neat, but not quite what I was looking for. So I contacted some custom patch makers, described my idea to them, and they all started saying they needed an image to work off of. So I created this in GIMP.

Yezrien Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Please understand that what I'm about to ask should not be read as passing judgment on your views, or as a condemnation of your lifestyle. I am simply curious, because you are so different from me in this respect. (spoilered due to possible trigger.) Spoiler Why will you not read Mistborn? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch he/him Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't understand, thats a trigger? How so? As for me, I don't really like fantasy. I much prefer scifi, westerns, or mysteries. What do you think of my patch idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yezrien Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Just a joke. Sorry about that. To be honest, I think the patch is a bit confusing. Without your explanation, I might have assumed it was just a pro-gun patch with an ironic background, or else a really militant gay rights flag. If there's a large and well-defined LGBT gun community, I'm sure they could use a symbol like this. If not, it might be simpler to just wear two patches, one for each cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch he/him Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 I have actually thought about that. But I only have so much realestate on my backpack's velcro area. Right now, I have the US flag, my state flag, and then a youtube channels patch. And...I'm out of room. So The next patch I would want to condense multiple flags to one. How could I make it better? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yezrien Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Maybe you could get both issues into a single slogan. “Out and Armed” or something like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattig89ch he/him Posted February 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2018 Interesting idea. Do you think it'd be good instead of the 'come and take it' text? Or on top of it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yezrien Posted February 16, 2018 Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 (edited) I meant instead. I think you should try to create a symbol for both issues, rather than using some of each. That's just my two cents, though. I'm not a graphic designer, or anything with any authority on this subject.
