Do you think an embroidered collectSPACE patch would be a good idea?I have to say now that it's a project I'm not personally "gifted" enough to do but I know we have some brilliant artists on here! |

Sounds like a great idea. I would certainly purchase one if available. |

I've long desired a collectSPACE patch, but the nature of our (horizontal) logo and the designs that I and others have come up with in the past haven't been ready for production.If someone has an idea for a patch design and wants to submit it for consideration, I'm happy to entertain proposals. Just e-mail me. |

This could be a fun project as we could make suggestions which Robert could obviously decide upon. |

There's nothing wrong with just the word 'collectSPACE' as a horizontal patch... think of it as the NASA worm or USAF letters worn either on the right shoulder of a flight suit or on the right breast of the flight jacket.... |

We certainly have enough patch designers and artists in our midst that a contest could be fun, but there might not be a clear winner. It might be advantageous to combine ideas from separate submissions, or it might be that none of the ideas are acceptable (though I tend to doubt that). How about this? If members/readers have ideas, e-mail them to me by May 31. I'll post them for everyone else to see, comment and vote on during the first half of June, so hopefully a patch could be ready for July 20, the site's 14th anniversary... (If you desire the collectSPACE logo art for use in your design, e-mail me and I'll be happy to share it.) |

Sounds good to me. A patch for the 14th anniversary on July 20th would be a wonderful way to say thanks for a great website.July 20th... Isn't there another anniversary on that day? |

As an update, I've already received one (very nice!) patch design and heard from another artist who is working on one. Looking forward to seeing what others come up with... |

Robert and I knocked around a couple of rough designs in 2006 but could never get to a finished design. As the different forums suggest, there are many facets to cS.I look forward to seeing what others bring to the table. |

Great idea - but I'll leave it to others to sort out how best to go about it... |

How about a 2" black circular patch with white border and a small c and a capital s in white.Those of us who know, know, and those who don't we could introduce them to this great website. I would be proud to wear a cS on my patch jacket. |

I'm no great artist but have ideas, I'm hoping to be able to create something for consideration? |

I think its best we wait and post all the designs received at the same time, so as to not pressure or influence others. |

I agree.Any idea for a deadline on that? I'd like to work something out but I'm swamped right now, might be a few days before I could render something, design-wise... |

I suggested May 31 above, but if people need more time, we can delay that. Just let me know... |

Sorry, I missed that. The 31st should be enough time for me. |

I suppose if one patch were not suitable elements, ideas and designs could be taken from several? |

The design I'm sketching out has exactly that in mind...if members like the concept, it's very amenable to "tweaking" and group input. |
