Greetings fellow marines, cadets, and trainees. I have been working closely with Ramz over the past months to design a new logo for this group. I have spoke to many marines, one on one via email, and shown a sneak peek to gather their input. My plan was to design some great artwork, and then fund and produce patches and a challenge coin. With the assistance of a fellow Garrison Carida member, Jim Cannon, this is original artwork. When I submitted this to the patch vendor, I also forwarded an official Lucasfilm pic of the Galactic Marine (running photo) to have the color matched. Therefore the color you see on these designs are as close as anyone wil get to the original color. And the alternate logo was original artwork that was designed by Ramz., but then I altered it.
Many of you have been patiently waiting for possible merchandise, so that we can show our pride. Here is the proposed patch that I present to you:
If we all agree, and get a majority thumbs up from the group, I will immediately place this order to the vendor (who is ready to go). This does not have to be the official logo, nor the official motto of the group. If we choose, it can be a "promotional" patch and / or coin, since it will be a low number produced (100 total of each). But I for one, would love to have a couple of items to show my pride as a Galactic Marine!!!
As far as the challenge coin, I propose the first side of the coin be the same as the patch. However, for the 2nd side I was inspired and took an idea from Ramz's recent artwork. I inverted the colors, and have our special "53" in the middle of the Republic cog. Once again the blue color was selected for both designs due to the blue cog shown in the upper right hand corner of the Galactic Marine action figure.
SIDE #1
SIDE #2
Please give me your input suggestions to these items. Post up if interested, and again if there is a majority interest, I will put this into motion immediately. The patch vendor is ready to go, all I have to do is order it. All merchandise will be funded by myself, then when the items arrive and are in hand, I will post up for orders. Therefore, once you pay, the items are shipped out shortly thereafter.... OR....if everyone likes the "alternate" logo / possible SIDE #2 to a challenge coin, we make the "alternate" logo into another patch, thus producing a two (2) patch set. As far as pricing, the patch will cost approximately $3.00 USD (including paypal fees) + shipping. The challenge coin is being investigated right now, but approximate rough idea of cost is be $6.00 (maybe a little more, up to $0.50 USD ) per coin + shipping, but I will update this. Hope you like what you see, any questions please contact me at my email: querio3@msn.com
