UKCF Biker Patch!

[davidruddell]

Whoa!!!!

Everyone slow down, stunned by the response, thank you....but.

If i'd known I'd have such a positive response I would have spent more time on it.

This one took about 40 mins whilst watching TV. (Yes Lee, Sons of Liberty, on series 2 now, this tv show has completely disrupted my previous 'Lie to Me', 'Fringe' schedule!)

I have a very busy day tommorow (With my son in physio, learning how to do stuff at home with him), but a relative day of leisure on Wednesday, so will do a new super duper version then.

So Brothers, you have about 36 hours to pour in suggestions, ideas, critiques et al.

Pile em in and I'll read through and go with all the best bits.

Rich, will I take you up on a laser etched bit of wood, Hell yeah! I'll send you some bits when we've got a final version, which can be 'chapter' customised for everyone who'd like a desktop/wallpaper version.

Thanks again for the response, I (since taking redundancy from Penguin books last year) often question my design skills, it's nice to get some positive feedback from someone other than the wife.

Nice one David. I have tried to etch your patch onto the back of an old Ramon Allones box. It has come out ok but I had to turn it into a monochrome image for my laser cutter to work with it. If you could do me a black and white version with no greys in it it would work even better.
I will etch it onto a bit of wood and send it to you if you want.

A stronger monochrome look and finish would be my preference, I think it would give the skull and cutters greater definition and make them easier to replicate on: T-Shirts, promotional material etc, not to mention laser etching it onto things (a Waxing Moon Humidor with UKCF livery anyone?).

An evil lookin', eye-patch wearin' Pirate skull (bandanna too?) would be my vote.

Don't change the 'Brotherhood' Font though - its the perfect choice.

My two cents!

Carry on . . .carry on . . .

Lets have them made into cigar bands and create our own member cigar, box and all lol

Dear God!

Is there no end to your limits of depravity?

And all because you can't wait to see a UKCF, custom-made band, wrapped around your 'Nub'.

Put it away man - you're going to frighten the horses!

[Lee Nub]

Lol, come on you know you want a box. The pipe forums im a member of have a yearly pipe carved for members , so why not a box of UKCF cigars . They dont have to be Nub size

[El Catador]

come on you know you want a box.

Ohh err! Let's not go there!

They dont have to be Nub size

In that case - where do I sign? You tease!

[davidruddell]

What do you mean "They don't have to be Nub size"

"I find your lack of faith disturbing"
Remember
"Only together can we turn him to the Dark Side of the Force."

Oooh a UKCF 2011 Edici?n Anuales, now that is a sexy idea.

[Lee Nub]

Of course your right,momentary lapse, it won't happen again.

[El Catador]

Remember

Oooh a UKCF 2011 Edici?n Anuales, now that is a sexy idea.

Whoa there Darth David . . you guys are the 'Dark side' . . and we're the 'Good Guys'! . . and don't you forget it!

[satch]

I think a T shirt and patch would be pretty damn groovy.
Not keen on the 1% bit though. Got some people round here might take a dim view.
There's only one of me and a lot of them!

[bigbarneyhotdog]

One has to be careful wearing a patch whilst riding a bike. There are certain clubs out there that take this as a sign of territory marking, seriously! Whilst it's a great idea have our own, just take heed chaps.
ps, i'm loving series 3 of sam crow, thank god for a bit of torrent

[BIG-KHOL]

right guys i think i got the patches sorted with a little bit of luck but need to speak to davidruddell so ive sent a pm will let you all know if this is going to happen and the cost and time as soon as i know anything. . one thing there will be no 1% on them as its can cause a lot of unwanted attention when you move in certain circles.

[MarkSDMF]

Yeah im with Satch and big khol, if you loom,at a previous post of mine, not bug on the one percenter idea. Cool idea but ive a few pals who would cut it clean off the cut lol.

Also, its not going to be a full, back piece patches is it ? I.e rockers etc.

[davidruddell]

Why can't I just relax!

I was a little naive on the 1% idea, just had a couple of pals round one of whom is a V keen vintage (Norton) enthusiast.

He agrees with you all the 1% could get some serious unwanted attention.

But while watching Samcro, knocked this B&W new version up, took 2 hrs this one, and a Oliva Torp and Nub Habano (Both V Nice)

Whatcha all think, this ones much easier to laser etch as requested but can be easily adapted for shirt, print, patch, & all that good stuff.

Been looking at a lot of examples of MC stuff on the web, so this is more inspired by that than just SOA.

Lets all agree on a version, I can make various versions for each application (T shirt can have a lot more old/yellowed/colour for example) and then we can shirt, patch, print, laser et al.


Hope you like her? (anyone spot the portrait of Fidel on the cigar band!)

As mentioned before I'm outta the loop for most of tommorow, but will pick up any PM's comments tomm evening.

P.S London Chapter is just for testing, it can be changed to anything in seconds! (Bloody Southerners)

Thanks again for all your input, Patches, T-Shirts, Laser Etching.... Blimey who would have thought it!
