It was suggested that we create a TRON Crest.

They have thread colours that will fluoresce under black light, and they also have thread that will glow in the dark, after being exposed to a light source.

Let me know if this is something that appeals.

I always like to see the mock up first before I'll commit to anything.  

I'm in for whatever you do, Bish.  +1

Uh huh.  Have you seriously hated anything I've done so far?

It's a big 10$ guess! ;)

Quoted from Bish

Uh huh.  Have you seriously hated anything I've done so far?

Hate is a strong word, but as an example I didn't purchase either the MAACA or CGCC crest as I didn't really like either of them.  

5 for me please.... only because I am a Tron-whore.

I am not kidding when I say that if Stern produces this pin, I might end up buying my first NIB pin.

Quoted from Bish

It was suggested that we create a TRON patch.

Yes I was thinking a patch of the code so the game would play more like this. :P

As per usual Bish, I'm always up for 1.
Daniel

PS: Awesome work with TZ... thanks for the delivery!

pending design and pricing...

I'd be up for 1 or 2 please.

I'd take one

keep those patches commin' Bish! My jean jacket is looking pretty sweet (IMHO :)), thanks to you!

$7.50 +$1.40 for shipping.  The design still has to be finalized...but keep watching this thread.  I'll post ideas as they evolve.

Not bad. But I think jean vest is the way to go. My flipper flippers need to breeeeeeath. They can't be hindered by denim. My arms need to be freeeee to really feel the floooooow. Be the Ball. You know?

Quoted from Bish

I was thinking about something like this, as a round crest.

"Tron" could have some glow in the dark stitching, and the other bright colours in the spinner logo, and the "electronic" pattern in at the back could be done in threads that would fluroesce under black light.

I'm not sure about that guy on your image...he seems kinda generic...

I've always liked the classic two people on the Tron poster.....just a thought. I'm sure whatever you make will look sweet!

Throw me down for one :)

The Classic Tron poster is fantastic artwork.  There are two problems with using the "Tron poster"  as  a base for embroidery.  (1)  It's not possible to do the "glow" effect in embroidery  (2)  The people in the poster are too small, as an image to properly convert to embroidery.

Generic Tron guy will look good once he's embroidered.  You won't really be able to tell the difference between him and the real Tron guy.

PAYMENT SENT!!!!! I WANT SOME!!!!

In for 1

Thanks!

Put me in for two please.

I've had some complaints about the Tron figure in the first concept art.  How about this...Do you like it any better?

Personally I preferred the original one.
All being said, I would still be interested in this one.

Someone mentioned that I should try to differentiate between the Tron video game,  from a  Tron pinball machine, if one is ever released.

I have made the crest shape, the exact same shape as the arcade cabinet.   That should do it, hmm?

prefere the first one!

But like the shape of the last one!

For all you people who prefer the first Tron character, here's how it would look:

Here are your choices:



a & b would be a round crest

c & d would be a Tron cabinet-shaped crest.

I'll make the one with the most votes.  In the event of a tie, I'll pick the one I like best (which is C).

i in for 5

d for president!

D

At the moment...5:33PM, July 18 :  (Including the ones I received by PM), C=5, D=5.

D

... but could the fella be a little bigger?

Quoted from Bish

I personally prefer R2D2 :P

If we go with D, I can make the fella a little bigger.  I just went with the same scale as the earlier one to slap a prototype together for all of you to gaze at in wonderment.  ;-)

I vote for C... with a smaller D on the the fella.

I'm in for one and I vote D please.

Thanks Bish

C

I'd take one and I pick "C"

Count me in for 1 also Bish.

thx!

It looks like "D" won.  Here's the artwork with the changes that were requested:

How did I miss this thread.  Can you put me down for 2?

Let me know what I owe you.

Please put me down for 1. Looks amazing and its the best of the four options IMHO.

Quoted from Bish

It looks like "D" won.  Here's the artwork with the changes that were requested:

Wow, Blaine, that looks awesome! Lovin' the changes.

We're close enough to the magic "50" number that I've sent the artwork into the embroidery company.

I can now accept payments.  Preorder cost is: $7.50 per crest + $1.44 shipping.

Paypal: iluvpinball@cogeco.ca  (Don't forget to include the 4% if you don't know the nifty trick that avoids me getting fees for your payment).

These look too good. I would like two instead of just one, please.

Payment sent.

I asked the embroidery company to send me a sample...because (1)  We're working with "glow in the dark" thread, and (2)  I got a sense that they really didn't understand what I was telling them to do...

Here is the crest I got back from them:



(The white areas around the contour of the crest and in the spinner are glow in the dark areas).

Here are the changes I've asked to be made:

a)  Letters "TRON" to be completely outlined in glow in the dark thread.
b)  Tron figure to be outlined in glow in the dark thread.
c)  Tron figure's face to be better defined (it's just a blank area right now)
d)  Gradient in "TRON" lettering to be better defined with another shade of blue.

They will be sending me a second proof within the week, and then when I've consented to the proof, it will take 21 days + shipping to get it to me.  

Sorry it's taken so long, but I wanted to make sure it was done properly.

It looks like it will be available for the November SB auction.

Very cool

Thanks.  Here's what the Glow in the Dark part looks like:

Wow, so much attention to detail. If there weren't copyright issues you could sell lots of these on Ebay.

PM sent - I will take two.  That is awesome work!

Ill take 1.. they look amazing!

Move me to 2 instead of my original order of 1

Squid

Put me down for one.
Thanks

You were already down for 1....

Jesus Bish... you should make patches of machines that are not a problem for copyright like old Sterns and sell them on Ebay... seriously. These are unbelievable...
