Bachido Stickers & Patches!

Funny this pops up in my email after I just saw a t-shirt press in town :slight_smile: someone was making really awesome tshirts, bags, and hoodies using what looked like neon lettering surrounded by see-through plastic paper… and they put it in a george foreman/ teppanyaki type of press.

looked great :smiley: we should get one definately!

I remember being able to choose the backing of the patch. I believe the choices were: plain|velcro|Stick-on.

I think bachi pins would be cool… could stick them to bag straps an such :stuck_out_tongue:

They do pins too. http://www.qualitylapelpins.com/

Okay! Many great ideas. It’s time we decide on one for now. :slight_smile:

Three options to try
Stickers

Embroidery

Pins

Question 1
Which should we order first?

Question 2
What size would be most preferable? 2"? 3"? Larger?

patches! :smiley: (embroidery) I will bachido up my pjs :stuck_out_tongue:

Okay! Ordering some 3X3 stickers and iron on patches! (those could be sewn on too)

After two years of procrastinating, it’s about time! :slight_smile: Thanks for y’alls suggestions and support!

I’m ordering the stickers now. Before I send the artwork, I have to ask everyone. Black mon or white mon?

I think white, as most things are black (black laptops, black doukake, etc) so it would show up better. But let me know your thoughts ASAP!

My 2 sen worth of opinion:
I think either way has the same issues. (white laptops, phones). Most of my items like that are grey/metal though.

This is on a clear background?
I know you probably don’t want to do an extra color, but if you outline in the alternate color (White with a black outline/ black with a white outline) it doesn’t matter. **I mean whatever white or black background you stick it too it will show.

White maybe, because most instrument cases tend to be black?

Hmm… white laptops, that’s true too. Though as you say, your items are greyish, and I suspect most people have darken items (cases too), and so white would show up better.

Oh! I wonder if an outline is possible?? That might solve everything!

Yes, it’s on a clear background. I made a little graphic to illustrate the point. :slight_smile:

Me an jamie are thinking white with a black border… solves everything :slight_smile: can see it on any surface.

ooo maybe fridge magnets at some point! D:

Hey Steven, I made a sample of your idea of white with a black outline. I think it looks great! Then it could be stuck on anything!

Everybody happy with it? :slight_smile:

I think that you might want to also outline the inner area? It looks great though!

As for refrigerator magnets… Not to take anything away from future potential bachido store item ideas, but all stickers I buy/pick up from national parks, microbreweries, or other cool things I turn into magnets for the fridge! Woohoo for craft store magnet sheets~! (^o^)/

Ah! Good idea. Something like this. :slight_smile:

Yeah, that outline was a great idea, Steven! Thank you!

For now, I think the swag will be regulated to stickers, patches and shirts. :slight_smile: (Speaking of which, I’m working on turning Alessandro’s cool sakura/tenjin design into a new shirt!) I only have so much space in my closet for storing knickknacks. :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks great to me. Hope others will give you some feedback!

I love Alessandro’s Sakura/tenjin design, it’s a bit too much, ahem, pink for me to wear on a t-shirt. If someday in the future it gets put on a sticker/patch/pin I’d get me one.

Okay! Final version, I believe. :slight_smile:

I believe it’s okay, but let me know if the lines are too thick, or not thick enough or anything. :slight_smile:

I feel like my eye gets pulled to the outer circle with the double heavy lines. Maybe a heavy outer, and same thickness as the symbol, inner? It’s also after midnight here, so it might be tired eyes staring at a bright iPad too. OvO

Love the Bachido kanji addition.

Ah, how about this?

Uh huh, uh huh. Looks great to me~
