That's what I was thinking with the smaller one. I don't mind red, but it will clash with my orange stuff. Red would POP though.
What about basic black, with the design elements in colors? Orange, red, purple, etc. Does that make manufacturing more difficult/expensive?
I'd assume the price would be the same. That's like the reverse LCD you like. I'm not opposed to it, but I think I'd prefer a colored background.

Okay folks, we are going with a 1.5 inch patch. e2dwml's Villain skull will be in the center with a solid color background and a thinner border.
So it will look like this:
Now the two big questions: 1. What color for the skull thread (the border thread will be the same color as the Skull)? 2. What color for the background?
As of now, I'm thinking the following: Black Skull, White background White Skull, Black background Black, Bright Orange Black, Light Grey Black, Red
I'm thinking for a backpack we'd want something bright so I'm leaning towards white, orange, or red.
I'm still looking to keep the price at $5.

Actually I thought the same, just tried to find something which fits good to black. I had once a black longsleve with red print on. It was nice, but not that high-visible. Sure you could get a high, bright red, but thought I do the first try in green...

I think it needs to be as thematically close to the shirts as possible.
I hesitate to use the phrase "Willydigger Brand", but that kind of encloses the idea: the patch, shirts, bandanas, custom knife scales, hats (boonie for me, please), should all be as similar in style as possible.
So I think it should be the skull in a circle with the words bent around the outside. No outer border.

The shirts didn't have a circle. It was a base skull with the words flat. That won't work with a round patch.
The patch is down to just the skull. Adding words would make it too large. I could do it, but it would be a 2.5 inch patch at least. With out words 1.5 inch patch.
Now it's just a question of the border. At first I was thinking plain circle, and then I thought that might be too "square". So I went with a Wabi-Sabi circle.

I'm finalizing the sunburst orange above. Then I'll put in the order. I just printed the pic to 1.5 inches and looks freaking crazy awesome.

Here is the latest mock. Hopefully this work, because it is awesome!
Yeah, if it's really that red-to-yellow gradient, I'm in for several. Whaddya think the reaction would be if I attach one to my four year old's backpack for daycare? :onfire:

Grey will be way down the road. I have to order a ton of these. I'll double check to see if I have some pull, but I doubt it.
