What about a solid black border. Would give it a more "finished" look and still maintain a bit of contrast. Does kind of look like a grown folks merit badge.... maybe that's why I like it.

That's exactly what it is, a merit badge. Are you awesome, yes, then let me see your awesome merit badge!

Here is what I'm thinking. I don't think the black imperfect circle is translating well to stitch. I'm thinking it's better to remove it or make it solid.
I also like the brighter sunburst of the first patch.
I do prefer the thicker skull of the second patch.
Feedback?
most definitely! the skull on the right is much better. i love it, lookin' gooooood

What about ending the sunburst with black and scrapping the ragged circle? Considering the media (a patch) and the way its stitched, it might make sense to simply merge black into the already existing sunburst stitch pattern. Just an idea!
The patch looks great so far, I'm excited to see the final product!

I had though of that, but I wanted something more chaotic to fit with the Wabi-Sabi concept. The patch was always going to have a black border so the earlier shots with the red at the edge were not actual. I was more concerned with the "interior" of the black circle.
I think we are close to a final revision. I'm going to pressure them to send me the actual sample so I can touch and feel it. They are resistant to sending a physical sample, but I think I'll need to have it in my hand before I place the order. Once I get it, I'll take more shots and post them. This way everything is true and unbiased.

*puts on pompous voice* I know from experience the difference between the colours on the web and the colours IRL. Even quoting Pantone color codes, a magazine advert didn't quite look right.
And I've just realised that was no help to anyone. OK, what I meant was, 'I know it's more difficult than it seems.' Should a just said that in the first place!

I totally get you. That's why I want to have it in person before I commit.

I think they got! I've asked them to ship it to me for hands on approval.
