Marathon Trilogy Sticker-esk Fabric Patches *pic*

Posted By: Blayne Date: 8/21/04 4:57 p.m.

I never rest.

The last two MSF S'pht Logon T-shirts were sold today (at least, if the fellow pays). I have began plotting my next Marathon merchandise venture - one that may appeal to fans outside of the Marathon community:

Since receiving my patches from www.mopedarmy.com (check out my profile there to see my 'ped!) I've had a bee in my hat about creating a similar patch I could affix to my jacket shoulders, dress shirts, polo shirts, [anything!]. Others have voiced their interest in patches like this as well.

I've internationally left the top and bottom of the patch design blank. Perhaps Halo or Marathon players can embroider their names or team designation themselves. Custom lettering would be an *insane* lesson in frustration people, I'd leave customizing of the patch to the customer.

I have yet to work out pricing, but I have found it will cost close to $80.00Cnd just to get the template punched . Each thread needs to be digitally assigned before the thread-printer can have a go at the backing material. : )

I think a basic White backing with Black thread would look the best.
I'd like peoples input here before I go announcing anything at the HBO. I'll also be checking with Sketchfactor at Bungie RE: can I get sued?

I’d need to create a run of 100+ patches for it to be financially feasible. This forces the necessity of offering to the Halo.bungie.org forum crowd.
I hope Bungie cares not what wacky merchandise I create using their logos as long as it’s just sold within the Bungie fan community.

Let me know what you think!

Regards,
