Hey everyone! It's the guy from the thread a few days back.
I've spent the past couple days designing a few patches that I hope people will like. My issue is that I can't afford/it's too risky to order more than one initial patch. I'm planning to order 50 of one of these and then restock with more designs from those funds.
So my question: which of these, if any, would you most like to see made? Any of them tickle your fancy? Or do you have any feedback for me?
Here's where they'll be sold: againstmeaning.bigcartel.com/ (feedback on the site design would be really appreciated as well)
Joseph Parker
How exactly did this become a meme?
Aiden Russell
Shit.
Jaxon Phillips
Does anyone have any experience with Inner Decay? How's their shipping?
Austin Allen
I ordered the one in OP's pic and got it in a little over a week iirc
John Campbell
akira
Ayden Garcia
Links to shops that are based in Europe pls
Nathaniel Lopez
got this hot lil number in the mail the other day
Jeremiah Wood
Thoughts on the Disorderly Goods merit patches? Would they look good on a military jacket or bomber? Looking at the big dipper one
Julian Smith
the upside down triangle is the best by far and i dig the website. fits nnicely with your inspo forr the patches
Benjamin Barnes
I'd definitely cop PAY ATTENTION, it's perfect for my style
I'd probably get Joyce too but you need to simplify the design like you did with the other guy (telsa...?) because it probably won't look the same embroidered
Jason Jones
Thanks guys! Feedback means a lot as I'm pretty new to designing for anyone other than myself
btw it's Marcel Proust, I noticed there are no good literary patches and I wanna fix that
Joseph Wright
Alright done, how's this?
Ethan Miller
Don't order just 50, the difference in cost between 50 and 100 is negligible, and shipping is expensive. Better bang for your buck.
Joseph Myers
My only worry is that I won't find enough people to sell 100 patches to. You think 100 is worth it?
Nolan Sullivan
I only did 50 of the first patch I made, and then promptly ordered 50 more. It's really about getting it seen by the right people, there are plenty of pay to post IG's with large followings who will be happy to bump your stuff for a nominal cost.
Anthony Nguyen
Do the Joyce portrait. It'll fly. Consider making it a woven patch.
Jack Jones
Alright! Thanks man, I'm glad I'm talking to someone who's been through this before
Any recs for good IGs?
John Thompson
Patchgame, Patchcommand, Patchthread off the top of my head
Parker Williams
curious, where do u guys put these patches? backpacks?
Brody Mitchell
And if you don't mind me asking, how much did you charge per patch when you first sold? My plan was to charge around $9 but give out discount codes frequently. Bad idea?
Jordan Rodriguez
$9 seems high. General cost is $7, but it all depends on your production costs. Here's how to calculate retail:
production cost + shipping / quantity produced x 4
for wholesale, do the same but multiply by 2
Ryder Sullivan
Alright, thanks again This has been really helpful
Carter Sullivan
2 3 and 6 are my favorites
Ryder Perez
where did you get this? need to cop
Brayden Bailey
anytime
Jackson Cooper
I will LITERALLY buy 1 and 3. Please jist make that 973club one it's really cool fuck 4,5, and 6 they are genuine dogshit but 6 would sell to basic ass bitches as faggy guys. 1 and 3 are actually original
Jordan Hall
Best place to put this on a stonewash jean jacket? Can't decide
Lincoln Watson
DO 6
Angel Turner
...
Hudson Gonzalez
the placement in the pic looks fine honestly.
Christian Edwards
I was thinking about buying this tee and cutting off the back (pic related) for a denim jacket. Whaddaya think?
Michael Flores
It's really big. Find out if an xtra small's print will be smaller and if so, it'd be safe to go with that one
can anyone link me where to find patches that arent "lol i want to kill myself xd", "have you heard of albert camus" or other edgy nihilistic shit that mundane 16 year old girls thinks makes them look cultured and mysterious?
also i tried to find other paintings and they were literally exactly the edgy shit you would expect: ivan the terrible repin saturn devouring his son goya not saying these arent great paintings but a bit limited.
also if anyone can find: -christian imagery -good art -geometric designs -mathematical stuff -references to lit which arent pretentious or if they are pretentious, are at least interesting -some flags maybe (regional or national) -does anyone know how well these painting patches turn out in real life? seem a bit fuzzy -some decent fascistic imagery
1 has an ugly colour pattern but thats just personal taste. 2 and 3 are the best. they come from that schizo maths site, right? 4 and 5 will make you the most money - more people recognise joyce's and proust's faces than have read them. if you want to pay them homage reference their works, not their likeness, fäm. 6 will make your entire website worthless.
here are some ideas. i dont know shit about how these come out as a patch though: -I would prefer not to. (reference to melvilles Barteble the scrivener but popularised by zizek) -if you want a good joyce reference perhaps Bladyughfoulmoecklenburgwhurawhorascortastrumpapornanennykocksapastippatappatupperstrippuckputtanach or Bababadalgharaghtakamminarronnkonnbronntonnerronntuonnthunntrovarrhounawnskawntoohoohoordenenthurnuk (looped around or spiralling?) (cont)
Gavin Cooper
only been effay once you all look fucking gay with your fucking girl scout patches
Michael Bailey
Funny you mention that, I've been trying to come up with a good Finnegans Wake patch. My contenders so far are the Euclid diagram, "abcedminded," or "bisexycle."
Using a thunderword would be extremely difficult unless I made a full back patch.
On a related note, what do you think of this? Clearly the details are shit but what about the concept? I want to wage holy war against minimalism
its not maximalist enough, and looks a bit tacky, fäm. why colourless?
Andrew Watson
I'll try out some more colorways and see how they feel! I'll see how cluttered I can get it while still being legible
Ethan James
...
Tyler Bailey
w2c chi-rho?
Connor Peterson
im pretty sure the brand is ball & chain
Jaxon Green
lmao you fucking neckbeard
Eli Davis
what color hat should I get for this patch
Liam Howard
It's custom made in a local store.
Ryan Johnson
İ just got this. İts actually a legit patch thats pretty popular amongst certain people.
Leo Martinez
way too busy to put on a hat, try a jacket
Christian Walker
Hey I got this patch from my job office (I work for the Forest Service) and it fits perfectly over the brand patch of Carhartt beanies?
Cool idea or not? And if it is cool what color beanie should I aim for?
thanks guys
Mason Rogers
Really depends on your aesthetic I'd say
Daniel Bailey
Earth-tone 90s outdoor clothing I guess, so yeah I feel it would match that
William Rivera

Robert Gonzalez
Alright, what do you fellows think of this first draft?
Caleb Evans
...
Bentley Flores
And here without any overlap
Ethan Sanchez
This one is better imo.Maybe ants legs and antennas shouldnt touch the letters.
Jaxson Phillips
I do prefer the one with overlap, but i'd color the insect. maybe a different color than , maybe a dark red, unless you want to keep it realistic.
Adam Evans
>being this insecure
Connor Price
>Weaponsgradewaifus
Wew
Lincoln Rogers
I'll mock one up and post a screenshot.
Here's another I just finished up. What do you all think, does it need a caption?
Jason Barnes
...
Ayden Phillips
If they ship to your country pls order two and send me one
I can't figure out how to get it in the US
Charles Smith
I like it, looks a lot like (which happens to be the one I posted myself). Not sure if this is the aesthetic that you want to go for, black-red certainly isn't the most original color scheme.
Andrew Brown
what about this design i made?
Kayden Perry
Really really bad, sorry
Caleb Peterson
yeah this is really terrible I regret to inform you
