cjdesign[TK] Posted February 5, 2017 Report Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) "Keep on Truckin' Troopin' " LOVE it! Thanks Joseph. I could go one step further and add a mickey hat to one of the troopers or have the 4th trooper holding a mickey balloon to tie in the Orlando/Disney theme as others are using?

Barcoder[TK] Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 Two questions for you.... 1. Is there any "required" text that must be in the design? (Celebration, 501st, FISD, dates, TM, etc...) 2. What colour(s) will be the t-shirt be? 1 Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 Good question! Here are the answers: Yes, 1. It shall say Celebration VIII or Celebration 8 with Orlando. 2. It shall say FISD or "1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment" somewhere on it. 3. It does not need to have 501st or 501st Legion anywhere thereon. 4. You can use the year, 2017. 5. Actually it's best if there is no Disney character references (e.g. Mickey Mouse ears). If you use Orlando, FL the text is fine. If you use just Orlando, then having the outline of the state somewhere, even if small, is a nice idea. It can instead be a patch. T-shirts are more expensive and people tend to have plenty of them. People collect patches and also sew them on to gear bags, lifer jackets, etc. so are more flexible. On a t-shirt though, in lieu of using the FISD logo, you can put a small "stepping out" trooper FISD logo somewhere. Not required, but nice to have. Quote

FWIW, I dig the use of using FISD colors to denote the detachment, rather than using our logo directly. Edited March 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 link not working, removed gmrhodes13 2021 2 Quote
Barcoder[TK] Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 (edited) Here is a concept that me & Pyrates have been working on together... It is still a "work in progress; it has changed since these versions.....but this is the over-all "feel" of what it will end up as. Obviously this will not work as a patch design, it was designed solely for a t-shirt. (I guess it could be adapted to a patch, but some of the "visual back ground" will be lost or have to be re-done.) I am still refining the details and layers but thought I'd share what we have so far.... We hope you like concept. Bucket version E-11 version Edited March 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photos updated gmrhodes13 2021 9 Quote

Pretzel Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) New design, and this will be the one I will submit if I am allowed to only submit one. (I like this as a patch). Thoughts? Edited March 16, 2021 by gmrhodes13 photos updated gmrhodes13 2021 9 Quote

Good luck to all 5 Quote

cjdesign[TK] Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) I think we need to know how many colors we are dealing with? A t-shirt design should be solid in nature. 3-4 colors max. Edited February 8, 2017 by cjdesign Quote

cjdesign[TK] Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 Mind. Blown. That blaster is amazing. Do please change First to 1st. it should stay as "first" not 1st. correlates with the "F" in FISD. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 8, 2017 Report Posted February 8, 2017 it should stay as "first" not 1st. correlates with the "F" in FISD. Incorrect. The detachment name has ever been "1st Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment" since I wrote the charter in 2006. Somewhere along the way FISD was born because 1ISD just looked silly I guess. This is why on all detachment merch you may see FISD, but you'll never see First Imperial Stormtrooper Detachment". Hope that helps EDIT: It was originally "1st Imperial Stormtrooper Corp", however the year before we started the Legion created a rule that all new detachments had to have the word "detachment" in it, so I just swapped out Corp for Detachment on the charter. Why 1st? Because the 501st Clonetroopers in EP3 had the blue "i" on their chest, and I wanted to use the same iconography in our logo to show continuity that we were still troopers of the 501st Legion. In the Army they use Roman numerals for Corp, e.g. I Corp = 1st Corp, V Corp = 5th Corp. Since we are using the i, then we had to be 1st Corp. OK, maybe TMI, but that's the full story. 10 Quote
