The OTHER 30th Anniversary Patch.
Hey folks,
Now that the first 30th anniversary patch has been done, made, and sold out so as not to cause the designer/fabricator any financial hardship, I am now re-introducing the "other" design for consideration.
Due to the desire to preserve the detail in the design, it has been determined that a WOVEN patch vs. an embroidered one will need to be made...a little more $$, but not much!
The size will be 5" wide by 4" high/tall again in an attempt to preserve the details. The following images can be D/L'd and printed/formatted to that size at your home to get a better idea of how it would look as an actual patch!
ALL of the grey colored parts/areas of the bike would be done in a metallic silver thread to simulate chrome and polished aluminum, and the yellow lettering, tuning forks, and XS Eleven logo in the lower section would be done with GOLD metallic thread. The patch will still have the raised embroidered border.
THIS IS THE FINAL DESIGN. But "we" have 2 choices of background color. Either White or Yellow. Here are the arguments.
White: Clean look, not as clashing with the rest of the Vest/Jacket that it would be sewn onto!
Yellow: Official Yamaha Yellow; it provides better IMHO contrast to the metal parts that will be done in metallic silver thread...ie. handlebars, pipes, etc.; brings out the yellow piping of the tank/side covers/seat cowling; and it DOES stand out....isn't that why we wear patches...so show them and be seen/noticed?!
Perhaps you can tell I'm in favor of the "YAMAHA" Yellow background!
So.....please cast your votes accordingly!
