I'm cracking in too! badges

[LostDoggy]

Hi guys,

It's time to get yourself a “I'm Cracking In Too!” badge and show the world that you're behind the coach, behind the team and behind the philosophy that is looking increasingly like delivering the goods, long term, for our club.

Here are some ideas for a badge design. Constructive critique welcomed. Designs 1&4 have WOOF.NET.AU on them, designs 2&3 didn't have room.

Design 1:

Design 2:

Design 3:
http://www.simplicitywebdesign.com.au/misc/badge-idea-3.jpg

Design 4:
http://www.simplicitywebdesign.com.au/misc/badge-idea-4.jpg

I'll take the winning design and print some badges depending on demand. We need to get at least 50 badges made. This would cost us $1.26 per badge plus $8 shipping = $1.42 a badge. We'll charge $1.50 a badge.

So, what are your thoughts on the designs, and who's interested?

Definately number 2. I would get one of these.

[Daughter of the West]

I'm in! Love your work BAS.

In terms of design, could you take design number 2, remove the "I'm cracking in too" and put "woof.net.au" in it's place (similar to design 4)?

[KT31]

Would love it if you could have a Bulldog punching.

[LostDoggy]

For sure number 2. Got a real Rage Against The Machine feel to it!

[bulldogsthru&thru]

I like number 1 because it's simple, less cluttered and gets the message across easily. It can be read easily by others

[always right]

Would love it if you could have a Bulldog punching.

agree with this

[Twodogs]

I'm in! Love your work BAS.

Yep. I like the "black power" feel to it but it'd be great if you could fit a woof logo in there too.

#imcrackinginbadgeformeplease

[Greystache]

Number 4, but I like the style of number two's fist. The #2 design looks a bit busy.

[strebla]

I in number 4 for mine numberb2 is too busy for mine

[bulldogtragic]

Great work. 4.

[Bulldog4life]

I like it. Number 4 for me.

[dadsgirl16]

I like #4..important to have WOOF.NET.AU I reckon and it's less busy

I'll have to buy extra's for my (still) doubting friends!

[LostDoggy]

Thanks guys! Appreciate it.


I'm in! Love your work BAS.

In terms of design, could you take design number 2, remove the "I'm cracking in too" and put "woof.net.au" in it's place (similar to design 4)?

Yeah, I thought that myself. Might also need to simplify the design a bit, remove some of the stuff behind the star, for example.


Would love it if you could have a Bulldog punching.

I'll see what I can do. The badge size is 55mm so may not be lots of room.


Number 4, but I like the style of number two's fist. The #2 design looks a bit busy.

Agree.

Of course, if we get enough interest, we can always do BOTH a simplified design #2 and #4.

[ReLoad]

#4 is a winner and will sit nicely attached to my woof scarf.

[LostDoggy]

Design 5:
http://www.simplicitywebdesign.com.au/misc/badge-idea-5.jpg

Thoughts?

[bulldogtragic]

Yep! :)

[Murphy'sLore]

1 or 4 for me. Love your work!

[bornadog]

I like number 1 because it's simple, less cluttered and gets the message across easily. It can be read easily by others

Ditto

Great work BAS. This might be one we contact the club on, what do you think?

[LostDoggy]

I can't edit the poll guys, so just post a vote for #5 if you think it's a winner.

[bornadog]

I can't edit the poll guys, so just post a vote for #5 if you think it's a winner.

Looks pretty good as well.

If the club went for this, the middle could be adjusted for the Club logo?

[Maddog37]

5 for me. Polo shirts too?

[1eyedog]

Great stuff. :cool:

The star and clenched fist design doesn't feel like a Bulldogs design at all, almost looks neo-communist.

Design number 4 is simple and easy to read as others have stated

[westdog54]

I can't edit the poll guys, so just post a vote for #5 if you think it's a winner.

This.

Looks fantastic

[LostDoggy]

I like how Two looks but four might be the most appropriate because of the way the text stands out.

Either way 10/10 would buy

Edit: 5 looks like a winner going for that now

[comrade]

I like 4.

[LostDoggy]

Number two for me, will def buy any of them though

[dadsgirl16]

either or #4 #5

[Scraggers]

voted for #4 but would prefer #5

Love the idea of a shirt too !!

[Mofra]

I voted number 4 - if it was a T Shirt I would prefer no 2.

[WBFC4FFC]

#4 is the one. Simple and promotes woof.net.au as well.

#1 with the two fists. Unfortunately my first reaction was a bit to juvenile/sexual.

[anfo27]

Great idea!! I like number 5 as well.

[chef]

For sure number 2. Got a real Rage Against The Machine feel to it!

Yeah, that's why I like it.

[chef]

Design 5:
http://www.simplicitywebdesign.com.au/misc/badge-idea-5.jpg

Thoughts?

Winner.

[The Underdog]

Yep I like 5. I find the neo-Communist aspect of it appealing.

[EasternWest]

Design 5.

Put me down for 2. One for me and one for AndrewP6. I would love to see a pic of him wearing one, and am happy to fork over the couple of bucks to get it done. ;).

(Only a playful dig at you AP6, I respect your contributions here.)

Stuff it. Put me down for three and I'll mail one to Chops too.

[LostDoggy]

Design 6: This one might work better as a t-shirt:

http://www.simplicitywebdesign.com.au/misc/badge-idea-6.jpg

[soupman]

Number 6, but 5 is good too.

I'll buy 5 of the winning design btw.

[LostDoggy]

[josie]

I like 5 (originally voted for 1) - it's like power to the people rather than a punch which I think has better feel. No matter what design I'll buy a few for sure.

[AndrewP6]

Design 5.

:D haha very funny. If I was choosing, 5 or 6 are ripping designs. I'll pass though.
Oh, and you'd need to pay me more than $1.50 to 'crack in'. If I never hear the expression again, it'll be very pleasing ;)

Will it be "certainly pleasing"?

You can beg off all you want. The idea has taken hold in my mind and it's gonna be my next avatar!

I'm with BAD on this. Otherwise, it looks bloody brilliant.

EDIT: Actually, now everyone's a critic! I think the Bulldog needs to be a bit closer to the lettering above his head.

This is awesome BAS. I'm not a real club t-shirt kinda guy, but I'll definitely go for one of these.

[Greystache]

If the T shirt goes ahead I'm in for a blue one. Maybe I can even organise one for a very large bulldog too.

[boydogs]

6 is awesome :D

[Scraggers]

I would take away the exclamation mark makes it look like tool:D

Agreed ... Love the design ... I will get me one of them, but lose the exclamation mark !!!!!

[AndrewP6]

.

Certainly would be! ;)

[F'scary]

If you are talking about the "cracking in" mantra, how about something along the lines of:

[LostDoggy]

OK, well it seems there is a lot of interest for the badges — I think #4 is the winner. I'll enquire about whether we can do more than one design. I'll get back to you guys on final numbers.

For the t-shirts, because they're via Red Bubble you can just purchase one if you want one — there is no mark-up or profit made, so shirts are cost-price. However, I think I might fine-tune the design a little bit over the next day or so, so maybe hold off for now.

It's cool I'll get Chops one. Two badges for me please.

[1eyedog]

Yep I'd grab a blue one also. Original design, strong affiliations with this forum and a retro Bulldog... Perfect.

[Go_Dogs]

Love your work BAS, great concept. Quite like #5.

Well done with these, really clever.

[LostDoggy]

[QUOTE= This is awesome BAS. I'm not a real club t-shirt kinda guy, but I'll definitely go for one of these.[/QUOTE]

I tell you what there is really some talent out there.

The scarf and now the badges and t-shirt all look fantastic. The official modern t-shirts aren't very creative. And as people would notice it seems the afl have a design and then apply it to all clubs.

The "First 18" being all the retro gear is the only stuff I buy for myself. Now if we had talent like this doing our designs, surely merch sales would sky rocket.

I'll be buying multiples of anything that is made. Thanks BornAScragger

[Hotdog60]

Love the dog on the T-Shirt. Well done

[The Underdog]

Love the dog on the T-Shirt. Well done

Think we should check on the details of his supplements program. :eek:

[Twodogs]

Hirdy has been at our bulldog!

[Mofra]

^ That T-Shirt looks fantastic. I'd buy two (one for me, one for dad)

[dadsgirl16]

blue t for me...not really a t shirt wearing old duck but love these!

[KT31]

Bulldogs on the t-shirt looks great, excellent work BAD.
You certainly have a talent in this area.
Will wait for the tune up but I will certainly be grabbing a couple.

[LostDoggy]

OK, so I have just tidied up the t-shirt design a bit. There are two options — one with the slogan circling over the bulldog's head like the badges, and one with the slogan beneath the dog (more room on a shirt).

With the badges, as I said I'll be getting a quote today and then we can work out how to get them out to everybody, etc.

With the t-shirts, I've posted them through redbubble.com and therefore we don't need to drum up interest first, you can just go right on and buy one. I have put a 0% mark-up on them, so all prices are cost-price from redbubble.

Babies' onesie

[KT31]

Both look great , might get one of each.

[Maddog37]

Thinking a hoodie would be good. Does anyone know if the sizes are small or generous in fit?

[LostDoggy]

Thinking a hoodie would be good. Does anyone know if the sizes are small or generous in fit?

I've found them to be on the generous side, but I'm a big bloke and therefore order the larger sizes.

There is a fitting guide with measurements on the site.

[Maddog37]

Can we get the hoodie in colours other than white? I could not see an option for it.

[BulldogBelle]

Those T-shirts are AMAZING. Great job!

[JohnGentStand]

Its red bubble time ! I havent been there since the Ben Hudson beard appreciation days :)

Nice work B.A.S.

[LostDoggy]

Can we get the hoodie in colours other than white? I could not see an option for it.

What colour were you after?

[dadsgirl16]

done! blue one on its way....thanks B.A.S!

[Maddog37]

What colour were you after?


Grey or blue in xl.

[LostDoggy]

Grey or blue in xl.

OK, so on further investigation, hoodies only come in

White
Dark grey
Black
Navy Blue
Brown
“Heather” grey


I only selected the colours that I think will look good with the design. I've added the dark grey and black for you, but I'm not confident it will look as good.

[Maddog37]

Navy would be special.

[LostDoggy]

Navy would be special.

Done.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

ordered t shirt we don't need no stinking badges

[Maddog37]

Done.

Thanks BAS.

[EasternWest]

Kids T ordered. You're a good man BAS.

P.S. I had a bit of a chuckle at the Zeph tee. The memories.

[Maddog37]

Hoodie ordered.

[LostDoggy]

I just received my shirt in the mail. I have to say, the quality from Red Bubble is quite poor, and has obviously declined markedly since the last shirt I got.

[Maddog37]

That is life BAS. It is all in good fun and appreciated either way.

[bornadog]

I just received my shirt in the mail. I have to say, the quality from Red Bubble is quite poor, and has obviously declined markedly since the last shirt I got.

Are badges still on?

[LostDoggy]

Are badges still on?

Yes, just collecting quotes.

[I'm Not Bitter Anymore!]

Got my t shirt today - will wear it with pride on Sunday

[Bumper Bulldogs]

Ill take a T-shirt too.

Just a thought should you offer this to the marketing team at the Dogs, Could be a fantastic slogan to run with next year?

[BulldogBelle]

I like number 1 because it's simple, less cluttered and gets the message across easily. It can be read easily by others

Yeah I'm with you

[F'scary]

How about a "cracking in" design with Miley Cyrus featured?

[ledge]

I find only number 6 badge has any bulldog reference to it, the others people wouldn't know they were about the club and it's mantra
Absolutely love the bulldog on the t shirts , will scroll through red bubble now

[ledge]

Can someone please put up the link in red bubble to the t shirts I can't find them
