I have checked. The company my dad uses say it can be done. They managed to do his adder logo with all the little zig zags. This is a rough look. They say they can colour correct it when they refine it.
Dad's is three colours on a blue background, and fairly fuss free really. Yours' is seven on blue....and very complex. The issue there is that you lose all this fine detail that you're fettling with.
I hope I am mistaken and it comes out sharp and crisp :)

Sure it is :rolleyes: You choose well though. I was scrolling through threads earlier when you’d changed it to the one that looked like mine. And I thought, I don’t remember writing that b0ll0x. Then realised it was you.

Looks great!

Of the 5 options, number 27 wins.
I bet there’s been more variations than that. I must have 20 she kept asking me to change over the weekend. And just today I must have seen about 30 different ones she’s put up and changed. And none of the originals look like the one she thinks she’s settled on.

57 maybe?

As much as we all showed great artistic vision and raw talent, I do reckon Broch’s contribution looks pretty spiffy.
 
I have changed it 17 times since Broch posted that up this evening. And I never noticed it had too many legs. But one was added by the stoopid software as I was making the centre stem darker and the hornet 7% bigger. It is clever. But right proper annoying. It can’t be told it’s wrong and gets worse when you tell it.

It is the pinnacle of awesomeness for avatars. And it will make really nice badges and patches and look lovely embroidered into tops. And it is very nice and symmetrical as well and I like that with no sticky out bits.

You know you can buy button blanks and transfer that design onto them too ? :cool:

120 posts in two days. That's got to be a new record! Who would have guessed that a simple 5 option avatar poll could turn into such an emotional roller coaster. :D

@HorseGuy You should check out her cheese thread she started a few years back. That’s was nonsense too.

I’m heading there tomorrow for a few days on a Robin of Sherwood location hunt.

I was about to comment on that thread but I'm not sure if resurrecting such a monster would be a wise move.

Then again cheddar is my favorite and aged cheddar matured in the caves of Wookey Hole does sound far more tempting than cheap supermarket cheese...

That was my point about quality content. One visits Stu M and posts up pics, the other licks tadpoles. I need to know who I'm dealing with here. :D
 
I loved the hornet with the complete poppy. I don’t think it needs the map unless that is a significant statement.

Downer alert.

Are you sure that the British Legion would be happy with the poppy flower + hornet?

I know Nothing and there are plenty of ex-military including the original artist on site to tell me I’m being stupid.

They don’t own the likeness of poppies, and ex-Army Me doesn’t think it causes any kind of confusion. To get into copyright territory it would need to be getting used to promote something which overlaps the RBL’s activities such as promoting Armed Forces and veteran based charity work.
