Thats realy good.... well done maddave Not sure about the colour though.
I think that if you make the leaf fill the box a bit more you may be able to get it to look more like the logo..... good clothes ;-)

excellent work.

Good stuff.

Ed, what would you suggest for the colour? I agree about the leaf, it could work well if it was a bit more full. What does the box look like if it is a bit bigger and then the leaf is stretched out more?

 

[maddave]

If the box is made bigger, the text suffers a bit and because the veins in the leaf are quite pronounced, you lose the idea of it being a leaf..Looks like a selection of random lines.
It can be any colour you want, I got that colour from the Forum logo :shock:

 

[Tony]

For me it needs to be close to that colour. You could switch and make the background something else and the pictures red :twisted:

[Chopper]

I think that its a brill design.
But, I want two now because I am spoilt bratt, and cant wait for anything.
Any ideas when these will be done?
And have you thought of having stickers made in the same design?

Ikea do a brilliant waterstone in a rubber case for £4.00

Hi Chopper, Can you remember what it was called or what bit of the store it was in ? Gary posted about these several weeks ago and I went to try and buy one. Couldn't find it anywhere in either the shop or catalogue though. If you can identify it, it would be great. Sure beats £16 for the Granfors B version.
Thanks, Alick

Here you go Alick

Ikea Whetstone

And if anyone is going to Ikea anytime soon.....can I be cheeky and ask if they can get one for me please (I dont have an Ikea near me :-( ) and I will obviously pay for the P&P. (PM me so I can say yay or nay just in case you all go...dont think I need 200 whetstones!!!!!)

Thanks

I was at the Warrington store on the 1st Jan and they had not had one for a while.

 

[Rob]

IKEA :yikes:

Went there the other day - spent ages wandering about and deciding what I wanted - just to find that it was either out of stock or discontinued

Anyway - hopefully that will be my 2004 visit over and done with and I can spend my time in the woods

Reckon the extra £12 is well worth avoiding a trip :-D

 

[Chopper]

I got mine in the kitchen department, and comparing it to the the ice bear kit I bought from Axminster tools its the biz.
Its approx 4" x 3" x1" got a rubber case and at only £4 ideal for your pack. I dont go there very often but they had them at the thurock store just before christmas when I bought 147 of them all for me.

ANYWAY what about the bloody badges!!!! (DIGRESION OR WHAT).

 

[ditchfield]

Jamie,
Theres one in Bristol, not that far away.

 

[Tony]

Mad Dave, can you loose the bloke and the fire leaving just the leaf and the words. Can you also try that out with a circle.

Cheers :-D

 

[Chopper]

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bu:

 

[alick]

Thanks for the whetstone stuff guys. That explains a lot - I was looking in Warrington ! Cheers

 

[maddave]

Here we go..... Design No 6

 

[Ed]

getting there.... not too sure about the stretched fonts..... could make the ends hard to read.... as for the colour, what about a green background with a red square and leaf. That would make it very recogniseable at a distance (well... a green circle with a red dot in in the middle at a distance)
