I have this one made in Adobe Illustrator CS5.5

I can 'backsave' it all the way to ver. 7.0

You need to download this font: http://www.dafont.com/final-frontier.font

Here is a larger preview of my signature patch. All you have to do is replace the name of
your ship and it's command association.

My file is layered for easy editing.

PM em you e-mail so I may send you the .AI file or e-mail me directly at: spektre76@gmail.com

Thanks!

    And I just wish I had an Akira Tier V for STFs :)

    I wouldn't mind having an email copy of your working file. I was wondering how to do these patches for some time.

    I sent a PM earlier (half an hour ago?) with my email address too. Might have to refresh or wait a while as the forum PM system is slow to update.

    Confirmed receipt.

    Nice! It looks like a real fabric patch. How did you get the embossed ship outline? Cutout tool or similar?

    I'll have to look up how to create the borders of the emblem. I'm about to try and hack out something similar to the "Odyssey Class Development Project" round patch that's on the shipyard banners.

    • Object>Path>Offset Path
    • First you have to make a compy of the ship "Ctrl + B" = Paste in back
    • while still selcted do the path offset
    • then on the "Path Finder" select the 'Merge Objects' icon.
    • Then repeat the process for more outlines.

    I wish I still had my embroidery plug-in. I used to be free, now it's $100.

    Nice work!

    No need for an embroidery plug in btw. I digitize embroidery designs professionally. I send proofs to customers from the vectors rather than the digitized emroidery files so I can get approval before I actually digitize the work. To make the proofs look like embroidery, I use a textured overlay with a greyscale emb pattern to make it look like stitches.

    Something like that could really make this look authentic.

    Is this a hobby or do you work with graphics professionally? it's always cool to meet another artist!

    Love your avatar btw.
