Back to the Future - Badges

Just finished the boomerang badge, what do you guys think of it? ><

I might remake a few art in revolution pin in 1.25" instead of 1.5" just to see the difference, it looks rather big now :x

Update on my badges, I tried to put the 1.25" badge instead of the 1.5", wondering, if the size is not between the 2 of them actually ? XD

Looks great now. And your new boomerang pin is fantastic. Much better than your other one on the previous picture. It was a good idea to revise it. Or did you buy it anywhere?

Thanks Roland, a friend made it for me ^^ But he took my badge as reference ^^ I'm glad with the result n_n

Do 1.25 inch diameter Art in Revolution pins still exist anywhere for sale?

 

[YenChih Lin]

No, but I remember here in the free paper prop forum of BTTF there's a template for the button, which you can print and make your own…

I don't mean to sound rude, but the image isn't big enough for the circle.

Making pins like this usually involves wrapping a small part of the picture around the back of the button. The extra is probably to accommodate that.

The picture needs to bleed in the aim to make badges Mitastouch.

I don't understand what you just said. Bleed in the aim?

Oh ok. Makes sense.

It's a design term. It means that the picture has to overlap the frame you're working on. Bleeding is mainly used in magazine designs as the paper is trimmed. =)

I know a few people with button makers... I'll need to ask them what size buttons they can make.

 

[MitasTouch]

It would be nice to have a large quantity of accurate size buttons available.

The logo image has the correct size. It's the circle which is bigger than the finished badge. As you can read in my file, there's a badge size and a trim size. Most of the white space around the logo disappears behind the badge when you make it.

 

[MitasTouch]

Button makers are surprisingly expensive. Wow.

 

[formula388]

And it's more then just the button makers, the quality die cutters and supplies aren't too cheap either.
