parks and recreation

Here's that Tiki-Mask for anyone unfamiliar with it. :thumbsup

720 swag is on the list, may do a run if enough interest. I found a good spot for shirts and hats so we will see. The tiki mask is a good one that i wanna do but still trying to decide what material to make it out of. i was thinking of doing it in wood for the master and then making foam or resin casts. still in the works. also got a line on a print guy to do the badges.

ok so i have a question, i found a rough template for some parks and rec id badges and then I put them together with cropped photos i got off google. the problem is that they look a lot like the ones off etsy that are made with what i can only assume is the same template. Mine look a little different and are of my own work but they look VERY similar since the template and fonts are about the same. Is this considered copying and/or something of a recast situation. I want to move forward with getting them printed up but dont want to break any rules or guidelines etc.
mine is the left and sellers is the right

Personally, I don't see an issue. They aren't similar enough for anyone to dispute it.

 

[HULKSMASH1120]

i didnt think so but i was getting some flac on another forum for "stealing design elements" so i just wanted to be sure before i get them made up and possibly do a run

I like the picture of Leslie you used better. It looks more like something they would take for an ID badge than the one the Etsy seller used.

Here's a screenshot of her actual badge from the season 2 finale in case you need it.



I'd like to get Ron and Leslie's badges. I also wouldn't mind having one of Garry's :lol.

 

[HULKSMASH1120]

ive been trying to find a high res pic of leslies real badge but screen caps are too grainy. still working on garrys old school id

Here's what i've got for the "Essential" badge. The first one is from the last few minutes of the Season 2 Finale and the second is from Episode 10 in Season 4 where she gets the badge back after being suspended.

 

[HULKSMASH1120]

here is a more screen accurate badge from the clip. couldnt really clean up the pic, it was pretty grainy
.

 

[HULKSMASH1120]

btw i am still looking for someone to print these badges up on the cheap lol i have several i need to do and cant seem to find anyone to outsource this project. if anyone can/knows someone who can, please let me know. possibly do a run if the price is right

 

[LTsmash1200]

Honestly, half the time those badge pictures in real life are crappy and grainy anyway.

I also wouldn't mind having one of Garry's :lol.

You mean Larry.

ive made up the whole cast with high res photos. im just trying to get a print deal going so i can get a set made for me and maybe do a run if i can get them cheap enough to pass em on for decent price. ive been working on the old school jerry one but its so grainy i cant really work with it so ive started to make a new one from scratch using the screen ref as a guide. soon im going to be getting some knope campaign buttons and talking with a local wood carver about making a real wood ron tiki mask.. time will tell

I would be interested in all of those things.

 

[HULKSMASH1120]

right now i can do a run of ids in lanyard holders but they wouldnt be on pvc cards. If i can get a reliable print guy to do actual pvc laminate cards then i would do those. I really dont want to put out a second rate badge so hopefully i can get a print guy soon

Here's my badge. The kerning and alignment of the text is a little unusual but I made it the way it's seen on the show rather than "correcting" it. I made the Photo I.D from a screenshot but i'd still like to source a better one, i'm guessing this was something they snapped on the set and it probably dosen't appear anywhere else. I looked through about a thousand photos of Amy Poehler (not that it was unpleasant) to see if they used an existing photo but couldn't find anything.

I don't care how you use this, just credit me if you do. I can easily make changes to the .PSD file if somebody wants a different badge.

 

[HULKSMASH1120]

here they are in all their glory, if anyone is willing to print me up copies lemme know and like GREY said use em how u want just credit the work, enjoy

 

[Trooper_trent]

ttrooper_trent, congrats on the sweet find, love to see pics of all the stuff everyone has.

Thanks, it wasn't really a "find". I'd had this chair for work for a while. Started working from home so I snagged it and brought it with me (because it's expensive) and then one day watching the show I was like, "hey that's my chair!".

Bumping this with a brief update for anyone who may be interested. The Extended version of Episode 23 from Season 2 features an extra scene at the beginning where Leslie gives April a framed collage for her birthday that among other things features a very clear shot of her badge.

This is obviously different from the "Essential" badge, it's possible they changed the design for the "non-essential" joke that happens in the next episode, or that they simply had different styles for different employees.

I'd love to see a calendar or book with all of the Pawnee murals...they really make me laugh!
