I like #3, having the option for member number on the patch is awesome too.

Really cool designs, and awesome sketches. I like a lot of them. That's tough to say, as I've been doing graphic design for over 16yrs. You got the eye. Ability to have member numbers as an option is cool. It seems like you have an embroidery source that can customize em at need as it is. Build a design that works with and without the #.

This is a great idea! Could members purchase a few different regions or is it locked by where their address is located? What is they have places in various regions? I am sure we can order what we want I would imagine.

You can have however many you want! Either home region, where you have traveled, or both!

We're in the southwest region. The website is the only place that has the member map. And I believe its part of the top menu once your signed in.

Regions are not indicated on the Member Map, but that is a great idea. have to do that internationally too. I'll look into it!

Hey Steve, not necessarily "instead of". I was thinking something like this for travelled to states or home state:

But "stackable" one side would be "OB" One side state flag? Not sure about size. THis is all highly experimental at this stage, but something we are going to move on.

Holland! :D

But that was about the only thing I wanted to note.. Drawings look kick ass but as OB is growing far outside the US we need some international ones as well!

Great idea, Michael! Question for you: All the designs are round. Is this to keep to the form/formula of the member medallion or because it's easier for supplier of patches? Reason I ask is because if you could do other shapes, round for one region, oval for another, triangular or 5 sided etc., you could easily identify in a crowd which region someone is from from a little bit of a distance.

Thoughts?
