UPDATE: These are NOT badges! They are PATCHES! All badges will remain the same as they are now. Membership has one badge - they all look the same. These are patches for Members who want to represent their region as they travel.

Love the idea. Liked #5 a lot. I do like the idea of the different regions having a different patch design for sure. Definitely like the member number as well but customization gets to be a real pain the rear with embroidery and tends to drive the costs way up. Maybe have a separate member tab you can get with your member number as its own patch.

YES PLEASE!!!!! This would be a great way to show where you are from. #5&6 look great. And the idea of an accompanying member patch is a great idea @Maverick9110E [emoji1303].

I think the membership # is what makes this community so unique. You know that the person is vested into the same thing, and not just a keyboard warrior. Patch with the member # for me.

All the sketches look awesome @Michael

My Choices:
Northwest: 4, 5, 6
Midwest: definitely 14 (the one on top of the page, cuz you have 2 with the same number)
Southwest: 8 ( but, you need to come up with more choices, I am from the southwest, I would want more choices to help you choose, ours look too simple compare to the awesome scenery of the northwest and midwest.. lol...)

I will buy all 3 regardless hahaha...specially if I like the others better..lol.....they all look cool though....haha...but those are my top choices....hope that is of any help. the more choices for us to buy the better too...cuz everyone has different taste.

make them color patches, that'd be cool

Not badges! Patches! For folks who want to represent their region as they travel.
Are you thinking just regions, or regional divisions, like New England, mid-Atlantic, East North Central, West North Central, etc? I think the divisions would be cool because they are more localized and people are really proud of where they come from. There are 9 divisions total vs. 4 regions (according the US Census Bureau).

Yes for member number, and since I'm midwest, I like #14. Or 12 or the unnumbered one, but not #13 with the sun radials.

Once upon a time, we were going to be doing rockers for the current patch with our region underneath. Is this instead?
