Updated store

[andysocial]

OK, in a continuing effort to waste lots of time and amuse myself, I've added a whole boatload of new items to my Store. Finally got tired of waiting for the help of friends, and pulled out Adobe Illustrator to make my own crest and such. Now, I've added a bunch of brightly colored items, especially aimed at those of us who spent way too much time in Korea, but maybe you know someone who would be amused by a Military Intelligence mug or something.

At least vote to keep me on the T-Shirt Countdown list. I'm 15 and holding right now, but I'd sure like to be in the top 10, just because I'm pathetic like that.

Friends meaning me. There doesn't seem to be anything online and there really isn't any good local image that anyone seems to know of, but I'll check...

Nothing on local web folders, nothing on the net. Sorry. But yours looks great.

Unsurprising

I swear, whenever a unit builds a logo, they need to ensure that it is available easily. I ran into this constantly while I was in. Except for the divisions, all the patches on that "door" graphic I made with photos and Illustrator tracing.

Here at JITC, they recently passed around the new version of their logo, embedded in a Powerpoint show. It's the only way they can envision graphics, apparently. I asked the sharing person if there was some way to get the (obviously original) vector version for ease in scaling. She had no clue what I meant, passed my request on to the webmaster, who sent me a Photoshop document that he claimed was the vector version. Well, DUH, PSD files are raster, but at least it's a higher-res version. How tough is this anyway?

I do have a very nice vector version of the 501st "Veritas" dragon logo, though.

I've had to do a lot of original art that I shouldn't have, a lot of times, as well. There are always sites with the shoulder patches and sometimes some of the more famous crests (SF and 75th Rgr seem popular), but 102d MI? Pfft!
