Dr Dye ripoffs

[Bruce Brakel]

If you think it is a travesty of justice that some of my stuff never makes it to an IOS tournament, I have some pics at my glowphoto site in the May 2007 album.  I might sell them all this weekend, but if you post "dibs" today, you can have first dibs at normal IOS prices.  It is mostly Star, mostly 20 Brass, but the Yodas and the Warbirds are ESP.  If you need to know weights and molds, just ask.

And, maybe someone already has dibs on this one:

I'm testing a new masking product tonight.  If it works better than the stuff I have been using, I'll be able to produce a lot more of some of the cooler stuff I do, like the Bear, Yoda, that Eagle, and some of the other sticker stuff.  It might also make it much easier to produce cartoon characters, like my avatar or that penguine you may have seen or that other tiger. 

So I'm really excited.  Unfortunately, work has been a crush since worlds and I'm busy working right now. 

If this stuff works, I'm going to do about eight Bears right away.  With or without "2006-2007 NFC Champs"?

Bruce would you be able to do a sox logo on a start sidewinder  about 168-170 grams  please let me know  if you can and how much  Jim Fischer

[tacimala]

Yep and I'm still looking forward to the Pistons logo!

Black logo on white plastic?  I can do the logo and I'm going to do a few of them.  They will be much better than the last batch.  This new stuff I'm working with is AWESOME!!!  If anyone else wants a Sox disc, let me know.  I'll see if I have Star Sidewinders that weight.

Pistons logo is way too complicated.  I've done and could do Red Wings. 

Below, hopefully is a sample of the Bears disc I'm about to do six of.  The sticker will be a little smaller, but this new product gets much better adhesion and the final product is a lot cleaner.  If anyone wants one done on what you throw, let me know.  The price on these is the ordinary retail price for cash for the disc undyed, if you're paying cash.  It is four brass more if you are paying brass.  If you want me to dye your disc, $4. 

I'm also doing a set of Sox discs.  Same price.  The Sox discs will be sweet because with this new stuff I'll be able to get the thin piping around the edge of the letter.

Like that picture except on an orange disc so the white part is orange.

[stpitner]

I'm not interested in buying one, but I would be interested in seeing how one turns out.  Are you using a blue dye to go on the orange disc?  I've been curious to see how the dye color placed on a non-white disc turns out.  Blue + Orange = Brown in the art world, but I don't know how the dye soaks into the disc if the blue color will just turn darker or what.

<-- still learning

<-- would love to see (and maybe buy) some Cubs dyes.

<-- going to save up for a vinyl cutter and hopefully start dying too in a couple months!  Should be fun

When I do the blue on orange people say it comes out a really dark bluish purple, almost navy. 

I'll clean up the Cubs logo tonight and see what I can do.  If you want a bunch, I'll make you a deal.

What about the old school Pistons logo?

I can try to make a clean line art of the cubs logo as well.  There's one that's harder to do that I'd much prefer to have over the standard one (this one here):


That would be sweet

i'd love to have the clearwater cubs logo.... the cub w/a bat.

[stpitner]

wow, i just found this awesome website that is fantastic for pictures of logos!

http://www.sportslogos.net/team.php?t=54

That's the page for the Cubs.  The links towards the bottom have even more options.  Some aren't cleaned up very well, but the majority of the pics are great.

I haven't seen the logo you're looking for yet Mirth, but I haven't looked at all of the links yet either.

[mirth]

I'm sure its on there. The logo I'm talking about is more commonly known as the 1914 Cooperstown Franchise

[Bruce Brakel]

That would be really easy to do if we can find a good flat picture of it.  It would be so easy, I'd even do it by hand.  But if you wanted six or more, I could also mass produce it. 

[discmonkey]

I'd buy a Sox logo on one or both of these:

Orange 175 Cro
Orange 171ish FLX Buzzz

It would even be cooler to have one with the Script logo and one with the sock in the diamond logo.  Lemme know.  Thanks.

I'll look for those.  I have some Star Cros and FLX Buzzzes. 

I spent the past couple of hours cleaning up the Red Wings logo:

[Bruce Brakel]

The bears all turned out great.  No bleed.  Great detail.  The blue varies from a dark denim to a navy depending on the disc, the color perceiving members of my family say. 

No orange Cros at all.  I have a tangerine 172 FLX Buzzz.  Tangerine is more of a yellowish orange than an orange-orange.  I'll Sox it up and put your name on it.  If you don't like it, someone will. 

I'm hoping to have 30 or 40 Cubs, Sox, Bears, Yodas, and that eagle I do.  They will never be any cheaper than what I'll be asking for them at the Club Invitational. 

[discmonkey]

Awesome, I'll take the buzzz.     What color cros do you have?  If it's not too late, I may settle on another color (I really just don't want red.  Yellow, green, even white would be fine.  I guess I could have one disc in the bag that's not orange.  ).  btw, it's super cool you're doing this for us Bruce.  Not many Sox discs floating around out there.

[Bruce Brakel]

I'm having a problem removing hot stamps from FLX plastic.  Sometimes the acetone chews up the disc.  Always, the hotstamp stains the plastic.  If it was a red stamp on the tangerine disc, I'll take a chance on it. 

I did do a White Sox Star Cro.  I completely masked the disc so the outer areas should not get grey. 

Taylor, I could do this older Pistons logo:  http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?lo=4958

I don't want to mess with the current four-color logo.
