Patch - UPDATE

[NJRaider]

Hey guys -

I posted my preliminary design for the patch here http://raiderperformance.com/patches.htm, along with a couple of comments - check it out and let me know what you think.

The design and simple and straightforward, which will let it be bold and stand out. Like we said before, we can get a lot more intricate with the design (an outline of the motor, etc...) when we do a t-shirt.

[ao]

i like it as far as the colors you could do three differnt(red,black, and blue) i would love to put one on my jaket with a red background. the colors you picked for the raider will be sweet seen that done i believe its as close to chrome as you can get with string ;D

[WaRaider]

Looks good, I had a thought. I know I don't have to many of them. LOL. what about putting the engine right under the word Raider. we could put Star motorcycles right under the engine and put 113 on the air cover. just me thinking out loud again. The voices told me to say that. LOL

[NJRaider]

That's actually what I was thinking too, for the t-shirt. I started sketching the motor yesterday - a little harder than I thought :cus:

...and don't worry about the voices :o ;)

[Red_Raider]

What about having the word 'Attitude' somewhere in there?

[Blue Angel]

NJ can you come to chat room for some conversation about the patches...Thx

[RollaRaider]

Patch is looking great, I do like the idea for the patch to have the engine under the name with 113 on it. Good job guys.

[Blue Angel]

Thanks NJ for coming to chat room and listen to my idea's, sorry I get disconnected for a short while and u left before I thank you.
The patch that you made look great.

I love to see the final part of this project.
Ben

[goodolbikerboy]

how about putting "harley eater" on the patch. jk lol

[gc_raider]

How about "No Harley Daisy"

[Nomadken]

NJRaider (Luke)
Sorry I missed your phone call.
I had a funeral to go to today then too many meetings when return.

I am working on the Raider logo to put it into a CAD format so we can use it for many things.
The first is a large sign for garage wall.
If anyone is interested let us know about Raider signs or other machined graphics you may want
for your bikes.
I'm working on a few designs.
I'm thinking powder coated billet for special effects with Raider styling cues.

Let me know what you all think.

Also, I'm working on a fabric cover that will fit on the handle bars, stretch out and hook to the rear fender in some manner. The purpose of this cover is to provide a covering for sun, bird droppings, tree sap and rain. It won't take the place of a full bike cover but will be something you could put in a very small bag or even your pocket when you go out for a short run and want to stop and park for a while and not have your bike exposed to heat from the sun or bird stuff. It will also say, stay off my bike. I'm thinking about a Raider wording imprinted on the cover.
Anyone interested in this?

Best,

Ken

[NJRaider]

Hey Ken -

no problem - I'm sorry to hear about the circumstances.

I'll have my phone with me all day, so shoot me a call when you're free.

I like the cover idea you're talking about too. The "keep off" value of something like that is just as important as the protection from the elements. Little kids see shiny bits on a bike like this and think "jungle gym"

[VtwinWS6]

How about something like "113 inches of Raw Attitude"

My two cents worth :)

[VtwinWS6]

You know...the mind is a terrible thing to waste. I was so proud of myself for coming up with that last one....113 inches of Raw Attitude...Only to realize that Luke has that same saying up on the raiderperformance.com home page.

The mind is a terrible thing to waste. Did I say that already?

[NJRaider]

Don't sweat it, Jeff :beer2:

I didn't exactly think of it myself - I kinda "borrowed" it from here

http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/products/modelhome/588/0/home.aspx

[ao]

so when do you think they will be availible for purchase nj

[vintagecar1957]

Hey NJRider

Why don't you let me take a crack at this?
I'll see if I can come up with a few ideas.
I'm a professional graphic designer for over 25 years.
http://creativegraphx.com/

I'd like to incorporate the Star Motorcycles oval logo into it.

Okay, here's an idea: http://creativegraphx.com/raider/raider-1.html
Let me know what you think.

[NJRaider]

Rudy -

I like it, very cool.

I'd definitely welcome any contribution you want to make.

[Blue Angel]

Rudy,
That is cool, Just let me know when the patch is ready and how I can get one. I am ordering the San Antonio Leather mesh jacket from Star web site. That would be perfect for that Jacket.

Thanks guys, looking forward to see the final project.

[vintagecar1957]

I put the "patch" idea on the San Antonio jacket:
http://creativegraphx.com/raider/raider-1.html

Might be a bit redundant, what with that jacket already having the Star oval logo on it.
I'm going to call NJRider tomorrow and discuss some more ideas.
Perhaps we could actually have more than one version, sizes, and work on some colors.


Rudy

[Blue Angel]

Hi Rudy, can I talk to you in chat room for few minutes...Pls

[gc_raider]

Like it!!!!!
Sign me up for a couple of these patches

GC

[Mr. T]

I like it... a lot. With the Star Logo.

Would like it on the back of a T-Shirt(s)... .. bigger... with/without sleeves... different colors... etc.

Can you say coffee mug?

Hey... I'm just gettin' started... ;D

[Mudslide73]

Love that patch! would definetly get one or two or three .......

[Nomadken]

Rudy,
I sent you a private message regarding the patch.
Send me a reply if you are on line.
Best,
Ken

[ao]

i like it, i would really love it with a red back ground(to match my s) and do you think yall will have differnt sizes. what i mean is i only have room for about 6" high and bout a foot long cause there is already tribal flames on my jacket ;D

[WaRaider]

I am in for a couple of the red ones

[RaiderRyder]

I am interested also in patches and t-shirts
and the cover was a good idea also
Damn Birds.

[Massraider]

i like the logo,i would be interested in a t-shirt or long sleeve with
a logo going down the arms

[NJRaider]

Rudy - sent you a PM, let me know what you think

[Massraider]

thats what i was looking for,
thanks nj

[Blue Angel]

Rudy,

Is funny that massraider said that. This is exactly I wanted to talk to you about.Pls chk the following links 1st:
http://www.motorcycle-usa.com/Photos/08_star_raider_main.JPG
"http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh164/ben11727/2008%20Raider%20S/a300.jpg"
This is one idea:
I would like to see the star logo(the small circle ) and the word STAR under it, for the front of a hat and the big and long RAIDER word in a same color for the back of the hat.

Next idea:
I would like to see the Raider motorcycle in a oval shape logo in front of the shirt and two stars at the sides, On the sleeve word CHAPTER and our local chapter #.same color combination.

Also the logo you create is perfect for the jacket. I would be interested to have few of them.
I PM you so if you would like or have time to talk about these idea's, Pls let me know what you think.
Thank you.
Ben

[Rokr]

Love the design...would like to see the textured version without the star logo as well. In any case, have you found a company to produce these yet NJ? I'm chomping at the bit to get some made and may have to hit up a local patch shop (near the AF base) to make me some (with Rudy's permission).

Cheers!
Nelson

[vintagecar1957]

From Ruedi, designing some ideas
I have another idea to look at.
After talking to NJRaider, we might NOT be able to utilize the STAR oval because of copyright issues.
Apparently we are okay with the "RAIDER" type, since I redrew it, and the marketing company did not send us the original.
I designed a patch that would look great by itself, or directly beneath the STAR oval, if that's what you wanted.
That's how I want mine done!
You can see it at the bottom of this page:
http://creativegraphx.com/raider/raider-1.html

These would likely be larger patches for a jacket or vest back.
I'll work up some smaller ideas for the front "pocket" location, or perhaps sleeve, and even hats.

Rudy......... (Denver, CO)

P.S. I will be sending some pictures for consideration for the main page after this weekend. I just dropped off my bike for it's first service, PLUS, my wheels and rear pulley finally arrived! I had them chromed!!!!
Woo Hoo! :wave:
No such thing as too much Chrome!
Especially on the Red "S" (the fast one...!)

[NJRaider]

Rudy -

Those look amazing - incredible work

[gc_raider]

will ya'll quit the yap and get on with it!!!
They're perfect!!!
Outstanding job Rudi!!!

I just gotta have the last one, I need at least three of them.
When are ya'll gonna have them ready?????

GC

[Blue Angel]

Rudy, these are awesome, just let us know how we can get them. I love to get at list few of them.
Thanks again.

[Raven]

Great job Rudy I personally like the first one. Count me in for acouple plus one for my ball cap. By the way no need for the blue or red ones black goes good with everything lolololol :coolsmiley:

[vintagecar1957]

I like the first one too, but I don't think we would have permission to use the STAR oval as part of it.
The bottom one is the best way I could think of to get around that.

http://creativegraphx.com/raider/raider-1.html

It would work well as a stand alone, or with the factory STAR oval on top of it.
That's what I plan on doing on the back on my leather vest.

NJRaider and I are working on this to figure out where to get them made up.
Info will be posted as soon as we get it.

Rudy..........!

[IndyRaider]

I personally like the oval-less version, but would rather have the "113 Cubic Inches of Raw Attitude" wording from the original design. Maybe I'm the only one, but I would like to see it being a purely raider inspired patch, and you can rep. Star Motorcycles on their own patches. The last thing I am is ashamed of my raider being a star motorcycle, I'm quite proud of it. But I like the star patch idea fitting directly above the raider patch, and I really like the wording of 113 Cubic Inches of Raw Attitude.

Let me know if anyone agrees, or if I'm the only one that finds it redundant to put the star motorcycles on the patch if it will be directly below a star motorcycles oval.

Nonetheless, those patches are ALL amazing Rudy!!
Thanks guys,
Jake

[WaRaider]

I really the the designs. I have to agree with indy. If the patch has the star logo above it, everyone will know it is a Star motorcycle. I like the "113 Cubic Inches of Raw Attitude".

[RaiderRyder]

I agree with IndyRaider
I like the "113 Cubic Inches of Raw Attitude" wording from the original design I was looking at the the two and thought the same thing.

[vintagecar1957]

Okay, here's the final patch design: http://creativegraphx.com/raider/raider-1.html

The general consensus was not to say STAR MOTORCYCLES on the Raider patch.
If you do want to combine it with the STAR oval patch, it would be redundant.
Here is the final. I do need some input from anyone wanting to combine the 2 patches as to what size
STAR oval patch you like better?
It comes in more than one size. (Link on my patch design page)

Now everybody sign that petition so we can get those Vance and Hines - Jeff Palheygi Pipes made!!!!!

[Blue Angel]

Not bad Rudy, I like it, is cool. When can we get the patch. I am looking to get a few of them for my jackets and vest.
Very good job Rudy..Congratulation to both of you and NJ.

Thanks Guys for all your hard works.
Ben

[Rokr]

Rudy / NJ,

Thanks much for the effort on this. A thought occured to me that I wanted to share...some riders (like me) are members of the national/local Star Touring and Riding and have the large Star patch on our vest/jacket.

Here's a reference image: http://www.startouring.org/viewimage.aspx?id=413

In any case, will you have smaller patches available for the front or sides of a vest? I want one for my vest, but the back is already showing my Star patch and chapter so a large version for the back is not an option.

Thanks again!

[WaRaider]

Ruedi, NJ, great patch, I love it. Will be glad to buy a few when you find a vendor. Thanks for your hard work and effort

[gc_raider]

It's perfect Rudy!!
Who's in charge of production and why are they taking so long????

GC

[Sleepercell]

Hey Vintagecar1957

You had a black and White logo of the raider patch that I think would be cool as a window decal. Would like to know if it is ok to us and if so if I could get it to make a window decal from. I would make you one if you would like as well. Free of course.

[vintagecar1957]

Okay, here is the FINAL patch idea.
NJRaider will check on the pricing, and the time frame and that info will be posted as soon as we have it.
Since we had a lot of different ideas about what the patch should say,
we are going to look into 2 versions of the patch.

http://creativegraphx.com/raider/raider-1.html

Thanks for all your input!
please, no more suggestions, I can't make 25 versions of this patch!!!

[RaiderRyder]

Thanks Rudy
Love the "113 Cubic Inches of Raw Attitude" on the patch
Great job
Liv2Ryd
Chuck

[gc_raider]

Two to choose from is even better.

GC

[FaZt1]

Hey Rudy,

Can I get you to change a couple of things on that for me?




hehehe ;D Just kidding


Great job ... likin' them both!

[FEISTY]

ENOUGH SAID WHEN CAN WE BUY THEM?

[IndyRaider]

Rudy,
ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL!!!! I know we are all so unbelievably thankful for all the effort yourself and NJ have both put into this project. I, like so many of us, am incredibly excited to get my hands on one. In fact I intend to order small and large sizes of BOTH variations. Thank you so much for putting up with all of the input we've been slinging your way through this post.

As a side note (probably shoulda mentioned this before), while it does appear you and NJ have a source already mapped out for getting these whipped up, I am involved partially in the textile industry, and have many contacts that I'm sure could be of some use in production of these and other textile-related items...should the need ever arise. Again....probably shoulda mentioned that when this project was in its' infancy a long time ago...
Thanks again,
Jake

[vintagecar1957]

Hi Jake,

Contact NJRaider. I think he's just getting prices right now.
Oh, and we don't have 2 sizes, we have 2 styles.
The patch is 9" wide x 3-1/2" tall.
I designed it so the curve at the top would match up nice a tight with the smaller 3-1/2 inch wide STAR oval, in case someone wanted to combine them.

I suppose I could make some smaller ones later, for the front, for shirt pockets, sleeves, etc.
We'll see what kind of time I have.

Still have to take care of my business you know.....!

Ruedi......

RIDE SAFE AND RIDE OFTEN!!!!!

[LADMarines]

I see that there are a lot of people that want these. when are they gona be produced. I WANT ONE!!!
