Graphics request (again)

LSThiker · January 28, 2014, 02:33:43 AM

I am looking for digital CAP specialty badges. I have found some but they have a tendency to be badly drawn. Or they do not include some functional areas (e.g. IG, personnel, history, medical). I did a search on CAPTalk but most of the links returned are no longer valid. Any one have a good site, preferably ones with color?

I have large libraries of most of them.

Can you do Dropbox?

If so, PM me with a linked email and I'll upload them.

I looked at the website and I did download some (command badge). But some were just not that great (no offense to any that drew them).

For example, the ES badge does not exactly have a smooth curve on the shield. Nor are the other functional areas in color. Also, legal and medical are missing.

I have those pretty clean - used them for my sig file.

If you post a list I can just upload the ones you want here.

Sent the link via PM

Basically, looking for as many as I can find. I am doing a presentation and if possible I would like to keep a consistent style throughout.

Setting up a public folder and then will post it here.

Actually, already had it posted from before:

Excellent. I have them. Thanks a ton.

Yep - as noted via PM, prob still a few missing. ITO, and it still has MLO instead of CDI, but most should be in there,
and most are pretty nice, or can have their warts edited easily.

This is something else NHQ should have posted, official, press-ready art for everything.

Hi preacher, this is the choir.

Dear God, don't ever tell NHQ that you've put this together...they'll never do it if they can't take credit for the idea.

So. Perfect. Just in time. Working on web sites. Wanted real graphics.

+1

Though I don't suppose anyone has ever come across (or created) a vector graphic of the Cadet Progs badge?

Thanks!

What are you making? I saw the post and made one, here's a first pass, I usually do them symmetrically by doing half, and flipping it.

They look nice- but I noticed wither an error in the graphics or in 39-1 and associated CP pams (or my lack of awareness on some ICL). They have the Master CP badge with a gold star, where in 39-1 its silver for master CP. The gold star for master is only in AE.

That should do nicely. Thanks!

Updating our encampment coin, among other things. I much prefer working up a "clean" design in Illustrator over muddling around with bitmaps.

Thanks again!
