Expanded MoPac Patch Design
Whitefish Curling Club
Since ya'll kinda like my initial entry, AND the Whitefish Curling Club
is applying for membership as we speak, here is the entire vision.
Main Patches will be BOTH digitally printed (sublimation) to hold
ALL the detail and color. All the text AND borders will be embroidered.
Individual ROCKERS for each club are sold separately, as are the
'Instructor' rockers.
I have requested a few quotes for this kind of custom work and
will pass along when they arrive so we know what costs may be.

Hi John, fellow MoPac members,
Just one question about the design - do you think it would be nice o have something in the logo that symbolizes curling?
I like the wave (Hokusai) and the Mountains. But, there is no symbol (stone/rings/broom)
for the curling sport itself.
I went onto the USCA site - see what the other regions have and the attached word document is what I could find. Most do have some type of curling 'symbol' in the logo.
Thought I'd ask...Thanks for getting this going again.
bye, loreen m.

Well, yes, but here is my thinking:
First, I wanted to see what the feedback was.
Second, I was wondering if curling, at least on an Association level,
was ready to no longer have to explain itself by adding some sort of
equipment to it's identifying images.
Manchester United doesn't have a soccer ball...
The NHL doesn't have a puck...
Budweiser doesn't have bubbles...
And finally, I considered that most folks who would sew a patch
to their jacket would also have their club patch, which no doubt
would have some sort of stone, broom or house.
Although...
I did notice that some nice brooms crossed behind the patch
would balance the rockers very nicely...
Or maybe even a 'rising house' peeking up over the mountains.
Design is such a hoot!, Especially design by committee.
Bring on the ideas and comments... I love it!
