House Spiral "Sigil" / Flag

WTF IS House Spiral.  Well its "my real family" That'd be people like (My mom, Bobbi, Marblez, David , Moe, Kat, Marco, Don Crumb, Rosey Blue, Paul Ferguson, Shaun Radford, Tron, Trene... until just recently grandma / sniffles... by no means a complete list) plus things that are associated with ... I don't have kids but "my babies" (DGN / YouTube / The Gathering).   Plus the Motto of Truth and Kindness (could write a book on both concepts and how they interact / contradict sometimes)  Word is your bond and all that.  Are you part of house spiral? Well if you think you are, then you are.  The real thing Im wondering about is....

 

Swirly thing with the bat guy in the middle (DeeGee)? That was supposed to be the "House Spiral Sigil/Flag" But Tron / Trene told me that spiral pattern might give some people seizures.   Is it just the spiral itself that does that?   I thought I finally had the  HS sigil done.  Does that mean I'm just going to have to accept that some people can't look at a spiral?

moving spirals are more likely to cause issues. 

For online, the colors and shape of the lines you have are fine. if you were to have an actual physical flag made, it might cause issues if it were to flap in the wind, in its current spiral form. you could tone down the stark contrast, and straighten the spiral slightly. enough that it wouldn't mimic a spinning spiral, if it were to move in the wind, but keep its shape enough that people get the idea.

Just my opinion *shrugs*

good ideas.   Although cop lights apparently give some people seizures and they still use them...  this has to be more important than cop lights lol.

If we weren't struggling to eat and pay our bills, I would also like a hoodie with this on it. or maybe a large patch to put on a hoodie. either way... 

Well there is DGN money, not a ton but some.  It was going to go toward pre-paying (with the idea that we would get people to send the money for the tickets to us , and we would have a block of seats all together)for a Star Wars outing but tina was handling it and I think she got sick/busy or something as the idea was to go on opening day and I've heard nothing back.  So thats 90 bucks there.   Not sure if there would be or how much a "minimum purchase" would be to get merchandise like that made.

 

I actually was thinking about maybe a little figurine of DeeGee (the guy in the middle of the flag) also maybe some sort of enamel pin pin?  Necklace charm?  Just throwing out ideas. .   Lot of different things we could do, and if we hit on something that most people want (realistically we probably could only do 1 thing) we could probably get people to donate specifically to get whatever it is merch wise off the ground. 

 

Somehow cost wise a quality decal or something seems more realistic, but I'm open to everything.  Wish I was still working.

I'd buy a T shirt or a good pin for my leather? but 'white'?! Can't we do white on black? I can't wear white..

 

White is the primary color that is used on black leather (if anything other than silver hardware) for us weirdos.   "Fuck This" say... scrawled on the back of a leather jacket ... best color would be white.    If this was put on anything primarily black it would stand out the way we would want it to.  If you mean like say a white T shirt with this on it, no I wouldn't even have that as an option, it would be a black shirt.   If it was jewlery it would be silver and black , although in that case it would likely be just our bat guy with a silver outline.   Still all just ideas.  (If your worrying about that white border , thats just there ... becasue it was easiest to make it that way at the time, would re-make the whole thing when it came time to actually get a product made. :)

Teespring! I think that's what it's called. they print the design, people buy it. But I think there is a minimum requirement? look into it. they have many options. hoddie, shirts, tanks, etc. And sizes up to 5x, I believe.... but.... they run from like $25 and up. 

It might be a start. 

Honestly, diy- ing a screenprinter and some ink/paint, and whatever you wanna print on... might be way cheaper. tie- dye companies sell clothing in bulk. 

I wonder if it would be possible to find someone who does 3d printing for the bat in the center? 

I'm not as helpful as I am trying to be... I'm having an insomnia flair and I've been up a while...

So the design is white, but on a black shirt? I'm in!

    • So I just got back from Happy Endings and I saw @DJ Saintthere.  He told me that after I got kicked out of High Dive that later on Mike also attacked him, and Mike and his crew were also kicked out.  Then we talked about the scene and possible upcoming gigs.  I hope something comes his way soon, as well as mine too.  With the current economy I think more club owners will be hungry to try more things like goth/industrial/other alternative nights.  I've also heard that GenZ isn't online dating and is actually going out into the world to meet people which may also help business owners, though they aren't drinking which doesn't really help much.  I think more places are going to need to start serving food and mocktails to make up the difference. Then Mike showed up at Happy Endings which I thought was highly likely because I hadn't seen him there in a while, and @DJ Aaron Hingst,@elektrosonik, and his husband Tim were all there too.  He did something else I wasn't expecting...  Which was he actually shook my hand and said it was good to see me, which caught me a little off guard.  He didn't apologize for anything but it's a start I think.  I told him I was sorry to hear about @djpleasurekitten's passing (which I was/am.  Despite the rift that ended up existing between us we were friends at one point.) So maybe he's moving on finally?  If so then I'm glad.  I'm still not sure if I'll ever go back, but it is at least a start, and it's nice to actually see he's trying to bury the hatchet in something other than my skull.
    • Stargate Universe, which everyone said sucked but I'm actually enjoying it? Like there are less jokes, but lots of dark humor, and people might actually die rather than have 10ft thick plot armor?  Yes please more of this!
    • Failbook is blocked so I can't see any of the info. "Oh you don't need to login to view!"

Those IPs for v4 and v6 mean they lead to the HTTP equivalent of /dev/null X/Twitter is blocked too.  I need to block Alphabet/Google and Microsoft as well, but they're actually useful for certain things (damn you YouTube and GitHub!)
