Subdued GeoCaching.com Patch Update


Recommended Posts

Folks, I just received a note from Bryan at Groundspeak and had a pleasant chat with him on the phone. After several back-and-forths with the supplier to get the correct colours for the subdued logo patch nailed down, it would appear that Bryan is now but one step away from seeing him (the supplier) 'get it right'. The latest attempt (see picture below) would have been perfect, if only the lime green detailing had instead been done in the same olive-drab used in the background. Bryan tells me that he'll have the supplier make the correction and - hopefully - we'll soon see the long awaited subdued patch available for sale.

That is nice for the green-country crowd.

 

Perhaps they will then do one in tan-brown for us desert folks. I would buy a few of them for sure.

I like the green as it is. If you make it the same as the background (I figure you are going for the lighter one), it would be too "subdued." Also, if you make it the same as a background color, you lose not only contrast for the key feature, but violate the "three color" rule of basic design. Am I missing something? It seems "subdued" yet pleasing to me as is.

The forum discussion over the colours for the proposed subdued design took place months ago, and it's the resulting design from that (rather lengthy) discussion - after being reviewed and approved by the folks at Groundspeak - which Bryan is now working hard towards getting produced.

Perhaps, if(when!) Groundspeak sees how well the OD patch finally turns out and sells, they'll give the idea of a subdued 'desert' version serious consideration as well (if I were living in your neck of the woods, I'd sure lobby for it!). I think that it really boils down to the demand for an item - that is, the quantity that Groundspeak can reasonably expect to sell - warranting their effort and expense to produce it. Aesthetically, I should think that a subdued 'desert' patch could be just as agreeable to TPTB as the OD version (if done using the same 'with due respect to logo integrity' approach). It's probably just a question of how many people would be interested enough to actually buy them.
