Olham 164 Posted December 8, 2013 I should have waited til I'd had my second cup of coffee. Me too, sorry, Sirs! After my usual evening quota of brandy I can still follow the rules - but often by devious means... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted December 8, 2013 Stwike him, Centuwion, vewy woughly!...and fwow him to the fwoor! Beanie lad, we don't provide you with any kit apart from our spiffing BOC badge.True, for the most part, but there is "The Calibration Test". When the bartender signals "Last Call", we require the new initiate to swagger the length of the bar. If the swagger is found wanting, we re-position the stick.

Dej 17 Posted December 8, 2013 However, prior discussions notwithstanding, I do believe that the momentous occasion of WOFF being truly in production, combined with the new barminess afforded our little band by the adoption of 'The Dodo's Chorus' warrants a change in the badge design. I therefore offer the following for consideration, but if we prefer to stick to the old, all well and good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beanie 4 Posted December 8, 2013 Apologies for being improperly dressed, having problems getting the BOC badge into my signature. Still walking funning after the stick incident! Must have had to many celebration drinks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wayfarer 5 Posted December 8, 2013 It's certainly shiny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjw 48 Posted December 8, 2013 I really do like the design, but I think it needs a little patina added to it. It certainly doesn't look aged and tarnished enough to go with our BOC nature eh what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RamblingSid 3 Posted December 9, 2013 Hello chaps, bit late - mind unhinged by WOFF excitements. Welcome Beanie, large pink gin thanks. If they haven't got pink light green will do. BWOC BWOC? Sounds like you blokes have been at the Turkish ciggies again . Waiter, some WOFFair thin mints for these people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) . Oooh Matron! Is that a dodo in my trousers? Outstanding Dej, just beautiful, and I like the banner being situated such that one is reading it correctly. I approve! And hellooooo RamblingSid, good to see you're still about Sir. As to those turkish cigs, we've been into those for quite some time now. . Edited December 9, 2013 by RAF_Louvert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 9, 2013 . I vote we make it official and adopt Dej's latest effort as our new club badge. It keeps with our traditions while acknowledging the newest OFF incarnation. All in favour say, "BWOC BWOC BWOC!" . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hauksbee 103 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Steady on, Lou. One "Bwoc" is sufficient. There's a good fellow. . That said, I'm all for adoption. (But who'd have me?) Edited December 9, 2013 by Hauksbee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HumanDrone 4 Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) I was wondering what you good men would do when WOFF came out! but the more important question is, ARE YOU STOCKING THE BAR??? We are looking at imminent release, men, and we must be suitably oiled up! BWOC! BWOC! BWOC! (I can has new badge, or must we wait for release?)

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 9, 2013 . HumanDrone, no worries on the bar stock. The first half of the order arrived today from the local brewery, and the distillers made their delivery last Friday. We should be good until New Year's. BWOC BWOC BWOC!

Dej 17 Posted December 9, 2013 Bwoc, Bwoc, Bwoc! I like the motto. Well, the motto is meant to remind us of the 'Fifteen feet and he flies inverted' line. Everything 'BOC' should be upside down and/or back to front. I hear tell that some ambitiously barmy members have experimented with reversed airscrews in hope of driving a machine backwards. Fortunately none have been injured when their engine has ripped itself apart! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dej, that was nice work on the BWOC logo, and I sure got a chuckle over the orientation of the banner. "tis a Badge I'd be proud to wear! And as you can see, inverted is my usual modus operandi... Note to our non US friends: an Amber Alert is a bulletin that goes out when a child goes missing. No offense intended, I just can't pass on a pun....

Olham 164 Posted December 9, 2013 Dej, you are the goldsmith for the club's works - wonderful new badge, Sir! Can you deliver them to us? Maybe I could have mine as a PNG file with a transparent background? Then I can try all sorts of coloured velvet with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumanDrone 4 Posted December 10, 2013 Ooooh, I like that! Transparent background, that is. Little easier to work with, as you note. But I'm still trying to work out which part is upside down... Guess I'll have another round, if Beanie's still buying! Maybe i'll have another round even if Beanie ISN'T still buying. Maybe two rounds. MAybe I'll just kepp going until something looks right side down, or wrong side up, or inside out or something. And I'm 'way too late with my Contact! (tink...tink... tink...) Clear!

Dej 17 Posted December 10, 2013 (edited) I've given Lou the versions with a CombatAce background (the 'official' version) as he's the official awarder of the badge. He also has the final word on how it may be used - and he may well frown on attempts to make it pink, for example. But for those that can't resist fiddling with it here are two .png versions, one with all the drop shadow and illumination (DLT) and a transparent background, the other just with the transparent background (T) Have Fun!

RAF_Louvert 101 Posted December 10, 2013 . PINK! Gawd no. I think everyone who is displaying the old BOC badge should switch and use either the top version of the png you've just posted, (if they need one without a background), or use the jpeg you posted earlier in this thread. This will maintain at least some semblance of continuity. So, to review, grab and use this png image if you want no background; resize to fit your signature block: Or, grab and use this jpeg image if you want the CA background; resize to fit your signature block: Make it so Gentlemen, make it so. .

Dej 17 Posted December 10, 2013 Ironic this is. I've changed my signature to include the new badge, uploaded it to My Gallery here, copied the image link below from the Options dropdown and pasted into my signature code http://combatace.com/index.php?app=gallery&module=images§ion=img_ctrl&img=26930&file=max All looks hunky-dory on the signature page, i.e. the image is there and working... I go to save it and get this error message: Oops! Something went wrong!Unable to retrieve signature image dimensions, please try another image. Anyone got any ideas?
