The two styles

Both marks, side by side

Every item below carries one of these two marks. Both are approved artwork used as they are — nothing here is redrawn for a product.

Stickers, patches & pins

Stickers, patches & pins

The small goods: die-cut stickers in all three marks, plus a woven patch and an enamel pin.

Die-cut sticker set

Main mark, Tequila Tuesday and TGIT

Proposed print: Full color, die-cut to shape

Retro western badge

Modern agave speech-bubble

Die-cut sticker sheet with the modern Tequila Tuesday mark
Die-cut sticker sheet with the modern TGIT mark

Sticker shapes are die-cut, so a round mark sits inside a square or scalloped cut. The starburst and stadium cuts were left out of this set because a round mark spills past their points.

Woven patch & enamel pin

Patch about 3 in, pin about 1 in

Proposed print: Full-face print or embroidery inside the border and rim

Retro western badge

Woven patch and enamel pin, both carrying the retro western badge mark

At pin scale the full marks get tight: the badge's banner spans nearly edge to edge, and the modern mark's script sits left of center. A simplified version of either mark would sit better on a 1 in pin — that is a design decision, not something to redraw quietly.

What happens next

Pick the designs, then the store

  1. 1. Choose which pieces move forward, and which mark each one carries.
  2. 2. Say whether the pin needs a simplified mark at 1 inch, or the pin is dropped.
  3. 3. Agree prices and a fulfillment route, then the pieces become real products in the shop.
