Do we have a garrison trading card template? I would love to get some made, but all information I've found has said to talk to garrison or detachment.
-
My wife's working on some trading cards. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions on colors, borders, fonts, etc?

It's looking pretty good to me. Nice job. My only couple suggestions would be to not use the light blue font color, it's really difficult to read on the light gray background behind it. And maybe make the picture of you on the front of the card a little bigger and more in the center so that you're more of the focal point? Right now, because the picture of you is smaller and off to the side my eyes are drawn immediately to the red background rather than onto you. But I'm weird like that. :)
-
Awesome! Is this intended to be a garrison card eventually? If so, maybe make the CCG logo bigger.
-
thanks for the input!
Yes, I am having her design them geared towards being a garrison card. She has several other borders, backgrounds, fonts that can be used for others preferences also. Once she has everything sized and sorted, it should be fairly easy to customize each one.
-
any specific backgrounds, borders, or colors anyone would like to see with their costumes? Or maybe send me some pics, and I can have her put them on different layouts.
-
To be consistant we should use one background so our cards look they are from the same garrison. From what I've seen of other garrisons they are the same. Maybe you could post some different versions and we could all vote?

Fantastic idea! I would like to get them for both my TR and my ISO.
-
I will gather up what she has and post some pics
-
Here is the link to some different backgrounds and borders. She used TB-2636 for example only, and that is not him in the photo, unless by some crazy chance the random TB pic she used is him.

I love that silver border that looks like it was shot out. Is it possible to number them so there is no confusion. :)
-
This link has more pics and I changed the names of the pics to numbers/letters for easy selection. Once you click on the first pic you can side arrow through them all.

These are great! Love #6 front and #1 back.
-
updated the link with a preview of Christina's front and back choice (although I wasnt sure if I picked the correct back)
Also, full body pics or half? Soooo many options :) We can change up the personal/info categories as well.
-
Ooooo!!! So many great choices!!
-
Very cool! When it comes time to order cards, some folks over at the BHG have been using this company for printing with decent results and good pricing:
http://gotprint.net/g/uploadCollectorsCard.do
The BHG guys running the card run mentioned that we're supposed to send copies of the cards to:
Steve Sansweet - LFL archives. Steve gets at least one of everything produced for the 501st.
Albin Johnson - Legion Archives. Albin asks for one signed and one unsigned for the legion archives.
If we end up doing a bunch of cards we can probably pool them together to mail out to the two guys and save some postage if folks want to save a buck or two on postage.
Keep up the great work! :cool:
-
Is it possible to send an email out to the Garrison to get folks to vote on a common card design? For ease of creation and for solidarity we should have just one, which is how other garrisons, detachments, and thr 501st fo it.

That's not me on the card but I think I would look the best on the 4th card. I like that layout. Have wanted to do cards for the last couple years now so count me in if its a go.
-
So for Kidsfest a few weeks ago I handed out a stack of cards while kids waited in line, and had a stack of cards sitting on the table. I think a lot of those on the table sat unnoticed, anyone have cool ideas on how to hand out cards when you're not in costume?
For big conventions like Rose City it might be fun to have a bunch of different cards kids can grab, maybe get an autograph when they get a picture with that trooper?
-
I'd love to get some cards made. I saw on 501st forums they are doing sign ups for new legion cards.
http://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=89572
For about $82 you get 2300 of your cards and two complete sets of 50 cards for the series you are in.
I'd love to find a cheaper alternative.
Luke, I like your idea about giving out autographed cards and then a picture.
-
the "gotprint" site that Luke shared, you can get 2500 cards for 54$ plus shipping. Also, can buy as few as 100 cards. I posted some samples of card designs somewhere up there in this thread, didnt get too many votes so it kind of got back burnered. Maybe its time to fire it back up.
-
We hadn't gotten much response to picking one card design. .
:). It's fun to have garrison cards, detachment cards and legion cards. :)
-
I am seconding your vote for #6 front, and tweeking the back a little. I want to try and put the 10 year CCG logo on the back.
-
Maybe we can toss up a poll in the merch section of the forums and see how that goes? I like the idea of adding something about the 10th anniversary of CCG/KB too.
-
Chris I can start a thread on the merch page for the cards can you attach the images?
-
sure can. All of them, or the top 2 choices so far?
-
Let's do the top 2 and see what folks have to say. Would your wife be up to putting cards together for folks? I know I'm know good at that kind of thing. Someone would need to create the card so individuals can send them for printing.
-
I took a look at them again and maybe we should include more options. The only ones that don't fit are thr bamboo backgrounds as they are more specific to the scout. You also had a few from your Maul file that would work too. I'll try and download them and add then to the poll so we don't have to do a back and forth.

I ordered some decals on FISD and got this card with the order:

I love this design, retro Topps SW card.
-
I like that card a LOT! Makes me want to dig out the old cards....
-
There have been a few bases doing the retro style cards, I've gotten a few myself through various orders. Always thought that they were pretty neat, I must admit.
-
So here's a new card option I've never seen before... I got a couple cards from the 501st Mexico garrison with an order I had and they're 3D holographic cards. Sheesh. The costumer is 3D and the logo switches between the 501st logo and the garrison logo as you move the card. It's quite a card. XD
-
That sounds pretty expensive have you found a company that would print something like that and priced it out?
-
Here is the updated card, anniversary logo was added and the back was changed up. The idea on the back is to have a normal face picture in the box, and whatever picture of you in the faded background. We can use multiple backgrounds for the front so it works with whatever costumes. Signature box near the bottom.
The front was one of the two with the most votes in the poll, the back is much different (we only had 2 to choose from in the poll) Maybe we do another poll?
