I am planning to create a set of KGB apparel that will be offered at cost to all members. This will give everyone a chance to represent KGB!
I am thinking of T-Shirts and Men's and Ladies Polo shirts either silk screened or embroidered with KGB logos.
Please submit your entries in this thread or email to gm@the-kgb.com . Please include a small logo on the right front chest, and something on the back.
If there are entries, I will post a public vote and the guild as a whole will pick a winner.
The winner not only gets to have their image represent us, but I will pre-order the deluxe version of AOC as well as pay for your monthly fee for 1 year!
Please submit your entry by April 15th 2007. No late entries will be accepted as I am leaving for Alaska on the 15th to return May 11th.
I will post the entries for voting on Midnight of the 15th. Voting will be open for 5 days.
Feel free to use any KGB images in your entry. You can find the different logos in the KGB Constitution, Armed Forces Pages, as well as http://w3.the-kgb.com/rank .
Good luck and I hope to see some impressive entries.

Guys, you can design KGB underwear if you like. Just get me some standard logos to judge.

What are you talking about? I wear polos all the time at work. T shirts are too trashy to display seriously.

That depends, we made them really tasteful back in the UO days. Our Oregon meeting we were able to go to different events, and claim that KGB was different organizations.
We played a brewing guild at an Octoberfest in Portland, and got free beer and sausage.
Its all in the design.

ya but a lot of places can't get past the KGB or the mention of beer. I know that my webspace is blocked from my moms work because it's tied to alcohol so she can't even access my kgb site when she's at work of all the kids pictures lol.
Small events like that I think it would be fine but some sort of professional job where you are under scrutiny or something like that you won't be able to wear it. We had a contest like this not too many years ago I can't remember if it was during WoW or Vanguard but didn't a logo get submitted and approved for KGB gear but then nothing had came out of it.

The apparel site was owned by a former KGBer who left on bad terms.
I am starting from scratch.

Here is an original Left Chest proposal from the last attempt. Problem is the old KGB coat of arms is low res. Anyone want to try and clean it up?
Its lost its roundness.
I would even be partial to a new coat of arms.

I wear polo shirts to work nearly every day. It's almost engineering standard for the software guys I work with. And if I can wear my Real Men Wear Kilts shirt to work with no one batting an eye, I'll bet I will have no problem wearing a KGB shirt as well.

Yeah I don't see a problem with a polo, although a hoodie might also be pretty sweet,

I think I redid that shield a few years ago. . . .
color-wise it's easy enough to change. I just have
to make sure I still have the geometry somewhere. . .
Lemme look through my scene files.

It is pitch black, you are likely to be eaten by a grue. . . .

Apparently I do still have the original scene files.
Basically means we can create whatever resolution we
need from it.
Texture can be modified / tweaked to taste.
Shield looks like the following in it's current format:

I like the simplicy of it. Perhaps this is good on the front and a Knights of Glory and Beer assed on the larger logo on the back.

Keep in mind that was done a few years ago
I'll play with it some and see what variations
come out of it.

Sent in my submission. It's more for a hoodie or T-shirt.
I couldn't find a coat of arms that represented us as a guild so I just did the back design which is this:

Toying around with this some more. I have another idea in my head for a logo,
but finding the time to make it happen is almost impossible. Between work,
Aikido, and a parrot who can't stand to be away from me for more than two minutes,
finding any time to play with this is tough.
Personally, I think the shield with a beer mug incorporated
into it is the way to go
Anyhoo-
Same shield, slightly different metal texture and color.

I really think we need something to Represent the Beer since that is the biggest thing about KGB was the beer or virtual beer!
That is a nice sketch Simon

Scroll to the top of your browser and look at the animated .gif on the left. See it when the KGB is displayed?
Or just look here right here: 
That should be the t-shirt design. That's the best font I've seen with anything KGB-related and the colors are IMO perfect. Put that in the centered on the front of the shirt--high so it sits above the breast.
Quote:
Knights of Glory and Beer
Est. 1997
That text goes below the graphic on the front--or on the back.
"Est." could be changed to "Founded" or "pwning" or whatever since 1997.
Simple, elegant, powerful. That's KGB to me.

First off, Happy Birthday Jet, I'm sure there will be a thread elsewhere on it but I plan on posting this once today.
Secondly, Heraldry, Coats of Arms, or Knightly Orders can be very complex things if you want them to be. I personally think a updated look for KGB would be very interesting.
Here is a link to help that along and hopefully inspire people.
http://www.heraldryclipart.com/m24learnpop.html
Realize this, I'm not entirely sure whether that is a lion or not if so however what you have in use is considered "Lion Rampant, Coward or Cone". A change there might be advisable at the very least, as well as including a beer or two somewhere.
