'Autism Army' patch design contest?

Post Reply New Topic

With talk of making ourselves known to those of our kind lately, it occurred to me that a patch would be the ideal 'HD radio' broadcast, making the signal easily tuned into by those of us who have the right receiver, almost along the manner of NTs using eye and body codes. NTs would be picking up the same analog signals from us they always have, while we would at least have the advantage of silent recognition

Anywhere else this would be blueSo would this. Click already

I tried to come up with something, nobody really seemed to dig it, but then again I don't focus on art. If anyone can run with this concept and produce something we can all vote on, post them here.

Posting different colors of my old "Aspergia" flags for fun. Personally I despise the puzzle logo, especially with it's usual eye rape colors. Autism itself isn't really a puzzle (the uncertainty over it's origins excluded), merely a neurotype with a different social functioning.

Cogwheels represent thinking.

I actually really like the cogwheels... With or without the A. Are three interlocking gears already used for anything else or is it free?
I was actually just looking at a similar design the other day and thinking it looked nice...

Do the WP logo in a three piece patch. The globe in the middle, and rockers top and bottom that say Wrong Planet. Put it on a denim jacket. I'd wear it.

But how are we gonna decide who gets patched? Can't do the F***, fight or wash clothes thing.

I'd wear one, but I can't wear anything but T-shirts, stand the feeling of patches, or sew!

Doh! postfail. This is a good design so far, I could see this on a pin, though if anyone else is the same as me something that's 70-80mm stands out a bit more

What is the Autism Army?

A host of holy crusaders destined to capture a patch of land where we can establish the state of Aspergia where our kind can finally live together in harmony without having to expose ourselves to the misunderstandings and troubles often appearing whenever we interact with the neurologically inherently different neurotypicals.

I'll work on a Peace Sign.

Just a blanket term to include everyone on the spectrum, not just on WP though it is the biggest forum so to speak. Also as a means of not having a puzzle logo foisted upon us.

I borrowed the term on the fly from Moped Army

The red one looks best. Let's see what everyone comes up with

we'll have a man on the moon in a week and no one in retail.

We'd also need some sort of slogan in Latin or something. Like 'while I live I fight' or 'aut viam inveniam aut faciam: I will either find a way or make one' or 'from sea to shining sea' or such...

personally I like 'I will either find a way or make one' I think it speaks to our enginuity and tenacity.

lol


aut viam inveniam aut faciam
ftw

I like the cogs. The A gets lost, though.

I quite liked the blue one so i copied it and animated it.

Looks good.

Here is the final version (as I view it), I think this one looks less saturated and a bit nicer to the eye:

I thnk this is great. I absolutely despise the puzzle piece, clearly nobody checked with a single person on the spectrum while coming up that irritating logo. The cog wheels are great and the last lightened up version is awesome. I'd wear one.
