Respect Pronoun Pins - New Design
4 months ago – Tue, Jun 25, 2024 at 10:09:27 AM

Okay so I'm back with some updated designs for the Respect Pronouns Pin. Both designs feature the same saying, but in two different designs.

It's unfortunate the last design was lost, but hopefully you enjoy these new ones more!


Beautiful Day Pin

The Beautiful day pin features a similar retro character as the last design. This time around I went with a sun instead of a heart, because it kind of goes with the beautiful day theme. This pin has a translucent blue sky (meaning light will pass through the blue parts), and a glitter accented sun. The text will be opaque white and screen printed over the blue.



Respect Pronouns


For those of you who aren't a fan of the retro character, you can get the same saying on a simpler design. The respect Pronouns design comes in either a silver or gold plated with black glitter, or a black nickel plated with white glitter. The stars on each of these designs are screen printed. 

Update on the Respect Pronouns Pin

Yesterday I posted an image and asked everyone to vote on whether they wanted to see it as a pin or not. If you checked out the poll then you know the majority was yes. However, later that day I accidentally closed that file in Illustrator without saving it, and lost the entire design (not a fun time). This means I lost my vector, which is what the factory uses to make pins. Now it's not possible for me to recreate the design, and I'm going to, but slightly differently. The wording is the best part and the essential part of the design, the cartoon character was me trying something new. I'm not opposed to the cartoon character, I thought they were cute, but I wan't to rework the design. Sooo, I'm going back to the drawing board and when I come back I'll have a newer design (with the same wording), and fully fleshed out sticker designs as well.

Please don't ask me why I didn't name the file and save it before closing the tab...

Hey Y'all,

I came up with this design on a whim last night, and wanted to know if y'all think it should be added as a design. As you can see it's not done in my usual tattoo flash style, but just trying something new.

New Design Teaser

Hey yall,

I've been reading your comments on the last post, and I have been taking in all the information. So here's the updated situation with adding new designs. Please feel free to keep adding comments here!

Demiromantic Flag Color Rep


I will be adding a Demiromantic variant to the main Heart & Dagger design. This is what I mean when I say there are many so many representations, and sometimes, as a person with ADHD and general disorganization, I miss a few. Thank you to the backers who brought this to my attention and requested it. Please keep an eye out as it will be up in the next few days.

Ally Pins

I didn't expect to get so many requests for Ally pins, but you all pulled up and let me know. I'm currently working on a few Ally designs. One design will straight up say Ally, and another will say "You're safe with me" You can peep the silhouettes of these designs in progress. I know the silhouettes aren't super exciting, and not every one of these will make the cut, but I just wanted to show you that they are being worked on!

Pronoun Pins

All I can say about pronoun pins is...I'm figuring it out. There were many requests for pronoun pins. If I create a pronoun pin keep in mind it's probably going to be low key and simple. What I may do is create pronoun pins with the most common ones (she/her, he/him/, they/them, she/they, "any", and so on). However, while I am creating the most common ones, I may take requests for other options as well. I am trying to make this happen, I just need time to figure out how I can get it to work with factory minimum order quantities. If I can't make it work for this campaign, there's no reason to say it can be done as it's own seperate campaign in the future.

Keep an eye out on updates so you can see all the new designs as they are revealed.

Cheers,
Liz
