jmh123 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Thanks everybody. I am really happy that you're liking them, and I appreciate the suggestions! I edited these into the first post, but I'll post them here too. Aa Cc Oh! Great job, Cindilu! I'm really liking Aa & Cc. These are my favs as well. They are gorgeous. Just one picky thing: Could the "SIR" be more centered with the "ROBIN" or maybe the S in SIR even with the N in Robin? It seems lopsided to me. Probably just a matter of taste so feel free to ignore me. I'm so in awe of your talent!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindilu2 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 jmh, there really isn't room to move the Sir up (I tried before) without making all the writing smaller, and then it just gets hard to read. If I make the crest smaller, there is too much black. I will try nudging it up a little and see. Maybe if it does go for 'proofing', the pin people can fix it. this is it moved up some - more centered with Robin, but I'm not sure it really makes much difference. Three letters versus five is always gonna be lopsided I guess! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aikim Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I prefer Cc! Kim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FromClaygary Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Love B Love the crest ©... can the words read FCA on bottom, then Doing instead of Finding and then, maybe, Sir Clobin? I'm going to wait for a few suggestion before I change anything, liney (my hand is sore!!) But, it's only gonna say Sir Clobin if somebody else makes one. (Sorry, I hatesss strongly dislike the 'Clanguage'.) Cindy, they're awesome! My first choice would be Cc..as long as it's as you have it, no "doing" and no "Sir Clobin" for me.

Ah, but "doing" is an FCA tradition!!! I am loving Aa more and more! Its just so colorful and fun - like Spamalot. Cc is nice but there is no Clay and the colors make it look rather serious.

ldyjocelyn Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 cindi, the pin designs are all great. I personally love Aa myself, because I love the tie-in with the colors to the Spamalot ad. I like the heraldry of the shield pin, but I agree with others who think that one is a bit dark.

Lotus Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I much prefer option Cc probably because although I like the designs of A and B, I just cannot see myself wearing a pin which says "doing Clay"...sorry...just not me. I haven't been a fan long enough, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanyforclay Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 My favorite would be Aa. Cc is nice but doesn't mention Clay at all. Aa is a cutesy fun pin, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindilu2 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Okay - here's a compromise for C...aka D *g* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpingjacks Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Aa or D are my favorites. Thought Cc was actually D...whoops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikesmom Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 What fun!!! I'm all over Aa and D now!!! And somehow, I managed to miss ordering the first in the series... Any chance there are still some to be had? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playbiller Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 What series are you talking about? There have been a bunch of FCA pins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cindilu2 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I believe she means the 'Doing Clay' pins. Doing Clay (DCAT), Doing Clay in the Heartland, now Doing Clay on Broadway. Lotus, though there is a double entendre - think of it like 'doing lunch'. Not at all smutty that way!! LOLOLOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmh123 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Okay - here's a compromise for C...aka D *g* This one rocks!! Totally!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikesmom Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 What series are you talking about? There have been a bunch of FCA pins. Someone, somewhere mentioned this is the third "in the series"... maybe the summer tour (DCAT), then CITH and now Spamalot? Maybe that's not correct then - that there is no series per se?

Claygasm Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 What series are you talking about? There have been a bunch of FCA pins. The "Doing Clay Aiken" pins, starting with the DCAT pin and then the Doing Clay in the Heartland pins. At least that is the series I am talking about. I know it isn't an official series, but it could be! I am still loving Aa the most with D now my second choice. I bet we could get enough to order both like we did with the CITH pins...... I know I would order both! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikesmom Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yes! The Doing Clay series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanyforclay Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Love Aa and now D. I'd order both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareneh Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 cindilu2, the pins are terrific! My choices would be Aa and D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskifest Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I am LOVNG Aa and also Cc. If I were forced to choose one it would be AA because I love the colors and because it is so Monty Pythonesque and because I just love the little FCA tomato for the 'O'. That's sort of become an unofficial FCA symbol. I also like it better because it mentions Clay specifically. And because it would truly be the third in a continuing series of FCA "Doing Clay" pins. I mean, how can there be a Clay concert/event where FCA doesn't "do" Clay? If I had my way (what do you mean it isn't all about ME?????), I would have one of Aa and one of Cc. Yeah. That. I'd like one of each Aa and Cc, please. They're both genius! :F_05BL17blowkiss: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 ohhkay...D is it! Yep, I really like it. Although doing Clay is a double entendre...let's face it...how many people reading that pin are going to think of doing lunch and much as I would love to do Clay I just cannot wear a pin announcing that desire.

playbiller Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Spoil sport spoils sport where are you? I guess it is me. Isn't there a problem using "Clay Aiken" on a pin. I thought you could use one or the other, but not both since it is trademarked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liney23 Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I'm an Aa and D person myself. Cindilu, you are a GREAT pin designer!!! Thanks! And, thanks to couchie for ordering and dispersing. Make sure you charge enough for shipping when you tell us the cost!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
