I had a lot of trouble coming up with an album pin design that I love. That's because Album Pins can serve two functions. They should be something that you want to wear because it's pretty or it should have a cool slogan (and maybe also cool looking). I feel like the two pins I'm printing do just that.
Yes. I said two. I did poll with Patrons to see which they preferred. They were split right down the middle So I checked the printer to see if I had to order 100 minimum or not. Apparently I don't. So I'm gonna print both. Whichever one more fans choose the most of, that's the one that I'll print more of.
So what are the Come Adventure With Me album pin designs?
First is the Dragon. I like this one because the dragon is fierce-looking. Despite that, it repeats the album tag title, “Come Adventure With Me”. Basically, face your fears.
Second is the Compass. This one features a tag line that I crowdsourced on Patreon along while also searching for lines on ChatGPT. There was a slight modification tho. The original line read “Never Stop Exploring.” I changed that to “Never Stop Adventuring,” which seems more fitting for this album.
Someone pointed out that the compass did not face North. I didn't notice that at first. But I realized how great that is. It's great sign that the real adventure doesn't always go forward. It's this way and that. And we're never gonna stop because that's what life is all about.
So those are the two designs. I'd love to hear which one you prefer. But no promises that you'll be able to own both unless you supported the Kickstarter.
One last note, the mixing is done for all but one song. I think I'm on target to finish the digital album by March 17. Woohoo!
