When customizing Wilbur Soot Lovejoy pins, one have to choose the design they feel can relate well with both persona of the artist and aesthetic of your band. The first step is to choose the pin size, which can vary but are most often approximately 1-2 inches in diameter. The smaller sizes are a bit more subtle while the larger pins allow for greater detail. Along with the enamel, all of this is important because it provides a glossy finish on our pins or either soft-enamel which allows for texture and makes details like logo band, Wilbur (a signature look) to stand out.
This can generally be adjusted to color changes, text insertions and different imagery from either Lovejoy symbols or important times within Wilbur content. However, industry standards lean towards bold brassy looking colors to give the pins an extra bit of 'pop', particularly on dark clothing where you still want them to be visible and impacting. Favorite song lyrics or quotes (who doesn't love Wilbur's, "What are you so afraid of?") A personal angle can be added across-the-board in line with the style stuff.
At that point you would have to either work with an artist or a platform where custom pins can be created. Then, using popular services on the market you can upload your artwork and determine what kind of pin (hard enamel, soft enamel or even acrylic) will incoming in addition to specifications such as border size or color fills. This allows budding, or experienced producers a discount for bulk orders and typically the per-unit cost is 20-30% cheaper across all categories as volume increases.
ConclusionBackgrounds play a large role in both the usability as well visual impact, and when given some thought there are many that best suit your factory line concept development. Magnetic or rubber backings are a lot better than those, but they do take away some of the vintage feel. Fasteners can also have glow-in-the-dark effects, or you may want your logo in a glitter finish to be raised metal for some pop.
By having these pins designed specifically to match is due in part of community involvement. Additionally, fans seeking the perfect representation of a beloved character will commission art from creators within this community to create an image that reflects popular interpretations. This approach leads to a more genuine design but also helps other artists stay on their path to the limelight. Redbubble and independent Etsy shops are two popular platforms where these custom designs can be commissioned.
When you are considering custom pins, shipping turnaround time and production timeline can become extremely important if your event is on a particular date such as concerts or fan meet-ups. Production times can vary from 2 to 4 weeks and depend on the complexity of the design, as well how many are in each order. Same day options can reduce shipping time by 50% but with steep mark-up (add an extra 20%) from the final price.
When making customized wilbur soot lovejoy pins, it's about how each element comes together into a beautiful piece in the end.
