A few options have been suggested and need an option on which to go with. Will be a short poll as we get are close to the due date! Please see update post for close up of each design.
Sorry for the last min poll but a few creatures have been suggested for the M|M on multiple platforms so I made a poll for them! Here are the designs closer up:
Thanks a bunch to everyone who commented on the update and on socials for suggestions!
As per our last update (almost a year ago wow!!) Thankfully our manufacturers have figured out the tariff deal and I'm able to easily work them into our campaign costs.
Now for the fun part, while I do love the idea of Pintones as base color guides that isn't very practical given the existence of pantone books. So we're pivoting and instead I have jumped head first into our original stretch goal of Pridetones for this March! As of right now the line up includes 15 Pride flags, 5 flags for Justice and a large white board style pin of an Adobe Illustrator UI.
There will be early bird discount tiers, a returning backer freebie, a cross collab sticker and a group collab mini pin! Follow along to get these lil guys in time for june.
March 10th is now just under 2 weeks away! It's coming up SO fast, y'all. I'm so stoked to be launching these pins!
ICYMI -- This campaign is a set of Pride themed Pokeball mini pins!
Here are the flags that will be featured:
Pride (Rainbow)
Bisexual
Trans
Lesbian
Pansexual
Nonbinary
Gay (MLM)
Ace
+ 1 Backer Voted Design!
That's right! For our final stretch goal, you guys will get to submit a flag you want to see added to the collection, and you and your fellow backers will vote for our winner! This will be done via an update where I ask for submissions, with a poll to follow! I'm very excited to see what else will get to be represented via this campaign!
But there's more! This campaign is also a part of A Pin Of Pride -- a community event focused on pride enamel pins.
There's even a FREE pin avaliable if you back three campaigns as part of the event -- the "Love is Love" Ball!
I'll also have my popular PokeBall pin designs avaliable as add ons. If you haven't gotten them yet, this is the perfect time, as I'll be offering them at $1 off the normal price! Not sure which one you'd want? Blind Bags will also be avaliable~!
Oh, and if you've backed any of my previous campaigns, you'll get a FREE 1" "Love is Love" Ball glitter sticker with your pledge!
Now, with all that said, I have a poll up right now for add-ons! I've been feeling kinda stuck with this decision this time around, so why not ask you guys? Options I've put down are phone charms, individual stickers, and a sticker sheet, but you can also comment any ideas you have and I'll add it to the poll!
Make sure you vote below, and comment if you have any ideas! I want to hear em!
That's it from me for now. I'm going to be diligently working behind the scenes getting everything prepped for launch, but you'll hear from me again soon!
The list is LONG - but which flag are y'all most excited for, for this project?
I personally am really excited about the OG pride flag (I love the colors!), the bisexual, and bigender bottles. Unfortunately the polls on BK are pretty limited, however, so only one choice is available.
There are definitely flags that I haven't gotten to but that I do want to get done - but sitting at 24 pins (26 with the cross collab and banner freebies!) I think that we will have to see how the project goes before I lump any more in here lol.
There WILL be a pledge level for a custom pin - so if there is a flag you'd like to see made, we can make it work! If you're interested in getting the ball rolling on that before launch, I'm happy to chat - so feel free to e-mail me ([email protected]) or reach out via social media!
Feel free to comment any flags that I didn't design that you want seen, as well - depending on how things go, I may be able to squeeze a few more designs into this~
This will be my only whole audience update regarding this project - any subsequent updates will be to followers only :)
A few options I've thought of... but feel free to comment any other ideas and I'll add it to the poll! The most voted will most likely be added to the campaign!
Pride is almost here, and we are celebrating early.
