TOTJO - Vectors or HD Logos?

Brothers and Sisters of the temple i have a question about who to ask about high quality TOTJO logos for artwork. I found a website:

http://www.shapeways.com/

Example of silver jewelry made by a 3D or 2D image:
http://www.shapeways.com/model/1607851/phylogenetic-tree-pendant.html?li=home-itm-683f4f&materialId=81

if allows me to take a 2D image and have it 3D printed in plastic or metal i would very much like to create a stamp for my leather work to place the temple logo onto my leather cuff. I would also like to create a solid silver temple ring from a silver version. Once i create my stamp i will happily make a second one free for the TOTJO main office to have for them selves.

I would also really like to make mock up design for new items for you to sell in your store - I DO NOT WANT TO MAKE ANYTHING FOR RESALE TO PUBLIC OR PROFIT FROM THIS STAMP OR DESIGN WORK IN ANY WAY. There is also another place you want to create a store online with a higher focus on artwork and how it is added to items - it include canvas prints, baby grows, greetings cards and blooming tones more - little more expensive but the quality is unreal and i would be very happy to create items for you guys to sell. Moving away from black and white simple tshirt and product design as you have into more products for the home as well as fashion. I know i would love a Jedi Temple canvas design for my wall in my house. I want to represent my religion with an honourable life according to the jedi code but i also would like to show that off a little bit - not for any other reason than proud of who i am.

I am a graphic designer for many years and am able to duplicate this logo very easily but i would prefer and copy from the temple - AS I DON NOT WANT TO OVER STEP MY MARK WITH THIS IDEA - AT ALL!

Anyway thanks and hope to hear you guys thoughts.

Shoot a PM to Senior Knight Akkarin , as he is VP of Public Relations and in charge of things of this nature...

I like the idea. I have been doing promotional business cards and Temple Doctrine booklets. Don't have a vectored image, but it doesn't lose much in re-sizing since the design in so simple. Also, the majority of my projects made it smaller. As far at t-shirts are concerned, I wanted to do a series of various colors that displayed the logo like a japanese "mon". i.e. small and at the center of the back, over each breast or on the shoulders.

I've actually considered making a hitatare or kamishimo for what most people would refer to as "Jedi robes", and screenprinting the TotJO logo in the traditional mon placements. Properly printed vectors would make this process less frustrating. lol

I am trying to find a balance between robe and jacket/coat at the moment as i want to create a jacker with suede shoulders and suede hood. I want a large hood and i am working on the design i will post it for you more skilled tailors to assess before i start - as i have no idea what the hell i am doing.

Also i sent the PM asking for permission so i look forward to seeing what we can create for the Temple - i am very excited about this project if we get the go ahead.

I am crafting a ceremonial robe for my own use that will be complete upon attaining Knighthood (not necessarily at TOTJO, I just mean in my own training). It's gonna be a Bleach captain's robe with a Jedi symbol on the back instead of the squad number.

I might use the TOTJO symbol. Not sure yet. Would fit with the tone, though!

That's fantastic. We should make this a separate thread so we don't derail this one, but I love this topic, and have plenty to add to it.
