Handler ID T-Shirts (pre-made and templates)

[zekybomb]

Have a handler? want everyone to know they are your handler? I have some templates for t-shirts.

I tried to make variations for everyone. In the compressed folder are each the ones shown above in PNG format, as well as most of them in SVG which you can edit in Inkscape, the font used Handel Gothic D (also included)
The logos are from the Halo Wiki, I own no rights, and claim no copyrights.
I recomend cutting them out of a white heat transfer vinyl and put them on a black shirt, the blank ones you can just write on them with sharpie

This is incredible. Your work is commendable. I need to get my partner the “my idiot …” shirts.

These are great!
I might need to do a t-shirt or something with one of these at some point

Great work! I'm actually planning on posting an "in-world" version of this kind of thing, sorta akin to a UNSC PT uniform shirt. Love the direction you took with this though, would help us and other con-goers quickly identify our people, even if we/they haven't met yet.

I think what would really nail this for handlers (but I didn't deign to suggest it in the main post) would be to get a tiny 405th logo on the nape of the neck, like you see as branding for most other shirts and stuff.
I know Asguardianhammer is very protective of his work so i didn't include it

I’ve gotta get one made for my brother lol, I’ll have to see if I can make a sibling edition for the Spartan version

I just stumbled across this Zeky! This is awesome. Have you thought about making a generic version of this for individuals who may just be assisting as handlers and not necessarily tied to a specific individual? I know we have people who come out to hang out and act as handlers at events before they complete their suits. Might be an awesome idea for those people as well

I was thinking the "My idiot is a XXXX" would cover that XD
but yeah i can change up the program
maybe
"I'm with the spartan/ODST"
or just
"Spartan Handler"
and
"ODST Handler"
heck I can do all of them
(And it shall be my 50th post. Preemptive Huzzah!)

Seeing this thread pop up the other day actually gave me an idea. What if instead of just a handler shirt we could get our handlers a sash that can go over thier cosplay or outfit. That way if someone wants to cosplay a marine or officer but are being a designated Handler its easier to spot them.

How feasible do you think itd be to adjust your templates to fit the idea?

 

[zekybomb]

All wrapped up! I have added "Brother", "Sister", "Sibling", variants to all the shirts.
And I have added new "Spartan/ODST Handler" versions!!

If we wanted to make a sash with just the text as Emp Frosty suggested you can just take the top section to print out.
The two folders are the .svg file (which can be easily edited with any vector program, I used Inkscape) and the .png which you can take right to any printer and get them put on a shirt

THIS IS MY 50th POST!!!!!
TIME TO PUT IN THOSE DEPLOYMENT PHOTOS!

 

[zekybomb]

OH Forgot I have these generic ones as well
oops

Emp Frosty I was actually working on an "in-world" version of this - rather than having them labeled as "handlers', label them as Drill instructors or Staff Sergeants for both the Spartan and ODST branches based on their preference or affiliation with a costumed individual. The shirts can be further individualized if they want, with numbers, etc.
My thought is, if people are going to go to the effort of dressing as an officer already, they already look the part and don't need the extra label. I think a pin or something else would suffice and not detract from the work on their outfit.

My plan is to donate my time to make one for each handler that joins us for Megacon in Orlando as a thank you for coming and to try out the idea. You know, heads up for those on the fence about joining us this year!
