Because the world needs more Torchwood branding in it...

Sue's leaving for her trip to ComicCon tomorrow - buses take time you know. Even as she sits here judging my Ianto-ish love of labels, my (apparently) bizzare way of posting here, and my sharpie induced drunk-like haze last night I'm still pretty sure she likes how I improved her luggage. Torchwood NZ branding on one side and the T blown up on the other. Harkness on top, of course.







How to brand random objects and/or people who don't move quickly enough for Torchwood

Step One: Start with a clean surface. In this case it's Sue's new to her suitcase.



Step Two: Print out some handy dandy references from the internet, and type up whatever you can't find in Word. Fun fact? Torchwood branding font is basically Calibri made really really big. You can search through 5000 fonts like she did trying to find an exact one, or one with a fancy name, but really? You're going to end back with Calibri, your generic default friend. Slap some carbon paper to the back and tape it where you think you want it.



Step Three: Trace over the general outline with an embossing tool. Follow behind with a Sharpie (woohoo!! sharpie!!) Here it is part way done



TWNZ side done - note the nifty upside down T :D



After that I followed with HARKNESS on the top, and the other T took up most of the side. Way, way, way more Sharpie. Also, if you don't press hard enough with the carbon paper you will have to lean very very close when you start with the markers. This might possibly get you a little bit high on accident. Ooops. woohoo! sharpie!!





Last one is an "action-shot" with the Jack Coat

Well, they say when you travel that you should make your luggage as easily identifiable as possible. Sue will be able to tell that's her bag from a mile away :D

Sharpie hangover!!

Most definitely. BRIGHT RED. TW LOGO.

Although she IS in a con so it certainly will be noticeable.

Awww :( *hands over water and some paracetamol* You gonna come on soon hon or busy?

No one ever claimed TW was subtle. NZ variety or original Cardiff brand.

Switching computers and then I'll be on :D

Torchwood New Zealand. Not subtle?

Come on. We ARE subtle.

No one knows we exist :P :P

Did you really just say that?

[identity profile] kittiword.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

I meant it as a joke?

I think they chose to ignore us.

And once again you show that you are obviously the logical one in the pair.......
