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

DIAZ! THEY FOUND MY SUITCASE!

THANK YOU, PATTI!

But who is this "Sue"? Is she the one with the cake too?

Your suitcase? Uh, Jeannie...I think you are mistaken...

*tilts head*

Well I have to say Hansel, orange and red don't always go so well together.. But

how about I carry it? That way you make the headlines of who you are, and you even have someone attached to your arm while you are at it *g*

Or the green shirt. The green shirt.

[identity profile] ask-theharkni.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
It's the only color I could order it in. NOT my fault.

The green one, huh?

[identity profile] mrsalemp.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh so that's your suitcase? Interesting.

[identity profile] kittiword.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
.......

*whispers to Patti* What did you find?

You ordered in a red suitcase... Right.

Yes definitely the green shirt. Two buttons undone at the top and you totally have a deal as to where the hell you are going.

*whispers back* Not sure I should tell you. Just in case it really is his.

[identity profile] kittiword.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
*whispers* But why not?

I'll bring back two tubs of coffee icecream. Chocolate sauce. And nuts.

[identity profile] mrsalemp.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
You had me until the nuts, now my interest is lost.

[identity profile] kittiword.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
*sighs and thinks*

Coffee Sundae. Chocolate sprinkles on top.

*thinks* Sharpies for the medbay?

[identity profile] mrsalemp.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 01:10 am (UTC)(link)
No caramel? Pfft. Thanks anyway.

I might have already ordered a case of sharpies. Just working on how to secure them from Shadow.

[identity profile] kittiword.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
*thinks even more*

Another purple tiara. Herbert fixed all up and working properly. Coffee at any time of the day or night.

Caramel sundae.

I'll secure the sharpies from Shadow.

8 packets of splenda and a light show.

Fixing Her...SHE ISN'T CALLED HERBERT! But if you want her fixed you must be very very curious about what's in there. What if I tell you and it's a letdown? Could just be a couple pairs of jeans and a toothbrush. You don't know...

[identity profile] kittiword.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
I don't mind. I just want to know.

Besides jeans and a toothbrush requires a backpack. Not a suitcase.

[identity profile] mrsalemp.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
If you're wondering whether or not Hansel's been in your underwear drawer, the answer is not in the suitcase.

[identity profile] kittiword.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
*smirks*

I already know when he is or not anyway. Its called organising.

*pouts* Whats in the suitcase?

Yes, Sue is the one with the cake. Try not to be jealous....speaking of jealous? I'm not so sure that's your bag. I took a peek inside. No crowbar.

[identity profile] ask-theharkni.livejournal.com 2010-07-18 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
WHAT WAS INSIDE IT THEN - AND WHOSE IS IT?!?!

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THIS "SUE" LATER.

If it was your suitcase you would have know what was inside. Since you don't, that counts you out. Next?

ps
Sue doesn't get finger quotes, she's real! See? *points down*

[identity profile] ask-theharkni.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
MAYBE I WANT TO SEE IF YOU REALLY LOOKED IN IT!

Was it full of sketchbooks?

PS I DISBELIEVE THAT SHE IS A BETTER FRIEND THAN ME, HENCE, THE QUOTES!

PPS "SUE"! I CHALLENGE YOU TO A FRIEND-OFF! I AM PATTI'S REAL BESTIE!

[identity profile] mrsalemp.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Why would I lie about that?

I wouldn't say full of sketchbooks. Nosy.

I demand all friend-offs to be relatively non violent. I also demand snacks to enhance my viewing experience.

[identity profile] tardistenantsue.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
I refuse to have a friend-off with this "Jeannie" character on the basis that she is not real. So there.

And even if she were, I would still be the better friend as I make you things and she does not.

*sticks out tongue*

[identity profile] mrsalemp.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
You make a good point. You also have never threatened me with a crowbar, so there's another point in your favour...*frowns at tongue* you aren't planning to lick anything are you?

[identity profile] tardistenantsue.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
You weren't talking to me, were you? I don't lick things...much...hardly ever at all...unless it's like a car window...or a steering wheel...or around someone's drink when they leave it unattended...yeah, hardly at all...

[identity profile] mrsalemp.livejournal.com 2010-07-19 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
I must have gotten you confused with someone else, I don't know what I was thinking. My bad.
