At Stadri, we know how creative our customers can be. The sheer volume of awesome designs they send us to make into patches speaks for itself. Some of these designs simply blow us away. Since you’re all so creative with images and design, we decided we’d like to see how creative you are with words. Hence, our first ever caption-the-patch contest.
Yes, it’s a simple as it sounds. Below is a real patch we’ve done for Warren Wilson College. The text is blurred out; we need you to fill it back in with something clever and witty—in other words, caption the patch!

There are few finer ways to see the world than on a motorcycle; a combination of exotic locations and an exhilarating mode of transportation offers an experience that is as memorable as it is unique.

Custom embroidered biker patches offer this in abundance, and allow you to build an entire collection that reflects your riding history.

PNC Thunder is just one of the many ministries of the Puyallup Nazarene Church in Washington, which is usually the starting point of most rides. The ministry started as merely a group of riders who would meet together throughout the summer months to ride.

They refer to themselves as a ministry for their motorcycle enthusiasts, providing the opportunity to participate in organized rides, with one of the many benefits being fellowship with people of varied interests.

Instantly recognizable to all who see it, designers have been creating emblems and logos for years and even those with a limited fashion knowledge can differentiate between the main brands. Establishing a logo is a key part of a business’ development but not all brands are able to project the prestige which they desire from something as simple as a Scottie Dog–so what is the secret?
 For a UK-based luxury bag company called Radley—the brand behind the iconic canine—the secret lies in the simplicity. A brand developed from the creative designs of a native Londoner, the Scottie dog first began appearing on the bags when Ms. Lowell Harder–the woman responsible for their creation–was still making them for the Camden Market.

 ARTacles is a line of hand-made totes, purses, and clutches. Alisha R. Tillman, the artisan behind ARTacles, observed an unbalanced ratio between young and fashionable people seeking functional yet attractive handbags and totes and the number of such handbags available. Hence, ARTacles was born, providing bags that were designed with the intent of creating a multi-sensory experience for the owner—to be both seen and touched. She says handbags are the perfect way to offer people an opportunity to interact with her art.

“They made many promises but only kept one . . . they took our land.”
The beautiful embroidered patch you see here was designed and inspired by Rick “Spider” Kramer of Spider Tattooz. Rick—who prefers to be called Spider—became a custom tattoo artist in 1986. He was originally a painting and airbrushing artist but decided to start Spider Tattooz as a hobby extension of this and had a small studio put together in a back bedroom of his house; this has now become a full-blown tattoo studio in Sycamore, Illinois. Spider has many other interests—one in particular is highlighted in this article.
