Hey guys! I have a buddy who has made a few patches for me on Etsy. All of his stuff is very high quality. He is willing to make name tags for the community for a good price, setup fee based upon how many are made per order, then $5+ $2 shipping. I already gave him all the details/measurements for the black part of the patch. I’m sure he also wouldn’t mind GB2 style. He just needs the details/measurements etc. I WILL be using Kingpin’s font. It seems the that the tags with the boxy Rs Ds and Ps etc are the inaccurate ones. You can see the good ones here: [http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4f/Egon\_GB1.jpg](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4f/Egon_GB1.jpg) I used the first movie and [the video game](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-the-video-game) as a reference. Everything is go. Here is his shop. As soon as we can get the accurate letters, I’ll go ahead and order some and post the results! **\*Link Removed by Moderator** He also said to let you guys know he is working on a Ghostbusters logo patch. So you guys might wanna check it out in the future next time you get a new suit or if you are unhappy with the quality of your current one. ---

Okay guys! The patches are finished. It came to around 8 bucks per patch (shipping included) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/e/5/e5d5f81dba0b50d7f4a04be08d1e8d5c10e25858.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/3/1/3142b840baf3390630de33a690dd805c29e553c2.jpeg) ---

NICE!! Very clean work. I had to make my own tag on an old sewing machine with zigzag function. ---

Wow. The font looks great as a set of real tags. 🙂 Makes me think about going back and taking another look at the font, now that we’ve got some better reference material to work with. ---

Well I compared the font to the first movie and [the video game](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-the-video-game). It looks pretty damn accurate. ---

Great patches! 🙂 I think that font looks spot on. What would you change, Kingpin? ---

I guess it’d be minor adjustments… compare the letter set that appears in the movies to the font and tweak any bits now we have those close-up shots. If I were to get around to it. As is I’m pleased with the font as it currently exists. ---

I ordered his gb logo arm patch and name patch. They came out great. I recommend JoJo as well. They are accurate and the pair of patches was only 14.50 total after shipping and came in two days. ---

You have to message him about it. I ordered 2 from him and they are absolutely beautiful. ---

Is there I way to change the “I” to looking like an uppercase I with the line on top and bottom. In the videogame the I in rookie looks like ( I ) \< this ---

It should be possible, although bear in mind this font was created prior to the videogame. ---

I know its a small thing to dislike, but I don’t like the game’s “I”. If all the other letters are sans-serrif it should just be a line. ---

I got my GB1-style tags from Jojo, and will post pictures. I rank them as FABULOUS. Plus he was prompt, made sure I was satisfied with the size/look/layout/clolour, offered the velcro or iron-on options, and shipped them reasonably and rather professionally. My sister was so impressed she’s probably going to get him to do her some BPR Hellboy patches for her outfit too. ---

Funny. I just asked him to make me a Luigi [nametag](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/gb1-name-tag-patch), in white with green text. 🙂 I’ve already got Katarra making the no patch. ---

I used JoJoCustomizes and got the tags in maybe 2 days after he sewed them and they look GREAT!!! I highly suggest looking to him to make your name tags! And they were amazingly priced! All-in-all, Amazing. ---
