Commemorative Tom A Softie Design

Tuulikki is asking for designs for a commemorative classic Tom A soft release.

Please post your designs here. If chosen, you would be donating your design.

Over time there may be several different versions, we will see.

[Michael Markey]

What a lovely idea ...

 

[Rob-F]

Great idea, wish I were more of an artist. Maybe something symbolizing Tom and Tuulikki's travels together?

 

[Timmyjoe]

Sorry Stephen, not so good at this type of thing, but please let us know when they are available, I will certainly buy a few.

 

[charjohncarter]

Maybe just write TOM on it. But whatever you decide; it's a great idea.

Who will be the beneficiary of the profits on the sale of the commemorative Tom A soft releases? My feeling is that they should alll go straight to Tuulikki, including those of resellers, particularly given that the design is to be donated.

Looking at my Mr B softie, perhaps we can make something similar with Tom's side profile on it, like a coin. Tom A's softie should be mandatory on all M2.

 

[Leica All Day]

What an excellent idea. Unfortunately, I am not good at designing this sort of thing but I will be a customer for sure.

Cheers, Michael

Just a great idea.
It's a small area on which to engrave, keep it simple.

Perhaps a pipe. Tom loved smoking his pipe.

 

[ferider]

Great idea. Not a good designer, so here is my simple one, to encourage others to post.

Roland.

Guess it depends what can and can't be done...

I like all I've seen so far. I wish I were a genuine creative person. I envy y'all.

But, what a phenomenal idea.

Does the author of the chosen design get one free commemorative softie?

 

[CameraQuest]

see what is possible for the softy engravings HERE

not a lot of detail can be done

Here are a couple, a simple aperture and a couple of mock rangefinder patches with Tom's initials:

 

[Mute-on]

Lovely idea!

I like the aperture blades design, above.

Maybe it should just say "SHOOT" 😉

 

[coelacanth]

I'll sketch up a few ideas this weekend.

Also, I'd love to see the re-issue of Mr. B softy. I miss seeing his photos too.

Off-topic: I started to look for IXMOO cassettes, and Google search returned threads on RFF where Tom is giving very insightful information with fine details. He is greatly missed already.
