Small-scale crest engineering

Relief has to read at real size.

The photographed crest combines a shield edge, football, color panels, tiny lettering and textured recesses. For a new authorized design, mark which surfaces rise and what must remain readable at 7.5 cm.

Relief map

Separate the visible layers before tooling.

A single flat color image does not specify which details should rise, recess or remain smooth. Mark those decisions on the artwork proof.

Outside rim

Define crest shape, edge thickness and how the raised border meets the textile.

Color panels

Identify every separate color field and the texture, if any, inside it.

Small lettering

Test each letter at the recorded 7.5 cm reference scale; simplify details that merge.

Finished height

Use 7.5 cm only as the pictured reference; confirm your own crest dimensions.

Specify a new, authorized crest.

The pictured team wording is not a generic stock design or a grant of trademark rights. Quote a rights-cleared logo with its color separations, relief map, dimensions, backing method and intended garment. No fixed attachment performance is proven by the product photograph.

Tooling decision

Freeze the drawing before the mold conversation.

Silhouette

Approve the outline and border width so a later art revision does not silently change the finished crest.

Relief hierarchy

Number every raised and recessed zone, including the football and small-letter areas, on one signed proof.

Commercial terms

Ask the written quotation to separate sample, tooling and production terms; none is established by the reference image.

Garment integration

Test the crest on the fabric that will carry it.

A raised edge can look different when the textile bends. Confirm the requested attachment method, placement and care trial on the buyer's real garment material. Inspect the full perimeter and small lettering after the agreed handling test, then retain that approved sample as the production reference.

Do not infer press settings, wash durability or an included backing from the picture.

3D TPU crest FAQ

Is the pictured team mark available to order?

It is shown as a construction reference only. Submit a new crest you own or are licensed to reproduce.

Must my crest be 7.5 cm?

No. That is the recorded example dimension; specify your target width and height and review legibility at that size.

Is tooling included in the patch price?

No tooling or price term is established here. Ask for those charges and any art-revision terms explicitly in the written quote.
