Prodigy Game Works Merchandise

In order to sort of help with raising money for molds for future game manufacturing, I've been thinking about getting hats and shirts printed to sell.  Is anyone interested in purchasing merchandise?  The colors that seem to be popular are Red, White, and Black with black logos for the red ones, red or black for the White ones, and red logos for the Black ones.  Let me know in the comments.
Hopefully soon we will have "Generals of the Revolution" ones made up too to go along with the Prodigy Game Works logos.

What Color Are You?

Currently the player colors for the game are Yellow for the government pieces, and then you have Red, Blue, White, and Black.  Not that I don't like those colors, but I thought putting out the option for other colors would be a good idea.  So I'm asking (see new poll posted), "What's your color?"
When you play a game, what color do you typically go for?

Final Logo Designs

As you may have guessed from the header the Logo designs are complete and we have a whole gallery of formats to choose from.  We're very happy with the items that we have recieved from the Curtis Design Group, LLC and look forward to many years of working with them on future items.  Hopefully, someday we will be big enough to actually afford to have them do more for us on the games.  We're getting business cards soon and now have the artwork to start our website.
We have been in contact with a couple of injection molding companies as well.  The quotes for game pieces have so far been a little disappointing but we're still working with them to see what we can do to bring the costs more in line with our expectations.
We have also started looking for graphic artists to produce some designs for game pieces (Asset Cards, Board tiles, and Occupancy Markers).  We have 2 designers for game pieces and 1 for the cover.  I'm excited about Mark Mahaffey doing the cover because he too is a game designer and has done some box covers already that I was impressed with.  I've been tempted to ask him to do the playing pieces as well, but I'm not sure we could afford that right now.  I may not have a choice in the end if I want a real quality, professional looking game, but I'm not sure that he does that stuff yet.
Stay posted and we hope you like the new look of the blog header.  Please let us know what you think in the comments.

Sea Unit Name

Doing more research...
I found more potential names for the Sea piece in the game and I have posted another poll with the names (Sorry Hollie, I'm still no fan of AquaPods).  Some of you may be able to tell I was thinking sharks with the names.
Please feel free to leave comments with other names you might come up with.  Voting on the right.

Air Unit Names

I owe Hollie a big apology for dismissing her air unit name (Fight Kites) so abruptly.  I've bee researching names and found that Kites are hawk-like birds of prey and, while I still wonder about the name a little, found that I like the name much more now.

With that, I have posted a new poll for the naming of the piece one more time and hope to get a better reponse.  I found some names of eagles that I thought would go well. 

Please see the poll to the left...
Also, A reminder for the poll on the right that is now counting down in hours.

New Logos

We've been talking with CDL and rev'd the logo ideas.  These are the result of the collaboration:


They don't show up nearly as well as the previous ones because I printed them on lower quality paper and CDL probably has a better printer than the one I used.  It should convey the idea.  I have a feeling that I know what most people will pick but I'll throw some voting buttons up anyway.
