A resurrected design project

[shadesofmauve]

I'm trying to figure out fonts for this, and I'm not sure what direction to go. It has to be simple enough that it will embroider well, since I originally envisioned this as an embroidered patch:



I started this on a whim yesterday, after abandoning the idea for at least three years. It's paraphrased from a line from rent ("The opposite of war isn't peace, it's creation"), and I had been thinking about having a patch made and donating profits to a constructive charitable organization working in a war torn area (not yet decided, but I have a few very good sources of information).

I need to tweak the wings, especially the right one, but I thought I'd throw it up to get responses, first. Any thoughts?

Great idea and a very nice design. I've always loved that line from Rent, by the way.

Thanks! I like the line from rent, but I wanted a strong affirmative statement rather than a "It's not this, it's this" for the badge. Now I'm not sure how to credit it, since the idea is clearly from Rent but the wording isn't.

Maybe it's my (old and crappy CRT) screen, but the wording disappears into the brown background. Could you try one with the writing in white?

I like it. Still needs some tweaking, yeah, but the basic design is very solid.
