Off the back of Woody's brilliant idea with regards to Pens4Heros i thought it was the right time to consult on the Zeta poppy idea i have been working on. What would people think to an alternative top for the Zeta kits. I was hoping that the profits from this addition could go to the british legion. Zeta Poppy.jpgZeta Poppy 2.jpg

Great Idea Dan but I think you need to check with the British Legion about using the Poppy Motife. I am sure that there will be no problem if they are going to benefit from the sales.

\not knocking your ability Dan that is a good enuf image to get the idea.

I dunno about it wearing a hat are there challenges with that?
How hard wearing will it be?
Is it a once a year pen?
Maybe OK if the belt was coloured too?
How about tri colour with a poppy?

Just thoughts.

I was thinking changing the black on the centre band for red. The image on the end would only be small (8mm dia) which i think could be too small?

If the Poppy was on the clip then the pen owner would be 'wearing' the poppy when it's in the shirt pocket? Just an idea..

I like the idea, its for a superb cause and would be something everyone could join in with. I think that Brian has a valid point that it would possibly be a once a year pen with that design but could be changed quite easily such as having the top completely red with a black end and a white dot in the middle where you then have a representation of a poppy without it being one.
