TOUCH GRASS CLUB

These are Emblemry’s own words, written before the badge was drawn.

Subject

A scuffed, worn walking boot planted in a clump of tall meadow grass, with simple daisy heads around its base and a low setting sun behind the grass tips; all forms are rendered as bold, distressed screen-printed shapes.

Motifs

• worn walking boot Anchor

  Large central anchor in a simplified side profile, with a heavy dark sole, creased leather panels, worn scuffs, and a few deliberate ink gaps.

• tall grass Supporting

  Long, uneven olive blades rise around and partly overlap the boot, creating a natural foreground and broken printed texture.

• daisies Supporting

  Small, spare white-petal silhouettes with ochre centers clustered low around the boot rather than competing with it.

• low sun Supporting

  A flattened ochre semicircle set behind the boot and grass, with a lightly distressed edge and no radiating gradient.

Palette

Use a restrained aged-ink palette of deep bark brown for outlines and title, muted olive for grass, dusty ochre for the sun and daisy centers, and weathered cream for daisy petals and limited boot highlights. Apply visible letterpress wear, speckling, and small ink voids throughout.

Composition

Set the dominant title “TOUCH GRASS CLUB” in a broad, slightly weathered lower banner, with the boot rising above it as the main silhouette. Let the low sun sit off-center behind the boot, while grass and daisies build a grounded foreground around its base. Use a stout irregular emblem border and restrained print distress. Preserve deliberate open cream space around the upper boot silhouette and between the sun and title so the central form and lettering remain immediately legible.
