Designing Custom Metal Jeans Buttons
Saturday, May 10, 2008
In designing my boys’ denim and twill pants, I need to get moving on ordering custom metal jeans buttons. I’m undecided on which design to go with–a subway token or a sewer/manhole cover design. Either metal button would need to be customized. These are not final designs, just me and my friends playing with our graphics programs.
First, the NYC Subway Token…
Next, the NYC Sewer/Manhole Cover
I will eventually do both designs, please need to select ONE for the first collection. Which do you prefer?
Also, if anyone has a good source for custom metal jeans buttons, I’d love a recommendation (whether US or overseas).
Hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing Saturday!

I like both of them, but because we live where there isn’t a subway, the token wouldn’t be obvious to me. So manhole. :o)

I love both of them, but would choose the manholecover.
That’s more clearer downtown than the subway token.
good luck on your collection

Since I’m in the stormwater business I’m partical to the manhole cover, but I also think it would allow the buttons to relatebetter to areas that don’t have subways. Manhole covers are more universally iconic.

I like the manhole/sewer cover best. Looks more unique than the subway token.

LOVE the manhole cover! My sons are really into Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they’d love those best too.

Can you post a tutorial (or the actual vector or photoshop file???) as to how you created the subway token art? I have a project I’m working on in which I need that pattern…I have Illustrator and Photoshop.
Thank you so much!
