Description
I consider myself somewhat of a furry (though not as much as some), and I'm also a Christian (of the Methodist denomination). Earlier this week, I realized how much the flame of the Methodist symbol resembled a fox tail, and I thought to myself "I've GOTTA make this." So tonight I sat down and made the idea come to life.
I tried giving it an overlay to make it seem more like a physical button/badge than just a digital creation. Let me know how convincing you find the look. (In looking for post-processing filters, I came across one filter that gave the design a WICKED AWESOME embossed-metal look, which was too good not to share: sta.sh/0bfkhi98fpt)
I spent about three hours on this. A good hour of it was spent figuring out how to place the letters around the image. I couldn't just add an arc bend to a string of text in Photoshop because the badge was elliptical, not circular, so what I ended up doing was constructing a "peg" frame that placed the centers of the letters 150 pixels apart, following the middle of the border, while adding a series of perpendicular lines that acted as a guide for rotating each letter individually. In the end, the different sizes of the letters made me deviate from the frame approach, to reduce the look of clumping.

If you consider yourself a Christian furry too, I encourage you to use this badge to show it. All I ask is that you give me credit for it.
EDIT 4/2/19: At the time I made this badge, I realize now that I was merely a furry sympathizer/supporter, not a full-fledged furry. For years after I designed this, I'd been encouraging folks to wear this badge themselves at furry conventions, yet I'd never seen photo proof that it ever took place. Well, things are different now. I officially joined the furry fandom in March 2018 when I designed myself a proper fursona (Intaglio the dragon). And in March 2019, after many months of attending small local fur meets, I had an opportunity to attend my first furry convention, and put both of my badges to use! Observe.
