Two months ago I received a mail from André Menks a member of Multilogica Shop, a brazilian Arduino supplier. They had the idea of to producing an embroidered Arduino patch for handing it out to their customers. They were not sure, if they could have the right to use the logo for that. As the creator of the icon we had an agreement with David A. Mellis to publish it under Wikimedia Creative Commons. André told us about that they were planing, because this should be a »real« extension of our creation. We realley loved that idea and customized the logo a bit, so that the vector file was perfect for the stitchery. After that they only had to order the production at a specialized company and wait for the results. André and his guys from Multilogica Shop were satisfied.

Two days ago we received a package with three samples and we definitely like it. It‘s a good feeling to see something that was created for screen usage, getting to a real product, that can be touched. If you are in Brazil you have the choice to be one of the firsts to use the Arduino icon patch. It has approximately 6,5 cm and can be hot applied on T-shirts, caps backpacks or wherever you imagine. By this moment they recommend to take care in applying over synthetic fabrics. Soon they will publish a tutorial about application. If you want you can order it for 10 Reais (4,40 EUR) at their Shop.
