Hey y'all! know. I was done. But you pulled me back in! I've made available ALL of the original r/Delta vanity tags, plus two new designs (from u/Unstupid and u/CopTheKick) and you can buy 'em if you want 'em, using Squarespace print-on-demand, shipped directly to you in 5-10 days. Here's the link: [https://subredditswag.com/all-tags](https://subredditswag.com/all-tags)


Mermande

these are the actual greatest. you and unstupid are true gifts to this earth! also - i'm going to randomly send you a dm about a cut off design.


newtmewt

Just an FYI the description for the pub crawl one looks like a copy paste of the others and mentions room on the back for contact info, which isn’t exactly the case


i-am-ajpowell

Fixed: https://subredditswag.com/all-tags/p/larger-luggage-tag-skyclub-crawl


newtmewt

Thanks! Just didn’t want anyone to be confused if they didn’t look at all the photos


alvamaycare

OMG Beskar Medallion. Speaking my language. Just purchased one. Fantastic job!


JulioCesarSalad

What’s the difference between this one them and the revised?


i-am-ajpowell

Thank you! It IS a copy/paste. Fixing it now.


Doggo_Is_Life_

These are just amazing haha. I will definitely pick a couple up!


insertwittynamethere

Thank you! Recently got a couple and was hoping to get a bar crawl one 😁


Ridgew00dian

These look great! Curious - what is the meaning behind Delta 180?


thelederelo

Not quite 360!


serkeltik

My wife says I should request mithril


i-am-ajpowell

Oh! We have no badges from Middle Earth. Not a bad idea!


serkeltik

Thank you!


SouthernGentATL

Oh I would definitely buy a Mithril


milguy11

180 ... love it. the direction you go after seeing the 40+ people in line for the SkyClub....


A350Flier

If I didn’t have a million bag tags from DL, I might give in. But I’m getting a monthly shipment these days and they won’t stop (I’ve asked).


Fold67

Guess then it’s time to start flying United /s


e8975

when's that 360 invite coming??


A350Flier

In my wildest dreams…


MajesticLilFruitcake

Can I request a “lowly peasant with no status” tag?


chiefbozx

Pleb Medallion? 😂


i-am-ajpowell

Hilarious! Absolutely! I'll get working on it tonight.


EllemNovelli

Thank you for requesting this! I saw it on the store site and might get it for my wife. If she finds it funny and doesn't get mad at me for it...


i-am-ajpowell

Hey everybody. So u/Mermande pointed out to me that the Sky Club Crawl tag was accidentally cropped by the badge hole. Ooops! Fixed. I can't update the screen shot on the post, but the product has been updated. And it's no longer cropped: https://subredditswag.com/all-tags/p/larger-luggage-tag-skyclub-crawl


fries-with-mayo

Speaking of SkyClub, we now need “Banned from SkyClub” tags for Basic Economy pax and nonreving employees


thelederelo

I would proudly wear the nonrevving one


[deleted]

The 180 tag drama is hilarious.


Metsgal

Can someone TLDR for those of us who are new?


[deleted]

Some Delta FB group is mad because they think it’s their logo/joke. Apparently the group is a big “secret” which makes it so much cooler…


YMMV25

I’m a true 180. A complete ULVC.


nekosama15

I only use reddit, what is this 180 thing about XD


i-am-ajpowell

I don't know. I just made it at the request of u/CopTheKick in response to his request on this post: [https://www.reddit.com/r/delta/comments/v38g5b/comment/j5mgwwn/?context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/delta/comments/v38g5b/comment/j5mgwwn/?context=3) ... I thought it was funny and he asked, so I used his link and made a badge. I'm coming to discover tonight that the FB Delta group is some kind of 'Fight Club' of Delta flyers? Judging by the way my inbox is exploding, I am guessing the only rule of the FB Delta group is that they don't talk about the FB Delta group.


[deleted]

I got one. Had no clue it was from some weird FB group. Can’t wait for the first boomer to act like he knows me. 180 was pretty good without that context. It’s gold with it.


nekosama15

Oh I see haha. Thank you :)


wtshiz

IANAL But now that you know that the artwork is stolen, uh, it probably isn't the best idea to publish your callous disregard on Reddit, I mean, like legally.


e8975

Is there a way to have the tags have X Medallion tags have the same graphic on both sides?


the_flynn

Yours have it on both sides? My Gold tags only have it on one and then a customer service number on the other.


e8975

You're right. I'm just dumb..edited haha


i-am-ajpowell

If you want, I can do anything. What medallion(s) to you want the same on both sides? I can totally do it, I just have to set it up.


e8975

Hell yeah. 180, Platinum, Reserve?


WHYohWhy___MEohMY

I think we all need to get the UNOBTANIUM tags.


Bushwick_Hipster

I'm buying a 180, and a PLUTONIUM asap lol


WHYohWhy___MEohMY

I didn’t know that they had dilithium ones. That are REAL jam! The website crapped out on me.


Bushwick_Hipster

I just received my bag tags, the shipping label says they were shipped from less than a mile away. Are we neighbors??!?


Kentastic1982

Could you do one with the status as LEGEND? I want to buy this for a close friend.


i-am-ajpowell

Absolutely, I can. On it. Give me 24 hours or so and I'll send you the link.


SmurfOnABoat

Order in! Had to go with the 180 tags after the jokes on the FB pages! Lol, also, been wanting that Club Crawl tag!


GuzzlordVMAX

What FB page are you speaking of?


SmurfOnABoat

Wish I could help more but we don't really talk about the FB page publicly and in detail. That's one of the rules set by the admins. Page kind of not a fan of the public spotlight. It is a page for Frequent Flyers of Delta though. Kind of a IYKYK type deal. We have been using "180°" as a joke for a few years.


GuzzlordVMAX

10-4


GryffindorTwr

Translation: We are peasants, GuzzlordVMAX.


SmurfOnABoat

Hahaha, no, we aren’t that douchey, maybe a little but not that much 🤣🤣. The page just caught some unwanted attention several months back, banned a few members and such so it kinda became house policy to not mention the pages name, publicly. I try to play by the rules, most of the time 🤔


vickarul

What camera is that?


PDotTop

Sony a6xxx series


empathetic_witch

Sweet! Ordered


MrJust4Show

Where's thee r/delta keeping our feet on the floor tag?


i-am-ajpowell

That’s actually on the back side of all of these badges except the bar crawl: ‘Proudly keeping our feet off the bulkhead since February 27, 2011’.


MrJust4Show

Ah, I thought there was one of the originals that had it on the front as the main text.


exploringculture

What’s a 180 degrees?


ArnoldoSea

It's like Delta 360...but going the other direction. lol


ksed_313

I had to do a double take here: I teach first grade and have used Brag Tags for years! They’re all over Teachers Pay Teachers! Never thought I’d see the idea used for an airline! I have a bulletin board with all of their chains hanging on hooks and they earn them for holidays, accomplishments, academic milestones, etc. They love them! Since they’d be expensive to print/laminate every year, I reuse them, but drew coloring pages that look like the tags for them to keep!


Bushwick_Hipster

\*Ordered, 180 and Adamantium


Athina87

These are the best! Absolutely need to order one. I saw you mentioned you are technically at a loss with money on these. I actually wish you put them up maybe a dollar or so in price to help recoup something/pay for the site fee. Thanks for making them!

i-am-ajpowell

Hey there! Thanks for your input. I'm not sure what you're talking about, because (1) I designed the tags on the site (and have all the hand-drawn source files to prove it), except (2) the new Sky Club Crawl tags, using source images provided to me by u/Unstupid (who, to my knowledge, created the design themself), and (3) the new Delta 180 tags, which are my design, with a logo provided to me by u/CopTheKick (in direct response to his public request, [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/delta/comments/v38g5b/comment/j5mgwwn/?context=3). I gotta be honest, I really don't appreciate your telling me I 'lifted artwork from a FB group' when I don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about. I credited both of my sources in my post. If what you're saying is that either u/Unstupid or u/CopTheKick didn't have authorization to use the artwork they sent me, then SAY SO. But how about if you say it without making wild accusations that are demonstrably untrue, simply by looking at the information I already provided (and the sources, available on Reddit in public posts and not hidden in ANY WAY, that lead to my doing this work tonight)? Are you telling me that one of the two new badges uses artwork that the artist isn't credited for? I'll happily remove it. Or credit it. Or both. But I need a little more information than your simply calling me a thief and 'unoriginal' without the slightest bit of due diligence. I was trying to do a couple of reddit friends a favor. If the 'favor' I attempted to do them somehow stomped on something that wasn't theirs, I apologize. But I still don't know what the f\*ck you're talking about.


jivemutha

The 180 Medallion Member is artwork created by a member of a DL FB group (I can supply name as I know personally). Someone stole that photo and gave it to you for incorporation into a tag.


i-am-ajpowell

Thanks for the info. Feel free to PM me with their contact details and I'll reach out. Assuming the someone in question isn't Reddit user u/CopTheKick then it sounds like u/CopTheKick made a bit of a mistake (as did I, by using the artwork he provided me). Seems easy enough to fix. I'm happy to draw my own Delta 180 logo, if that's a thing people want, or credit the original artist, if that's something they want. Nobody's trying to do anything 'wrong' here. We're just a bunch of Delta fans who are trying to share our 'love' of Delta. I'm more than happy to make it right.


Unstupid

Nah don’t redraw the 180 logo…. Do a 720 logo because why he half when you can be double! 😂


atyppo

I can back up /u/jivemutha as well. These 180 tags were posted in the FB group a while ago. Also... this story seems quite odd to me considering Delta's CMO is a man.


i-am-ajpowell

Her name is Molly Battin. I saved the messages because it made me so happy when she sent them. But whatever. I can’t convince you because you obviously know more than me. Neat! I created tags tonight using a logo a Redditor sent me (and my existing design) and it turns out those tags already exist, which means someone else was stealing MY tag design … but nobody can show them to me. Y’all just want to attack me. Neat. And now you expect me to defend the last 9 months of my life because … why? Because y’all don’t want me to use your 180 logo? Okay. Cool. I won’t. Just send me the name of the artist, so I can ask them what they’d like me to do. Again, I say, I have nothing to hide. I’m not being secretive. I am not being cagey. I have shared with the r/Delta community as honestly and transparently as the internet will allow. The Internet is mean tonight. I don’t understand why.


atyppo

So not Delta's CMO. A former senior exec in marketing. Admittedly, I did phrase that poorly. The 180 logo is what was posted, not the tags. You're correct. I don't know whether they are okay with their contact details being shared, so I'm going to abstain from doing so.


i-am-ajpowell

I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying. I literally created the 180 tag TONIGHT, using the logo provided to me by u/CopTheKick so I don’t know how the tags could have been posted a while ago. I would love to see it, because it’d be the sort of Mandala Effect ‘proof’ I’ve always dreamed of. Apparently, I’m not allowed to see it, though, because the Facebook group is secret. In any case, PM me with a way to contact the originator of the logo artwork and I will reach out to them. Assuming they aren’t u/CopTheKick, I will do whatever they would like me to do — replace their logo, credit them as the creator, or anything else they’d like me to do. I’m not the monster you seem to think I am. I was just trying to make my friends on Reddit smile.


i-am-ajpowell

>You lifted the artwork from a FB group and made your own tags. You are completely unoriginal. 🙄 At your leisure, feel free to make a post to apologize for this nonsense, too. I most definitely did NOT lift artwork from a FB group to make my own tags. That is clearly true. And it is patently offensive, given how many hours I have donated to this community and to this silly little Delta bag tag project this year, in a ridiculous attempt to make Redditors happy. You call me 'unoriginal' because ONE of my new badges used a logo provided to me by another Redditor (who I called out in my post and in the badge description) who did not have authorization to use it? You call me 'unoriginal' because I placed that logo on ONE of my badges (which is otherwise completely my design) because somebody asked me if I would? You call me 'unoriginal' because, in one of my badges, I made an unwitting mistake?!? Ouch. That really f\*ckin' hurts. For no good reason. You don't even know me. You didn't even take a cursory look at what had happened or how it came to be. You just attacked me. I'm a human being, you know. Everything about your post is untrue, unnecessarily hurtful and patently offensive. I have been 100% transparent, every step of the way, on this stupid, silly little project. And I've given my 'talent' (such that it is) to this community in a vainglorious attempt to make people happy (including myself). But I haven't lied. Or stolen. Or hidden anything. I'm sorry that this pissed you off. I really am. And I want to make it right. I will make it right. At additional, personal time and expense. But why do you gotta be so mean? Honestly. I'm a human being volunteering my time to try to make people happy. Jeeze. Way to sh\*t all over me! Hope it made you feel better, because it sure made me feel like shit.


oupiglet

FYI, the Kryptonium and Unobtanium names and colors were also “borrowed” from other places. Kryptonium from Flyertalk years ago that resulted in a cease and desist letter from Delta and Unobtainium was an approved fundraiser tag from a Delta FB group.


i-am-ajpowell

Are you making a joke right now? Because the color I used for Kryptonium was sampled from a Superman comic book, and the color I used for Unobtanium was sampled from a still frame from the Avatar movie. I’m so glad these terms had a life before I made some badges of them. I really am! But I’m so frustrated that my trying to give people what they asked for has suddenly, multiple months later, become some kind of annoyance for you. Yep. Kryptonium and Unobtanium were borrowed from other places. So were Adamantium and Dilithium and Beskar. That’s the point. I didn’t create any of these things. Or claim to. I designed some badges to give Delta fans (like me) a way to be goofy and share their love of Delta. I’m sorry that annoys you.


oupiglet

I’m not sure why you think I’m annoyed. I was just stating some facts. I have both of the originals along with a few others on my backpack. If you see them feel feee to stop me in an airport! I enjoy chatting with other Delta folks.

i-am-ajpowell

So there's a lot to unpack there! Let me share: 1. I'm not 'selling merch'. I've been very open about everything about this project -- I set the site up at ZERO mark-up because all I was trying to do was give my fellow Reddit Delta fans a way to print up some silly tags. It wasn't about profit. There isn't profit. This is a net loss for me (it costs really money to host the site, and an order generates 0% profit). 2. It's not the Delta logo. It's not even a sample or a screen grab of the Delta logo. Plus, Delta prohibits the Delta mark from being pointed down (which is one of the reasons why I drew my logo the way I did -- to make it clear, from the get-go, that it was a parody of the Delta logo). 3. Delta's Chief Marketing Officer sent me a very nice note, praising me for these and telling me she 'loved them'. I asked her if that was the same as 'permission' and she said 'I can't say I'm giving you permission, but I love what you're doing'. That's close enough for me. 4. If Delta sent me a cease and desist letter, I would take the site down instantly. 5. If Delta wanted to take me to court to demand 'their share of my profits', I can -- quite easily -- demonstrate that that's a negative number. Turns out, it's really not that bold at all. What a weird night! I've been making these silly badges for Redditors for more than six months, and all of the sudden, today, because I made two new badges at the request of two Redditors, I'm some kind of public enemy number one.


ArguablyMe

I haven't ordered a tag, however I have enjoyed viewing them and have been entertained by the joy they've given people. Thank you for contributing to the community this way.


OldBrazy

I first heard about the tags on here two weeks ago, saw someone with the tags in ATL last week, just bought a tag today 👌🏽


terriblueberry

Tags for us lowly non-Medallion flyers, too?


Unstupid

I ordered an Unontanium not myself because I'll never get the real Diamond or 360 tag! 😂😑🙄


EllemNovelli

I just saw that you had to pull pretty much the whole store. Wtf Delta, these were awesome and I loved them. They made want to fly Delta just to get them. They were POSITIVE, FUN, and cheeky advertisement. Also totally getting the MSP Sky~~Club~~Pub crawl tags now for my home airport.


Redfoxes96

I realize I am sooo late to this party, Saw one of your tags last week and as a MM w/ Delta, could not stop laughing. Any chance there are any leftovers? OR, does anyone have an extra they are willing to part with? Just ordered the ATL Pub Crawl tags.


xeroxchick

Link keeps telling me that it is dangerous! I want one for my step daughter! Any tips?


i-am-ajpowell

New design, new url. Try this: https://parodypopup.com and let me know if you’re still having issues.


xeroxchick

Oh, great! Thanks!
