The newest design for a jacket patch can be viewed at
If we can't get consensus on this, and that may be real difficult to do given the diverse individualism of the Membership here, you're welcome to just use this design for anything you want...screen saver, make a decal for your toolbox, tattoo your poodle, project it into the night over Gotham City...
Your comments are welcome.

Pete,
I like it. It seems innocent enough as not to irk anyone one the street, yet stylish enough to be worn with pride. Looks like a winner to me.

Real helpful feedback there, Waltman. You must have been the Marketing Director for ExLax at one point in your career.
Earl, we tried "HAYABUSA" in flowing type, but it fights the bird graphic. We WILL try other colors for that word, though, thanks. Might go for a sky blue background, too.
Vegas, can you be more specific about your reservations? I'll try to address them.
Thank you others for your considered comments. There seems to be enough acceptance of the concept to go ahead and refine it to finish now.
We'll take it to a final version with the patch border shown so you can see how it would look on both dark and light backgrounds.
What size (width in inches) do you think it should be?
Someone...I'm not sure who...will get back on here with ordering instructions, prices, delivery dates, etc.
Any more comments from others are still welcome of course. Except for Waltman.
Waltman? Waltman?! In the shitter again?

I think it should look faster.
Like a more rounded & flowing design, aerodynamic if you will, more indicative of the bike & its speed. How about an oval leading edge trailing off into a point at the back.
Just my 2c. Thanks for the work though

You might want to make a smaller version to put on a cap.

My opinion (if anyone cares), I don't think that logo/patch resembles a Busa MC. It's a flashy logo and all, but I wouldn't want it as a patch/decal to put on my jacket/bike.
You should take a destinctive feature, like the upper fairing, front view and maybe wrap text around it etc, so everyone knows exactly what you are all about!

I am with these guys! How about an upper faring doing about a buck sixty over a skull and crossbones with two stickers on either side that say super toughguy. Then we run two chains from the patch and connect one to the busa crest [new design] and the other to a pendant that shows how many posts you have on Hayabusa.org. I favor this design because of its tasteful simplicity.
P.S. Maybe this can all be super imposed over a couple of falcons fighting. Just so they know what we are all about.

Honestly Pete, did your grandson design that patch?
Seriously, for a patch I would like to see the head of the Hayabusa falcon (not a cartoon), the japanese logo as a watermark, behind the head of the falcon and the text HAYABUSA on the top of the head, close to the border of the patch, and the word ORG below the head.

I like your vision waltman are you in marketing too? But how the heck are we all gonna get falcon heads? Aren't they an endangered species? And what are we gonna say to the PETA people when they see us all wearing falcon heads on our patch? Tell you what, thos PETA people scare me more than the other MC's.

The bird idea is good, but lets hit home with it.
IMAGINE THIS SCENARIO, almost lifelike!
A group of falcons flying in a circle almost fighting with each other while they dive down to scoop up a free speedo corection module, that was left for the crying vultures from another board member.
The current design looks to me a bit borrowed from a thrush miffler logo and so therefore it looks a little dated, Dirty Pete I would go back to the USAF book and rework something from that venue. The Falcon is a Preditor not a Road Runner, Vulture, Woodpecker, or a Thrush.
