A quick update today: I've received photos of the 3" Deluxe Stag pin with the new enamel color! The new color is great, I'm so happy! It's a more desaturated purplish color. Please keep in mind that the lighting at the factory isn't great, but the color is more harmonious and much closer to the original concept in the mockup.

I've added a new photo of the deer to the survey for clarity and tweaked the mockup slightly to more accurately reflect the desaturated bone color.
Other Color Tweaks
The Flower pin has also had the dark pink around the outside lighted. Also, a mistake I hadn't noticed until much later has been corrected. Some of the petals were the incorrect color on my last batch of samples and I didn't notice it then. The sample now matches the original mockup and proof!

Now that the 3" Stag has a new color and all samples have been approved, production of the pins should be underway in earnest. As a reminder, I've received an estimate of 18-22 days production time.
It looks like 36 people still haven't filled out surveys. Please fill out your survey if you haven't already. I'll be looking to lock surveys In a few weeks' time, but I'll be sure to post an update before I do!
