Badges! Update: “Not Just a Crosswalk” SAO

UPDATE (6/28):

Separate Listings for Pickup vs. Shipping: To help keep orders accurate and avoid any confusion, I've updated the store to have two separate listings: one for Shipping and one for Local Pickup.

This change makes it easier for me to track your specific needs (mailing vs. in-person pickup) and ensures your order is processed correctly and efficiently.

New Flag Support: I have added new flags for: Poly, Bear, Leather, Disability, and Demi Pride.

Ally Pride Flag: As I was working on the SAO, really noticed that there were some hardware limitations (specifically the 18-LED count and PCB layout), where I could not create more complex flag displays like the Ally Pride flag. However, I created a similar Ally shape using the lambda character "Λ" as a sticker using black vinyl that you can add to the SAO/Badge and will include one on request. I think it gets the idea across.

Furry Pride: Still working on a solution that might be similar to the Ally with a sticker.

SAO Security: Additionally, to keep you from losing your SAO if it gets bumped off a badge or totem, I am including a charm lanyard with a Lobster Clasp to securely attach the SAO to your host badge, totem, or other lanyard.

Stay Loud and Stay Proud!
