PM me your email address if you want the vector are from the one I did with the correct Karmann font style.

Re: A Request for our Graphic Artists

I could definitely see number 10 as a replacement for my current badge. I would be in for a pair. Have you given any thought to the colors for it?

OK, back topic. We are still talking about this set, right?

Number 5 looks great. What about a couple of decals matching the wheel from it, to go in the center of the stock winged Chrysler emblems on the front and back of the car as well?

Re: A Request for our Graphic Artists

Hey FP do you want to see the "correct Karmann" font in these designs? I can get it from Rcompart.

Yes, I think it would be best.

I agree. It would make a nice patch for the back of the CICCI caps too.

Re: A Request for our Graphic Artists

I'm thinking this Chrysler font would also look good above the slasher stripes, or the same font for Roadster...

Re: A Request for our Graphic Artists

Just a quick point regarding the different fonts used in some of these - historically, a company will change, alter or evolve their logo over the years. The first image FP posted was taken from an older version of Karmann's logo, the ones sent to several of us in the past couple years are the simply the latest iteration of the Karmann logo. Hemming's Sports & Exotic Cars magazine has a brief article every month on the changing logo of a specific brand. Sometimes the changes are subtle, even over a period of several decades, and sometimes there are wholesale changes.

As for the wide variety of logos that have been designed here (great work, by the way) I know that I would not be interested in anything featuring the MB 3 pointed star. I love the Mercedes brand, especially the history involved with it, but the Crossfire was never marketed as a Mercedes and I would never put Mercedes badging on it, nor would I wear Mercedes branded clothing associated with the Crossfire. Yes, it is essentially a Mercedes Benz SLK with a body kit, there's no denying that. But it is not a Mercedes Benz. Ask 99.3% of MB dealers.

That said, I love #4 & #5 in the grouping from H82BL8 Just my nickels worth.
