Default A Request for our Graphic Artists

Can one of you come up with a decal or badge like this, but with modifications for the Crossfire. I was thinking replacing the Porsche crest with the Benz star, and maybe incorporating the Chrysler name/wing into it. Here's a rough idea of what I'm referring to.

FP, do you think this will work for you?

Nice job Rudy!

Looks better than the original.

Thank you.

FP,

I made it in Illustrator so it wouldn't take very much to have it made into a decal or badge.

I like it Rudy. It looks great. Now, who can get them done?

I'm interested in a decal, but a badge would look great on the door sills as well. Like the old "Body by Fisher".

BTW, can you send me the AI file?

They look sharp but the KARMANN looks funny. Was the font changed on purpose? Not saying it looks bad, just different.

Just winging it! What font did you use? Not sure what Karmann used.

I recreated the whole thing from scratch; no fonts involved.

Wow! Nice work.
FP's "Kamann" font looks a bit different than our factory emblems. Do you know which is correct?

They are both correct. One is the shield and the other is the badge.

Cool, good to know. Looks like the one you created would be way easier to duplicate. Might have to adjust my files. Thanks for the help!

I've been working on this for awhile. Anyone interested in something like this as an emblem?

I would like number 2 in post 7 as emblems. And when you do the hats, add that to the hat on the back....

Thanks guys! If I used #2 on the back hat band it probably would only be the Mercedes emblem next to the Kamann type, embroidery and small fonts do not mix. I would have to price it out, and see how much damage it would add to the bottom line.

I really like it if the winged wheel of H82BL8's #5, was placed over the lettering (on top) and badge design and lettering of #6.
