Default Dorki grill badges

A good friend of mine is a coordinator for the 912 club in Texas. They had some fantastic grill badges made up with their club logo. these are 4" diameter metal badges with baked enamel finish. They would be similar to the PCA grill badges or the large collection available in the PP glossy catalog.

I think the minimum order is 50 and this works out to be about $45 each. This includes any artwork and setup fees. I am willing to coordinate the order if there is enough interest. I would ask for the following: all orders are paid in full up front and I get help and suggestions with the artwork.

Here is an example of the artwork on their badge.




HMM my picture will not post.

I was thinking of the logo at the top of the page. this could be over a map like drawing of NOVA, DC and MD. Simple, elegant. Of course, the T-shirt logo would work too. Jim, does Dino want to be famous again?

Let me know what kind of interest there is and maybe we could go forward with them.

Good idea, I'm in. Pari could put it by his SCWDP sticker

lets try this image another way...

Still didn't work. I guess its too big. Time to resize.



Finally it worked.

This is a sample of the artwork that was previously used. We can submit just about anything. I saw the prototypes and they are very nice. They can be mounted using 2 sided tape for those 944/boxster drivers or two small bolts and a backer plate through the grill for most everyone else.

Well, except for the reference to Texas and 912's (sorry Kurt!!!), I like it.

Jim, No worries, I too like the badge idea, in fact I already have a nice badge from the 912 registry on the back so you, Smackpipes and Pari can tell for sure what just went past you. Yes sir, 1.72L of pure pushrod fury!

So does that mean if I drive Hollywood and you drive Dino, ol' Hollywood's gonna smoke your (and Dino's) butt?

It all boils down to who sucks. Right now, that's me. Dino, on the other hand, doesn't.

Looks good to me, I will take a couple. How about a smaller "pin" version too? Maybe then I could pry the P emblem off the steering wheel and put on the proper one.

I will check on a smaller version.

Any ideas for artwork?

Do we just want the Dorki logo on the top of this page. I am sure the sillouette would be cool.
