Cutoff denim jacket and patches
Oddjob:
I've ordered 50, the background will be a dark grey as I thought it would make the badge part stand out better.
Once I have some concept pics I'll post them, cost if you're interested will be around £6-8 depending on whether I go with metallic thread on parts of the badge.
Oddjob:
Just got the artwork through from the manufacturers.
Don't forget, these are just 2D digital images, the real badges are fully embroidered so the side panel badge part will stand away from the backing twill or cloth.
This is the way it looks now. The background is this material. Just so you can get a visual of the finished badge. I thought black would be better at first but then the edge of the badge gets lost with black on black etc and I wanted a colour that wouldn't show dirt that badly.
The gold border is this thread.
The chrome lettering is done is metallic thread.
The orange F part in this thread.
And these are the final images for me to chose between.
I asked them to change the odd bits on the border, the little pinched bit on the 5 and the outline of the F to reflect what the actual badge looks like, it's surrounded by a raised chrome border. This arrived this morning.
I now have to chose which version looks the best. Hence why I'm posting. The bottom pic is closer to the actual badge but the top pic has the F part better defined.
What do you think?

Any nomenclature similarity between living people or members is completely coincidental.

Not a bad idea Ted, we could maybe think about a SOHC members badge, maybe in cloth and metal. It's just the artwork that may be a bone of contention.
Suggestions anyone? We clearly can't have one for each model but maybe we could have the most common, 400, 500, 550 and 750.

I would definitely buy a 400four badge in the side panel font, maybe a SOHC one as well. Great idea. 👍

If these go well I'll think about doing a 400 four one as well.
Gold lettering? on what colour background though, black might be nice. Good contrast. Or maybe so many red, blue and yellow?
