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?

I still have my old bodywarmer (remember them, Barry Sheene used to wear one over his race leathers) that I used to wear to Wimbledon Speedway back in the 80’s, it is full of the metal badges I used to buy at the time including the ‘Happiness is 40-38’ classic :D

Body warmer, that's what I had for a long time. The best had a lot of Suzuki and RG500 badges on it, my steeds of the day. Alas, no pics because I lent it a GF at just the wrong time, we parted ways and I never saw it again. (the body warmer I mean! In a way I lost two body warmers!  ;D )
