Bespoke "86" Badges

Greetings Ya'all

As part of my VEERRY drawn out personalisation of my '86 I have decided to make up my very own badges.

These are all a modification of the "86" logo.. I have only completed the 3D print of the front page.. it is based on the Toyota badge size wise and seats the 86 logo inside the classic Toyota Oval

The rear trunk badge will be an enlarged version of the side "86" logo, complete with the stylised boxed engine emblem.. this will be about 3.5 times larger than the normal side ones.

Front and back badges will either be finished in coloured pewter or colour anodised or powder coated aluminium.

I will have the 3D print of the rear badge to show early next week..

Ok so here is a white print of the badge in situ.. the 86 logo stands proud.. the angle makes it look a little weird but I wanted it to be chunky



From the side



Slightly wider front view



The badge in hand to give an idea of size and detail



And a close up of the badge in place... we have made the little pins at the back so it will mount up perfectly in place with some 3M tape

Reupload? The first few pictures are down. This sounds interesting though. Can't wait to see the final product! If we get enough interest going, will you make some more and sell them?

re-loaded..

I'm not a vendor but if I get a whole bunch of you wanting them .. then sure.. I'll contact the admins and first get a vendor status.. I've spent a packet on 3D guys, a couple of 3D prints to get it right and will be testing out a couple of materials.. I'm already close to $400 in R&D (silly car fan) so I would love to be able to get some of my costs back and would be super keen to supply something cool to the community

Let's see what the finished products look like first.. I certainly wouldn't want to mass produce them if they end up looking crap - ha ha!

looks too thick, as in it protrudes too much. Make it stick out just a little bit above the toyota oval, and I think it would look better. less is more, and all that...

Ja it does look a bit like a 86 stylee sweet of sorts

I was kind of worried about the thickness but I also wanted it to be CHUNKY.. I'm hoping the shape will make more sense once it's metallic... if not it'll be back to the drawing board.. at least one thing I can count on here is varied and constructive criticism.

Agreed with everyone else-- Not a fan of the thickness, but really like the idea!
