I've seen several things on here somewhere about badge designs. Has anyone ever made any badges that one could obtain?

If you mean badges like nosecone ones etc. I've got them from looking on the uk ebay. Search Lotus 7 or Caterham, there's lot's of badge type stuff.

"We don' need no steenkin badges!"
(Hey, somebody had to say it...)

Check out the Logo/Bumpersticker design thread, there's some good designs there.
:cheers:

I made my own. My son (who is doing a design course) did the design then modelled it in 3D. He had it 3D printed.

We gave the print to a foundry, who cast it in aluminum.

Painted and polished it by hand.

So that badge cost about $200 then. You didn't happen to do any extras?

Actually it was free as the foundry did it as a favour/training.

I do have extras but they say "John's Seven"
