Title: OOF Emblem Badges
Post by: JueV6 on 25 July 2008, 21:42:44
OK, Admin have given the go ahead for me to see about getting some OOF badges made. I have liased with a company that will engrave or lazer cut the OOF Oval. Thay have sent me 2 samples.



[size=16]The 1st is 0.8mm Brushed Aluminium engraved to approx 0.3mm
The sample they sent is 93mm x 33mm[/size]

[size=16]The Second sample is 0.8mm Stainless Steel with Laser cut wording.
It also has a web address engraved.
This sample is 60mm x 33mm[/size]

[size=16]This Picture shows the 2 samples and a OOF badge measuring 85mm x 35mm.[/size]

Since the original idea was posted in Suggestions, a number of people have shown interest.
To make this idea come into reality  we need to place an order for 30 badges.

so [size=16]NOW[/size] is the time to choose the style that you would like.

If you have any views or questions just ask away :y

The other 2 are just samples of previous work so I/We could get an idea what the OOF Emblem would look like in Stainless Steel or Brushed Ali / Engraved or Laser Cut.

It will be the OOF Oval, What ever finish is decided.

The Emblem will be self adhesive

You know when u go to a house and u have only just seen it but are already planning where all your furniture will fit lol?  I am already planning where the OOF emblems would look good (one on either side of the front grill) and wondering if I can make another into a fridge magnet ha ha.

As I voted .. Brushed Aluminium, Engraved .. I'm very interested .. but I'm away for the next month-ish ..  so if this ends up the chosen one, and the purchase goes ahead can you put one aside for me and I'll sort out payment when I return ???

I'd hate to lose out simply by not being around  :y :y :y

The only problem I can forsee is if the logo is cut out it will not be very visible on a silver car!!

as of price.

£5.99 per badge, if there is enough intrest then we may be able to get discount for ordering multiples of 30

spoke to Mike today to find out what changes we can make once the tooling has beed made.

We have to decide on laser cut or engraved,to know what tooling is needed, once the tooling has been made we can have what ever material we would like.

Stainless, Ali, Brass, etc

I personally thing we need to go engraved, I like the laser cut stuff but I don't think its gonna work for everyone, ie. on light coloured cars the logo won't be very visible.

I agree, then if the engraving is deep enough then we could paint the grooves and repolish the surface to make it all stand out.  :D

General consensus say's that the "Brushed Aluminium with Engraved Lettering" is the faverite design.

I'm going to close the poll.

If you would like one of the OMEGAOWNERS Emblem Badges, put you name below and the quantity required. the cost of each badge will be £5.99 + £0.50 P&P

If you order a 2nd badge (or more) at the same time, I can supply them at £4.99 + £0.20 P&P

I have been able to obtain a multiple order discount from the manufacturer so this is a very reasonable price for the quality seen.  However, this does mean I CANNOT order any until I receive payment for 30 or more.

Let me know if u would like to order  :y
