Here is a club badge idea I was playing with. I don’t like the text (or words) in the “bezel” part of it. Plus keep in mind that I did it fairly quickly so the “gears” around it aren’t spaced correctly. I’m also not sure about colors. This is just and idea or exercise in futility.

Mike that look GREAT!!! I like the color combo.

Posted by: Bartlett 914 Jun 9 2006, 07:28 AM

Nice job Mike. I like it.

But I think the bumper and fog light look a little out of scale to the rest of the car. Just an observation not criticism.

I predict letters from lawyers.

i like the club badge idea, but i agree the teener is out of proportion.
I was hoping for the outline of the teener you see after the web id.
Does anyone know if there is a sticker out of it i would like to add it to my teener.

DIG IT!

We have had threads about badges several times in the past. I hope we will decide to do something soon. Here are a few of the previous ideas.

Nice.... I like...

Posted by: turboman808 Jun 9 2006, 10:18 AM

The original is the best. The black one isn't bad. Little work and it would be real nice.

Posted by: mudfoot76 Jun 9 2006, 10:23 AM

These would make for some bitchin' cuff links

Posted by: Gint Jun 9 2006, 10:30 AM

Please don't take this as me being a dick, because it's not intended that way. The fact is you'll need permission from the admin team before using 914world.com name and/or logo.

Personally, I really like it.

Posted by: TROJANMAN Jun 9 2006, 10:41 AM

we're all too cheap for lawyers. we prefer bitching and crying (you'll see )



BTW, nice design. Color Choice of cars would be awesome

Posted by: alpha434 Jun 9 2006, 10:48 AM

We probly won't get letters from lawyers if we aren't "selling" the badges. Only accept paypal donations for your 914 project or something.

But DAMN! That is one GOOD looking badge! I would crap a brick to have one of those.

So... Here's the plan. Produce one high volume batch. 500 badges. Never produce again. By the time lawyers get in the mix, you can just tell them that they will no longer be produced or sold.

Posted by: drewvw Jun 9 2006, 10:51 AM

I like em, but not enough to crap a brick. Let me know if the price goes down and I am in!

Posted by: JPB Jun 9 2006, 10:55 AM

I'd like a badge for my beast. Are these still for sale or are we looking for a new design?


Me like, me want.

Posted by: Leo Imperial Jun 9 2006, 12:08 PM

I made a few adjustments.

That looks more like my car now (except for the color).

I think the oval badge a few posts up would make a good belt buckle.

HELL YA! Zambezi baby.....

Posted by: VegasRacer Jun 18 2006, 06:07 AM

Lookie at what I found.



Now I know who made the first batch.

Posted by: jim_hoyland Jun 18 2006, 07:11 AM

Very nice !

Posted by: BarberDave Jun 18 2006, 07:33 AM

What's the statis on this project? Good idea i think. Let's get going.

Posted by: JPB Jun 18 2006, 11:32 AM

Since ya know who made them, can we get more? I like the old one.

Posted by: GWN7 Jun 18 2006, 03:17 PM

If I remember rightly from the previous thread on these (heads a bit fuzzy today), the original manufacture wanted a fair number to be ordered before the price went down to acceptable levels.

Posted by: Hydra Jun 18 2006, 04:14 PM

the black oval one looks great!!!
what was he price for the old one?

Posted by: VegasRacer Jun 18 2006, 04:29 PM

The price on the web site suggest that it would cost $23.75 each for the old style, if we got 200. I think we can do better. Plus, 200 badges might be to many. If we could find 100 for $20 each, that would we perfect. I will keep looking.

I would be happy to take on this project, but first there has be be approval from the Admin. All of the designs so far look good, but there are none that scream 'this is the one'. I like the black oval best, but it seems a little to modern.

Posted by: BarberDave Jun 18 2006, 06:37 PM

I believe the one on the upper left corner of JPB's post is the badge for the old 914 group. Recently resurrected on yahoo. Better check with the the man, Dennis Deeds ( I think) . I could be all wrong,but think not. Dave Darling jump in here. or anyone who is more sure than i am. Dave

I like Michael's idea for a badge, the one he posted when he
started this thread. It looks like he has invested some time
into this and I, for one, would like to see how far he can take
this. He may already have a source for the badges. The close
up of the 914 front section is striking and leaves little doubt that
the 914 is a unique auto.

The shield shaped badge is from the old Renagade 914 club,
and many will recognise it as such. We need a new badge for
this "new" club.

Posted by: seanery Jun 19 2006, 09:38 PM

I like a lot of the versions that have been shown, in this thread and in others discussing this topic, but here's the deal:

If and when it is decided by the management that we want to pursue creating 914Club badges, we (the management) will take care of it.

We're working on changes that will get more product into club member's hands more quickly, but it will take us some time and limited sale items, unfortunately, will probably be put at the bottom of the list.

For our black tie events?

BADGES???? WE DON'T NEED....

Posted by: dekman Jun 19 2006, 10:17 PM

If done "old style"....I think they are classy and look vintage! I like the round, gear style. Count me in! Come'on Howard....it might even dress-up the tail-dragger!

Hi gang

We the admin team GREATLY appreciate the efforts by all of you!!

however,

We dont believe it is too much to ask: PLEASE run all graphics/thoughts/idea's/past ANY of the admins via a PM or EMAIL prior to a clubsite public "blast". The admin group is in place to uphold a certain quality standard for ALL products that bare the 914Club name. Many times we have seen SHIT produced by other groups for other clubs. We wont have it. It is much easier to have 1-2 people who understand what we want quality wise help make the GO/NO GO decision (or to make a minor change to the product if need be)


Bottom line: run it past us first. If you dont get a response within a day, try again. We are not against ANY of the idea's. Many of them have been discussed over and over again.

Yeah I like the old one. I've paid between 30-50 for nice badges. So if it's that much for a nice classy badge who cares.

The raised textured pewter ones are sweet. The original with maybe some new colors and a raises 914 would be pretty sweet.

The raises line like on the site would be pretty cool but please make a classy badge


Look at some of the badges on ebay right now.






Can't we get badges of this quality made in the US
