We have been getting a lot of requests for a (more or less) official 914World grille badge lately and after discussing this with the other admins, i think it's time to move forward with it.

I'd like to make this a open design contest where anyone can submit their designs and we'll pick a winner by popular vote.


There are just a few rules:

- The badge can NOT contain any trademarked items like the word PORSCHE, the Porsche crest or the Porsche font

- The design must be 914 related

- The design must fit on a badge

Must fit on a badge? Are there specific maximum dimensions?

On most badges i have seen the usable space is between 3 and 4 inches in diameter.

As a starter this is exactly what came to mind when I read this:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-865-1330224994.jpg)

Too bad they had already done it (subconsciously I must have seen this previously).
Thanks to Garold Shaffer

Perfect example of what you are looking for?

I've always liked the window decals with the World Globe in the background, and 914 World across the globe. Here's a sample for an up and coming artist:

Does the badge have to be round? (scalloped or gear edge?)
Is there a limit on the number of colors?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Any other design limits or criteria from the supplier?

What is the deadline for submissions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I'm not sure about color choices, we would need someone with more experience in producing badges to chime in here.

But my guess would be that you can't have any fine detail since they look to be enamel and i do know that fine details are not possible with that process.

I have been told that 3" is the standard diameter of the usable area, regardless of the edge design of the badge.


I have an idea myself, i'll probably have a mockup ready in a day or two.

Also, there really is no deadline for this. I'd like to get several designs in and then have the collective vote on them.

Badges should be limited to about 10 colors to be easier to produce, you can have a pretty good detail, down to about 3/32", the problem is the detail is lost over 5' away. Take the 10 city German badge.

Just a thought- probably a serious PITA & too expensive, but color matching badges?

Troublemaker.

Drinking wine and having some cheese in the cayman now, all while ignoring your 914 duty of taking pics of your awesome 914 with hot friends.

I bet none of them think you are hot in your cayman.

Maybe you can make square badges for the cayman guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
