Off topic, sorry:

2 things

Thing 1: I am using font size 5 way more than usual.

Thing 2: The badges are going to have the letters and the image cut INTO the badge. There is a 30% fee to have it reverse milled and 99% of us are wanting to keep this >$100 so DONE!

Normally they are $65 each so expect that and when we get the actual cost (I'm thinking around 20% off) you can be super excited

Ok, I'm gonna do a little editing here and there in the other thread as soon as David get's back to me with an image update I've asked him for.

Just a heads up Apoc, so when you see this post, after I've adjusted the other thread can you please make sure the info is correct?

Thanks.

Stewart

I think I will go with painted lettering, and satin face. Is that possible? Or is powdercoating the best option for that set up?

Thanks again for doing this and answering my dumb assed questions.

They wouldn't be dumb if someone (me) understood you in the beginning and was able to answer you correctly

I was misreading a few questions and after talking to Stewart we got a lot of things straightened out and it's way more on track.

So, here you go Stewart, this is about as close as I can get to showing an all billet version.

Hope this works and lets everyone understand what the base one would look like.

and here are better looking painted ones...

I think it looks perfect, like it was meant to be there.

No, that is not a border so much as it is trying to show a 3D (depth) aspect of the badge.

Did I get that right? If so, then I will put my "order" in on the other thread.
