I hope Dean will forgive me hijacking his thread for a second......When I designed these badges Dean and I decided to go away from the traditional (stuffy) badge and do the "modern version" of what the Fiero logo might look like today. I don't really care for the "contained in a box" look but the logo alone looked kind of bare. Dean then came up with the Ferrari-ish badge idea and I worked them together.



This is the original concept (when I drew it it looked more like a Great Dane than Pegasus)



This is the refined head shape but the feathers needed some evening out



This one added a badge shape, kind of Ferrari minus the pointed top



This is the final logo without the shield. What I had envisioned from the start, great for painted logo, not good for a badge because there in nothing to hold hold the parts together.



This is the final badge with the text repositioned for fill out the badge.

I cut them out on an Omax Water jet out of .030" stainless steel. I think they turned out pretty nice. Modern edge but homage to the heritage of the Fiero. "Proud"

And now back to the real thread....

Thanks for the kind words :-)

Actually, I already have made just such a badge but I haven't had a chance to cut any of them out yet. I sent the art to Rob (Amida) and he gave me a great idea for both a fender badge and nose emblem:



Nose badge



Fender badge

I will have a few prototypes next week

quote Originally posted by whodeanie: Nice work Will I did not realize how many times we changed the badges but I think it looks great. I can't wait to see them in person. you can hijack my thread anytime I kind of like the idea of a front grill badge we may have to come up with something later. I also got a PM from JimmyS and my new fiberglass sunroof is on it's way to me I will post pic's when I get it and the badges. also RiceBurnner got my AC controler done and will be sending it to me soon. I have a few other parts on order as well Ameda is making me a console with a twist and last but not least Erik from HT is sending me some more parts for the rear of my car. that is about it for now I need to go make more money to buy more parts D.

Dean,

How many times have you changed that back facia??? You know how it is when we are perfectionist

Do you want a nose badge that matches the fender badge you have or like the one above? I will send you one next week

P.S. Can't do it this weekend 'cause I am going to be "Power-lounging" at the lake
