I thought Gary wanted an oval with letter? I think it looks like a fabric covered wing from a biplane!

...and what's wrong with that..?

Personally I thought it look like a moths wing (not a Tiger Moth!)....

Some more, due to no feedback not sure whether to continue?

The 3 parts of the circle represent the headlights like what DaveCymru has or it could a steering wheel...

I actually quite like this one. Simple and to the point...

Is that why there was a reply...

Erm, quite possibly. No offence Gary, but does the Sammio brand really need a badge? My view is that we should either keep people guessing as to just what it is, or, if you're like me, lie through your teeth and put Lancia badges all over it.

All brands need identity.

just being picky, i like the last iteration but shouldnt the letter S be in the font that the website uses to keep the branding theme going? Rocket something isnt it?

Lies promulgated by Saatchi and Scraatchi, advertising agents.

Did Coca Cola need brand imagery to sell us billions of gallons of tooth rotting acidic fizzy drinks?

Do McDonalds need a memorable logo to sell us artery and colon clogging minced lips and A hole burgers?

Oh, I take your point...

Just Found it, its called "Rocket Script"

While the brand owner must inevitably decide the final badge design, it is a matter of personal choice as to whether a badge is attached.

I guess the brief should say use Rocket script then,

but as there wasn't one and I am sure I have seen a van with a typeface from a cartoon as well. Anyway it was just an idea, like T said do what you like.

I agree with Towed. However I feel a 'Sammio Owners and Builders Club Badge' would be good.-----Lol-------- However we're not a club but just a group of people with different levels of creative ability, facilities and budgets using the same fibreglass shell that enables us to create our own version of motoring heaven. In my opinion I think we badge as we think befits our own vehicle.

Other bodyshells and badged anoraks available!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started ranting in my head before i got to the LOL

Bearing in mind that we're all quite keen to be "not a club" here's an interesting spin for this thread. How about we have 'not a badge' ?

Let me elaborate (before you all think i've been at the scrumpy too much again) i quite like some of the badges shown and not some of the others, so can't we come up with a badge in the essence of what big GaryJ started with these kits? i.e. something 'core' but something we can adapt to our personal tastes?

For example, taking something like the round "S" badge GaryH shows below, but having a neutral coloured and non-background one that we can all colour/mount/adapt/chop-n-bond however we want?

Just an idea.

I can't really agree with that statement. Not because I'm building a Spyder, but because I've never seen a finished G46. Then again, nobody has...

The 1958 Rocker · #37 26th June 2012, 20:12

Mmmm Mr. T,
I think there may well be a few "finished" G46's about, but finished may be the operative word. Ha, ha.

Why don't we just all get ourselves a marker pen and apply our own?.....................Ok, OK, only joking. Think I have to agree, the badge decision is as individual as the cars we are all building/have built. Therefore the decision to badge or not is ultimately down to personal taste, after all there is the "can you guess what it is yet?" Spyder with large lettering over the rear arch, so the choice is down to the individual.

Hi all, if you all don't mind, i was going to have a go at making a couple of these as samples. I will post a picture when complete.

AndyP57 · #39 5th September 2012, 21:10

I was going to wait until they had been produced but I've settled on a corporate badge. I've started using it on ad banners at Donington and will post a picture when our overalls are completed within a week ;-)

OK, are you making the badge yourself?
