New nose emblems - ready to make, need a final design (Page 1/4)
trivet OCT 26, 07:47 AM
Hi all,

I have been looking for a new front emblem for my Fiero, something a bit more modern. I have had some prototypes made for myself to test quality and fit, and I'm happy with the results.

This is image I used for the prototype:


What I don't have is a final design. There are several I like, but I have been unable to get a hold of the creators to get permission to produce their design. And I won't without permission.

Such as ones from this thread Thoughts on this Fiero Performance Racing Emblem




I have been unable to reach 'My Username Is' for permission to use any of these. (I really like some of them)
I did use one of the designs to make a prototype for my own use (he gives permission in the thread to do so).

I have ZERO art/photoshop/imagination/skill - so....looking for some design suggestions to make a limited run of new emblems. Not looking to reproduce the original, as these are already available. I'm not using Cliffs logo, that is his (he is working on his own, I got his ok to make a different design)

These will be the emblem insert only - the original bezel will still be needed.

Gauging interest - not taking ANY money. If enough people are interested, and once I have a design, I'll have a small run made and go from there.

Tim

I don't see an image of what yours would be ( but sometimes my puter doesn't show pics), or which of the ones in the other thread is it like?

I was able to cut and paste some samples in my original post - These are what I had in mind. Or something similar.

Willing to look at anything though, if there is enough interest, and a general consensus on design, I can get these done in a week or 2. The first batch wasn't as thick as I would have liked, will have better results on the final run.

They are very cool.

Here is the first one made - not the final design, just a prototype - still need help with the final design.


Comparison

The wide/angled red/white/blue looks to much like a buick badge..
Now for those with a 3800s/c swap it might be just the ticket,, a hint, without any badges telling of the swap..

I do like the yellow horse and black background..

The yellow background I like but it also looks like another make , pshing that wannabe mindset many outside the Fiero club have of the car..

The horses mouth doesn't look natural.. somethings off..

I think a nose badge in the shape of the Pontiac arrow with the black background, and yellow horse would be killer.. sure it be larger than stock.. but allow you to loose the upper banner of red/white/blue..
That is more a buick badge trademark or Camaro than Pontiac..

Or the black background, yellow horse with the word Pontiac above where the red/white/blue is.. but g.m. might come knocking..
could always put g.m.80 there...

Agreed - that's why it's only the prototype, not the final design. I wanted something different just to see what it looked like, but I agree, it's too much like a Ferrari emblem. (Might be cool for a MERA though )

I like it a lot, please change back ground to red with black horse so I can see if I like it even more.
