New Emblem Design- *UPDATED!!*

Hey so I found some outdated threads on here about club badges/emblems, and custom ones to get rid of the flying M. I pieced together a design I want for the front and back of my ride, and actually have a manufacturer that will produce them for a fairly low cost...so no more talking about it. 30-40 each im guess, still waiting for the price back. Just wanted to see who would be interested, and im open to design suggestions.. this is just a rough drawing for them to re-do but you have the idea. They can do them in chrome, and colors

Make sure you make them big enough to cover those damn holes Mazda insists on putting on the bumpers.

Looks very promising.

pretty much a copy of it...i think thats the japanese one that goes for like 250 in silver and gold right? Im thinking the size of the mazda flying M emblem would be best..it should cover the holes too.

What are peoples thoughts, jagged circle in the middle like the rotary, or smooth circle? I need to decide before the end of the week

I'm interested so long as it no smaller than the stock "M" and it covers the existing holes.

Black or chrome........And a decent price.

Will they be sold individually or as a set for front and back?

Jagged for sure. It's a lot more interesting.

How about turning the rotor a little bit to make it seems like it's spinning?

if i turn the rotor the points wont touch the side of the oval... i tried copying the flying M oval the best I could so it looked smooth and covered the holes. As far as sets go, ill get back to everyone with prices. It looks right now like it will be about 30 each, maybe 55 for a set shipped. Pretty much the price Im getting them for, im not looking for a profit i just got into this to replace my emblems that i shaved

Interested. Still. lol.


Couple points:
Make sure they cover the existing holes. If I could afford to refinish the trunk lid I would have no emblems.

The front emblem has a curved conotour to it to sit flush on the nose. So the specs for the front have to be slightly different - which will probably bumb up costs.

If it's being made out of metal, can't you just bend it slightly using a baseball bat or something. Seems pretty simple to do. No need to have it done and spend a whole lot more money.

I'm not interested in paying ~$60 for a set of emblems so I can take a bat to them.

im working on the price the best i can with them, the main purpose of this isdea was to get custom ones for myself so I obviously want to pay as little as possible as well..I should hear back after thanksgiving. People do spend 50-60 on sets of efini emblems all the time so.
