Badgeless or rx7 badge
1 Attachment(s)
hey guys
was thinking of taking off the badges on the front and on the trunk im not sure whether or not i want to keep it like that or put on the old rx7 badges what do you guys think |
cheesy imo, if I had a 7 I would resent you
i thought about efini badges and decided that I did not want to be a wannabe 7 :dunno: |
well the rx8 is shitty for that
rx7 gets a cool badge and we get 2 oversized m's with a circle around it |
rofl i agree
but some 7 guys are dicks so :dunno: |
unless there is someone creative on these forums that would create a design for us so then we can be all proud to have a fancy badge
|
how about the number 8 with like a bird of prey flying away shooting a machine gun with one hand and some hawt chick in the other
yes the bird will have arms/hands |
Its mostly the FD guys that are dicks because they have the BEST CAR EVAR... Their car came with a Turbo and has more HP so that makes them better...

yes the bird will have arms/hands that would be funny id like to see that haha get a vinyl done haha maybe a rotor with an 8 threw it make it look pretty cool something along those lines if the 8 is going out of production the people who own one now should put a nice badge imo |
Maybe if we get enough interest and a design we can get someone to produce it.
|
id be down i know crazy computer guys who do like amazing graphic designing could come up with something or i know theres a member on here RXeckless has some pretty nice skill he made some impressive rx8club stickers
|
Yeah just need to start asking around... It should also cover the holes left behind by the flying Ms
|
The Efini label has nothing to do with the RX-8...

so we need to publicise this thread or make another ass or tits thread with a hidden rx8 badge creation idea |
Badgeless. Rx7 badges on there would be pretty stupid IMO.
|
it would be unique,,,but unique isnt always good..lol
|
well it can be like a color match thing like ti gray has like a ti gray backing or a black backing idk
it would be cool to get something going |
badgeless.
RX-7 badge on an RX-8 = FAIL. |

+1 to all the +1's

Agreed... to whats going on... lol
|
so just keep it badgeless what about just the rx-8 sign then , or take it all off
|
I'm badgeless in the front. Stock badges on rear. I think the rear needs something so didnt want to remove the rear badges.
|
what do you mean need something
|
"Bah-jez? We don't need no steeekin' Bah-jez." ;)
I too like a badgeless front, but to retain the RX-8 identity on the rear. |
so i bought the effini badge a while back, as i was planning to debadge the rear and put the effini badge in the middle. But i havent done it yet as i am still up in the air, i feel that the rear will look better with the badge back there, but dont wanna look like a 7 wannabee.
i agree with the idea that we dont want to copy the 7s but if im not mistaken there are some members that have it on there trunks and they look pretty clean. and id be interested in a custom rx8 emblem. i've seen some pretty cool designs by other members on here that would look sweet. |

If you think the logo is too big, put the 2002 "Flying M" logs.. thats what I have on my car. And |

that looks pretty sweet and it can be color coded but whats 5br
maybe put se3p in the center perhaps? |
^ it was for "5 borough rotary". A design he came up with for the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, manhattan, Staten Island.
|
I designed one awhile back and put a few threads up on it.. It came out ok. Eventually I went with efini badges. To each his own. I look at it as a tribute to rx7s, and the wankel engine in general. It's not like switching badges on a Honda in my opinion... The rotary engine is unique as a whole and has only been used in a VERY limited run on cars, so why not have an emblem that incorperates the rotary shape, and traces back to a special line of enfini rotary cars from the past. Truth is, 99% of the people who see it have no idea what it means, and will see it as a rotary emblem. I've had mine for a year or so now, and I've had three 7 owners say they love it on there and nobody ever bust my balls about it
just know what efini stands for and have a good story why you put in on there..:) |
oh thats pretty crafty
what do you think of the se3p idea? |

so if people are not feeling the efini badge then would this be an option
i still think a custom rx8 design would look good or even the 5BR i believe it was but switch it to se3p? |
sinned those arent the exact one that i was looking at but the emblem i was referring to was gh8st linked:
https://www.rx8club.com/album.php?al...ictureid=11281 im not sure how it would look as an emblem but i think its a pretty cool design, of course we would have to get gh8st to approve! lol |
so would anyone be willing to get together and start creating a custom badge and perhaps , spreading the word id be down to spend the money to get it going if people are serious
|
I think that the efini badge is extremely nice and would love to put it on my 8. Never knew what it meant but now that I see the history and what all it is linked to I see no shame in switching badges. Anyone selling one??

PM ChrisM (https://www.rx8club.com/members/chrism-15754/) I remember him having one for sale...

word id be down to spend the money to get it going if people are serious Here's one I had designed for about 60 bucks... I tried this idea for a few months, and believe me it's expensive.. Which doesn't match the interest for new emblems around here. For a good emblem you need a shop to custom Cnc machine them, so be prepared to spend 100 dollars or more each for one to be laid out then cut with a machine. You might have better luck, but after trying several companies and getting outragous quotes I gave up. This was the cheapest version from aluminum material for around 60 each. |

I don't see the connection.. Civic with an Acura badge? Efini was a offshoot of Mazda, starting with the 1991 rx-7. If you mention efini and someone knows what it is, they automatically refer to the upgraded version (special edition) of early 7's.. Produced with spoilers, effects, turbo, etc in the Japanese market. "Although Efini was used to describe the third generation RX-7 in its entirety, I use it to describe the "after-American" production of the RX-7.* Once production stopped in the USA the car was made only in its hometown of Japan.* The car was right hand drive as are most cars in Japan.* It had a performance and styling upgrade known as 99 Spec to the Americans." granted, the efini badge went on a few other models in the European market down the road, most are unheard of cars. Everyone uses that excuse, I don't get it though. Efini began basically with rotary equipped, special edition rx-7's... In the Japanese market.... Hense the rotary shaped emblem. Maybe it's a stretch a little, but definitely not like a 370z with an Infiniti badge.. More like a 370z with a 350z badge giving tribute to it's baby brother in a sense. ? Something like that if u get what I mean... |

Yea it's just getting it 3d that's a killer... Flat emblems like my old one above just don't look right. Maybe if you can make a mold then pour in plastic.. That would probably be doable with some knowledge or with a good company

Nice
