Final design on second page of post

'm considering finding a place that can make these, provided there's a demand.
I was thinking of making it out of ABS and then just vacuum metalizing them or leaving it black to be painted, whatever. Anyone interested?

Nice! Make the middle rotor filled in and then it will look much better.

I really like the design. Just one idea:

How about varying the thickness of the lines? Thicker circle. And make the inside lines taper as it meets to make the rotary shape.

Kudos.

Angry Bunny

Yes I had considered filling in the center, something like these maybe, and yes to anyone who comments I am aware it says rx7 and that badge was a special edition RX7 only etc.etc.
Regarding the varying widths I will experiment with that. Please remember this thing is intended to be chrome and will stand out plenty.

y r u an angry bunny?

Angry Bunny

Angry bunny refers to a titanium rx8 with a white license plate. The car when it first came out was compared to a pissed off Bugs Bunny (see my avatar, the white license plate being bugs front teeth.) You might also find reference to an angry guppy. However since mine is titanium I went with bunny. Any more questions?

^have you pressed charges against this guy yet?

Angry Bunny

For what? Stupidity with a deadly weapon? The bunny always won pal.

(Don't put a link to the family guy episode, don't do it. Don't be that guy.)

Did you see the badge proposition would you like to maybe comment on that?

Ive got an old school rotary emblem on my back window, then again its just a sticker... some wierdo thought it had something to do with drugs.

But yeah looks just this but with the a rotor shape surrounding it. and also its red.

The lines need to have more depth, taper, make it less two dimensional.....but even then I'd think it is sorta hokey......I mean the Mazda symbol is fine, it is as good or better than the emblems of Toyota, Lexus etc, and 1,000 times better than the emblems of Ford, Honda, Chevy, etc.

Angry Bunny

The 2d render does not do it justice, I am going to make it taller though it's currently 1/8" and I'm changing it to 3/16."

Hokey? Didn't see that one coming.

The example on the red 8 in the first pic, is perfect. Nice design. Way better than the current "flying M"

No offense intended.

Personally, I think it is a great design..............I just think it needs more depth added to it to make it more 3-D.

It is just something I would not want on my 8, too hokey for me, but if I saw it on someone elses car (with more depth), I would think it was rather cool. I know that is sort of a contradiction.

Like I said I think the Mazda symbol is okay as it is...........but if the Mazda emblem was horrible, I would be all over this.

However to do the depth I am thinking it would probably make the design more complicated and thus more expensive.

To be named later

Changing to 3/16 will help with the depth.

Is the top surface going to be flat? Or will it be finished with a /\ pitch to it like the current emplem?

try making the rotor more promenant in the design it gets lost being so small.... heres a quick 5min solidworks example of all the suggestions Ive read in this thread....

if the tapering of the outside lines was more dramatic and the sides of the rotor were curved a little more accurately, i think it would be completely done.

yeah probably wouldve gone in a more dramatic direction, again that was a five min quicky, I m actually working on one that harkens back to the mazda emblem 10yrs ago or so,,,,, stay tuned for that, but Ive already done too much thread jacking here,,, apologies AngryBunny

Falken

I would buy that tonight.
