My bike came with a cracked right tank emblem and I thought about replacing it. That is, until I thought " hey, I can make an emblem!"
Im in the process of designing my own custom emblem (crossed cavalry sabers; I was in the 3rd Armored Cavalry in the army and thought it would be neat looking) and thought Id toss the idea out to see if there is any interest in custom design tank emblems.
I thought about the various nicknames folks give their bikes and thought that would be a cool place to start.
Things like "Godzilla" in a nifty font, or a salmon
, or "XSive" and so forth.
They would be epoxy resin and have some finishing options (I imagine).
I thought of 2 finishing grades:
1. Unfinished, which includes the design, casting, sanded smooth, and primed.
2. Finished, which is primed, painted and then leafed in silver or gold (maybe, if the logistics isnt too harsh).
I dont plan on making replicas of the word "Yamaha" but the emblems would likely need to be an approximate thickness and roughly same size as the regular emblems.
I dont have a business, I was just laid off last week, and I "could" start giving this serious thought if enough interest was generated.
Someone suggested I put "Hardly Dangerous" in the Harley font on mine. It helped spawn these crazy ideas.
I have yet to even make mine as its only in the concept/layout phase at the moment, so I dont know what it will cost or anything yet. Might be by size/complexity.
What say ye?
