E-Series 5L V8 Badge Re-design

[Smithy1987]

Hi all,

So I was sick of the crappy faded/scratched badges on my NL and decided to use some downtime at work to jazz them up a little. I scanned a spare badge into the computer then started playing around with the design. (sorry for the image quality, took a photo of the screen)



The badge is identical in size for the wording and design, only the black contour is different. I measured everything with calipers to make sure, then went ahead with changing the colours and style. Sorry for taking the liberty of making it GT-351 colours but I couldn't resist! The "custom" was traced from an image of some Ford custom badges, not sure of the year or what model they are off, I just liked the design.

And here is the finished product:



Once again, sorry for the poor quality of the picture and the dirtiness of the car, I was in a bit of a rush! Anyway, for me this has achieved two things: Firstly, I now have a unique set of custom decals and secondly I no longer have to worry about dirt build-up around and in between the badge.

Cheers,

Smithy
