Badge Help

We live in a neighborhood with 4 MINIs and possibly a Clubman on the way. We want to put together an unofficial badge/emblem that includes the colors of our cars and a neat shopping strip sign but none of us have the requisite talent to do so. Can anyone help?

Our MINIs: Sparkling Silver MCS, BRG MC, PW MCS, Hyper Blue MCS, and I hear the Clubman may be CR/B

We want to use the shape of the sign below along with the Kiestwood font to say Kiestwood Coopers. And somehow work the slashes on either side of "Village" into the MINI logo slashes.

Cool sign! If I weren't so backed up on work and other projects, I would take this on.

Maybe I can get time later this month.

Okay, I'm doing work avoidance.

Is this what you were looking for:



The colors aren't represented the way you wanted, but it started looking funky. BTW, if you want to produce this, I'll trade you the art work for a badge.

OMG!!! You are good! I'm going to show it to the others but I think it's great. We may be at the MM.org meeting tomorrow (depending on how much painting I get done) and I'll buy you a beer!

A beer would be nice. Maybe I can break my 'diet' (I hate that word. We need a better one for eating healthier) again had sneak one in. To be honest, I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay for the whole meeting today.

Let me know what the others think.

I showed the design to Mitch, who had the original idea of using that sign, and he says that is exactly what he was thinking off! We all love it!

Saying that... could you try it with a black border instead of the white?

Oh, and I didn't make it to the MM.org meeting. But there will definitely be a a badge with your name on it!

No problem with the black border. PM me your email address and I'll send you press ready files to send to your vendor of choice.

Files sent. If you change your mind and want to go with a white border, your printer should be able to make that change on the spot. Just let them know.
