I don't understand where you are coming from Rally. We have a nice group at the Mid-Ohio Motoring club & there's an active one in Cinci & Dayton. Then there's the newly formed LAME club & last but certainly not least MINI NEO.

LOL on your entry and it is accepted...how many colors is that so we know which category in which to put it?
Never mind...I see you're in category 1. Anyone want to do a mock-up for him that fits in a 3" circle....rules, folks...the darn rules.

OK, I think I fixed it.
The circle with the graphic is 3-inches. The total square is a hair bigger, allowing for some cropping. But I'm in the ballpark.

Yes. But must be created in 300 dpi. Just make sure you're not taking low res images and then boosting them to 300 dpi. It will make a large difference in the printing.

Yes, black is a color. Imagine your canvas is white (or metallic silver). Anything but your background is a color.

So then white (or metalic silver) dosn't count as a color?

That's correct. This badge would be 5 colors:
Green
Red
Yellow
Black
Grey.

So is 3 inches the full size of a grill badge? I've never seen one up close. Want to make sure everything looks right when complete.

Guess that was a LAME thing to do.
I have a whole roll of badge tape & a new Sharpie.
