What would you put in the center of the badgein place of the MINI? The MINI Logo? Or just the red/black checkerboard?

If I took the word "official" out of the title, would you want to join?

For the grill badge, the Mini wings would look cool (maybe make the silver parts red) or the checkered flag would look good.

I love having the Mini pictured on the logo for using in my signature or maybe even on a T-Shirt but I would just feel odd having a pic of a Mini displayed on my Mini (even more so or maybe less so because it doesn't even look like my Mini )

I'm glad that I'm getting some positive constructive criticism on the badge design - thanks. We will take this into consideration before the badges are made.

You are totally right, on a T-Shirt yes, good as is, and for the NAM sig, perfect as is. As a badge on your own MINI that looks different than my MINI (the badge queen...), I agree. Maybe we offer a badge version without the MINI image as well.

I'm on it.

this is what goes in the url box, right?:

It seems that you copied incomplete link. Use this instead: "http://www.thompsonsmithdesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/CROC-icon.JPG"

For the grill badge, im thinking about getting the aero grill.......does the badge still be able to hold on that new grill?

Yes, the factory MINI grille badge has fittings to fit all three different grilles that they manufacture, including the aerokit honeycomb grille like mine. The badge holder is a very, trick little unit.
