Grille badge

A quick question...

Do we have an M2C2 grille badge out there that can be swapped out and used on the official MINI grille badge holder? If not, then I say we get an order in with Todd and have some made up. If there IS an official m2C2 badge out there, then where can I get it? I'd pay 8 bucks for one!

This was all I came up with after searching here and over at MC2C.us. Is this still true, no badges? I'm in for a couple to distribute over here in Europe!

Cheers!!

We had some m2c2 magnets but they were all sold, I think there is a good possibility of getting some grille badges. I discussed it with the Prez tonight at meet n eat.

jlsg,
If your wife wants to take a swipe at it that would be great. I have a couple of images of our logo if she wants to use them. They're in tiff format and are rather large but we can work around that. Of course if she comes up with something new that we like .....

Chris

"Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious."

Sorry couldn't resist.

also, a couple of questions: do we want to incorporate the existing logo or is there some wiggle room to invent/reinvent? and, I assume multi-colored images are desired (more than just the two on the current logo)..?

Jose,
The initial thought was to incorprate the logo but we're always open to innovation. Multi-color is good. Uniquity (my word) is us. Generic is not what we're looking for. As we say at work: If unique is what you seek, bizarre is what we are. Let her go crazy, so to speak.
I can send the tiff by email if I make it smaller. It's currently around 40meg.

Chris

okay folks!
we have six concepts/sketches up on a blogger site:

http://m2c2grillebadgereview.blogspot.com/

you should be able to view and comment on them. now, remember, these are just concepts so the artwork is far from finished but they each illustrate a direction (some borrow from our current logo or from the NC and SC flags, others are more open ended....).

be polite--don't hate things but you do not have to love any one of them.
just offering them up for conversation!
