Our very own badges

I did a very unscientific poll that favored a Lotus colored badge but due to trademark infringement that didn't fly. What was produced I think came out super. I should have one shortly and will report quality.

Silver plated!!!!! by eck thats posh. Looks like most of the silver is covered with the resin as well.

Very impressive, well done. Shame i dont have a locost!

How does it fix , studs? ,self adhesive?


locostv8 - 6/7/06 at 06:19 PM

I like 'em both but I think he'd sell more with a buy it now or even better a "Locostbuilders" post and price.

I never win those auctions..........

Didn't happen to use my design for that, did you?



I came up with this back in the early days of the original locost egroups/yahoogroups mailing list... probably around late 2000-ish. No problem if you are; just interested.


locostv8 - 7/7/06 at 11:46 PM

Sure did. I tried to contact you before use, the site had a release but really wanted to contact first. Found it on this page http://www.target-earth.net/locost/locost.htm emailed but didn't get an answer. Thanks from all for the design I believe you will see it spread. This was posted but due to trade problems, Lotus wouldn't have thought it too funny, #1 couldn't have been used.

I'm not the vendor I just thought it would be nice to have an appropriate badge and convinced the vendor.

I will contact him and ask for a price to post both on locostbuilders and locostusa I don't want to be labeled just yet as a vendor.

Great to see it being used!

May have to get myself a couple once the car is finished! Nice work!


dnmalc - 11/7/06 at 10:11 PM

I certainly would be interested in both so if you can get a buy it now price all the better
