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.

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.

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.
