    Gen2 revlimiter Badges - Work in Progress

    I do a lot of stuff behind the scenes and never post about it. I figure people don't really care about such things and would rather just see pretty pix of the finished products. But this one is kinda big and is taking me a long time. I thought I'd post my progress.

    I now own a shiny new vinyl printer and am revamping all of my badges, keychains, horn buttons, and all other logo items. Parts and designs are slowly coming into stock. I'll update this thread as I go and have photos of the new goods.

    As always, revlimiter Badges can be purchased here. You can also see the updated pix on that page.


    Version Elanore: The colorful center areas are now foil. It's still Mazda Blue and a darker LE red, but the material is now shiny. The badges pop a lot more and look far more professional.

    It's hard to show the foil effect with a still pic. I'm gonna have a lot of gifs in here I think.



    Prototipo 1: Very similar to the previous versions. The blue badge is NOT foil, but has a traditional enamel-like finish with a slightly better color match to the vintage Mazda blue color. The red badge uses the same dark red foil as the Elanore badge. Black and yellow are unchanged.

    More in a bit.

    Looks awesome Adam. Hoping to have the custom center caps for the Rodders done soon so I can get some of these for them.

    They'd fit any wheel! But you're asking a different question than I'm answering.

    I am NOT making plastic wheel center caps that actually go inside the wheel center. I am making INSERTS for an existing set of caps that you've sourced separately. The cap would need a flat recessed area for my insert to live inside.

    Prototipo2 Gen 2: This one has the other historically accurate M symbol. When a circle was present with the M, they used a thicker stroke on the M. Mine reflects that. Same colors available as with Pro1 above.



    Type V Gen 2: The factory Eunos Flying V nose badge in both the standard dark blue and limited edition black. The V is in gold and chrome foil just as the original. This one is a huge improvement over my Gen1 design.



    Model 36 Gen 2: Virtually no changes from the original Gen1 design aside from pearl white instead of flat.



    Model 60 Gen 2: Designed by R2Limited. Gen 2 has either deep black or foil blue under a pearl white with a chrome foil 1960s Mazda logo. Another huge improvement in quality over the original.

    Hmmm...Model 60 in black, with gold foil instead of chrome/white maybe? That would be so sweet!

    Adam do you have any plans for making a front emblem that I can replace this factory one on my NC3?

    I could make that happen. Wouldn't be too hard!

    I have PLANS for it... but... man. It's a huge emblem. I've got one on the shelf. It's enormous. And the recessed area basically limits me to the oval shape of the NC badge.

    I probably shouldn't let the cat out of the bag, but NB2-sized emblems at 85mm are next. After that I'll likely do an NC1 badge since, while huge, they're not too enormous. I'll see how those sell before considering the NC3 dinner plate.

    No offense meant... but holy crap is the NC3 badge enormous. Epoxy cost alone will make that a very expensive piece.

    will the original Gen1 badges still be available or are the Gen2 badges going to supercede the Gen1's?

    Hmm...a custom nose & tail badge would be AWESOME for the wife's new Mazda 3!! Let's do this!
