It's cool! All the ES's should have it instead of the stock vinyl decal!

Alright, people have requested the emblems in reb, blue, etc. so I've made a few variations of the emblem. They are all available to view here.
The set on the right ("motion trail") looks really good. It looks like a glow from the color is illuminating the "mazda" pattern.

Of course, I have an LX, and I don't think the badge would look as nice if it just said "LX" on it. It would look downright silly if it said "LX 1.8"! Hmmm, since it is one of the "Touring Editions" it could say "LX-TE", but that is just getting confusing.

I suppose it could say "MPS", that makes as much sense as "MP5". Heh, maybe "MP4"? Or "MPTE"? Now it sound like an additive, or maybe "empty".

Ok, I'm done now.

damaster, is this like you need a buch to get them made, or could you get just two or three of one design?

do you think it'd look good if it said " LX 2.0 "

also, how much do you guys estimate one of these will be?

Protege LX Emblems Created

Alright, I've added LX 2.0 and LX Touring Edition emblems. Toru and BL_Protege, let me know what you think of 'em. Here's the link again: http://www.ece.concordia.ca/~m_maste...e/emblems.html

As for cost of getting these made, I still do not know: when I find out, I'll let you all know. Just so I have an idea: how many people initially want these (please specify color, text, with or without motion trail, etc.)?

derrick, I'm hoping to get a bunch made at a time if there's enough demand. I still have to talk to the graphics production store. Can you post a bigger image of what you want (the image in your signature is too small).

When are you guys ordering, because I need to know when to get the money. I would order two. On mine it would need to say 1.5 DX. I know it is underpowered, and not that fast, but it all I can get, and I am working on the power parts.

they look nice, thing is about how much do you think these will cost?

also, is it made of like the same material as the real MP3 emblem is?

thanks for reviving this old thread guys! unfortunately, I never found a company to produce these emblems. I looked around the city of Montreal without any luck. The dome tag producers that produced Mitch's MP5 emblems charge a hefty initial amount per design, and given that everyone here was showing interest in different designs it would be a huge loss for me to have all of them made.

If anybody else wants to help with the search for an affordable manufacturer, go right ahead and let me know if/when you find one - at which point I would have to provide the manufacturer with a high-quality print version of the emblems.

How much was the set fee and cost per emblem from the place that did the P5 emblem? Maybee some of us wouldn't mind incurring some of the setup costs? I know I wouldn't!
