Subject: Logo up my Kombi ...... Tue Nov 23, 2010 3:29 pm
Ok I admit it - I'm a perfectionist - I am a fan of things being just right. I'm sure there's at least a few of you who share my trait. It has many plus sides and some negative ones - you'll know what I mean if you've lost sleep over a scratch on your BraziBay's paintwork.
So, with this perfectionistic attitude I have, I've been umming and erring about whether I wanted to logo up my Kombi. I'd seen the badges and thought mmm that may look good, it may look crap. There was only one way to find out.... I deliberated over where to place a badge - above the side repeaters - along the line of the cab door - and just ended up where a badge really should go on a Volkswagen:
Still not sure .... it's growing on me. There's always the dental floss in the bathroom cabinet ready to remove it if I feel the need.
Want one? I got this one from Mega-Bug for a fiver. Heritage sell them too.

Looks ok to me. You could always use a photo editor to move it around and try other place's. If its going to be on the back there are only 3 places really, where it is, similar place on the engine door, or above the vw sign.

HI Tim
Not sure if you have ever seen this site before Kombi Nation it is belgium site but has some really good photo albums going back to the 60th bulli treffen in Hanover 07 ( i was there and it was great) anyway their logo is below I have played with the idea of changing the bas relief split to a bay and having die cut

BB, nice idea but the splitty looks very angry and the bay looks glum to me, need to turn the corners of the bumpers up slightly
