BadgeMaker Deluxe: Custom vehicle emblems
By James Grahame
Have you ever found yourself wishing for a custom-designed chrome automobile emblem? Me neither, but only because I didn't know it was possible. BadgeMaker Deluxe is the brainchild of Moira Parker Roe. She started the company in 2003, relying on her training as a jeweler and a background in design. Conveniently, she also has a thing for vintage vehicles.
All she needs to produce beautiful word-art is a 2-dimensional drawing, design or photo. Each Kustom badge is cut from a brass sheet, hand finished and chromed. Badges are usually mounted with 2 mm through-hole hardware, but you can use adhesive if the thought of drilling a hole in your baby causes heart palpitations. These would also be perfect for scooterists, and Moira can reproduce them in large quantities for clubs.
