Trollhattan Saab has changed!

Ivan’s still working hard on the custom badges I mentioned on the site yesterday.
The latest piece of handiwork is a griffin prototype, though he and I both agree that the tongue needs to be metallised rather than black as it’ll get lost on a darker colored car.
Remember, if you’ve got any ideas for customised badges, and the sky really is the limit here, then email Ivan at saabdesignshop@gmail.com to discuss your design.
Badges of this size (see the elk below with hand for reference) will most likely work out to be only around 5 or 6 Euro each plus shipping, which is quite inexpensive.

How about something representative of the Turbo? I don’t know exactly how you’d get the image across with monochromatic metal, but I’m not the artist!

How about making the griffin a metallic outline without any fill? So the fill would be the actual colour of the car.

LOVE the griffin – all silver, or, like Kroum said, silver outline.
Somehow incorporate the stylized word ‘Turbo’ and I’d buy it, for sure.

Thanks for the ideas, I would try it for the next week.
Actually, the outline only version is risky, because it will be too thin to fix it, and I worry that you can loose it.
