vest pin

i am toying with the idea of designing a vest pin for this site but need some advise from you people.
i am thinking it should be round (about 1"-25mm).
and i am wondering about copyright as far as using the tuning forks on it without upsetting the biro pilots at yamaha.
any other suggestions would help ie. different shape , bigger, colors.

 

Here are a few Ideas




Sry that they are so B I G

 

I like the 2nd one.....

 

My 2 cents I would rather a patch

 

I'd like a patch instead of a pin. I like the first idea without so much color. Maybe one or two colors would look better. Just an idea.

 

Man, I hope the Yamaha tuning fork logo isn't copyrighted! I have it tattooed on my left calf!! 8O

 

Skippy,
How did you keep the calf standing still that long to be able to give it a tatoo? And will it want it removed when it grows up to be a cow? These and other questions come to me everyday, and I WANT SOME ANSWERS!!!

 

Lol to P.D.... I'm one for the patch and I personally like the last idea.

 

Painter, you are a funny man, but don't quit your day job! LOL

 

Thank you, thank you very much, please...no applause. So....I was at the bar the other day and I met two girls that were very attractive..then one thing lead to another and we ended up......Oh, I'm sorry, wrong forum!

 

Oh, brother, here we go...

 

+1 on the last one. The colors look really nice without being in your face

 

the wings remind me too much of honda

 

i think i just realized where the inspiration for the xj bikes logo came from....

 

I actually kinda like the 3rd one the best. I think there may be copyright issues with something having that tuning fork logo on it. I would do a black circle instead of blue and the burgundy section in blue. Just a thought.

 

thanks guys for your replies.
prideroc, great ideas for patches but maybe a bit to much for the simple vest pin, but keep them coming please.

painterd, i'll have what ever you're having.

lopezfr2, i'm with you about the wings, reminds me to much of (cough) honda as well.

all other comments have been noted, but more ideas please.

 

Not sure I like the tuning fork logo being so prominent, seeing as that's Yamaha's. Maybe it's time we come up with an XJ Bikes logo and use that on the pin/patch.

Btw, +1 on the patch.

Oh and patches would be quite cheap to make, 100 patches for $129 shipped. I'd gladly pay $2 or a bit more per patch to make up the cost, support the person who made it the design and most importantly XJ Bikes.

Just one example of what can be made: http://www.custompatches.net/gallery.html

 

Yeah, I'd leave the Yamaha logo out of it and just stick with the XJBikes logo. I'd do either a pin or a patch, or maybe even both. How about a helmet decal?

 

I have noticed the little symbol on my tabs for xjbikes anyone know what that is because I kinda like that one
