It was a photo in the chicago tribune, I know it's a group against toyota but I like skulls.

Someone needs to get this made. I would personally like to replace my rear hatch emblem with this...in BLACK.

i think chrome would be cool in that 'looks normal from far, but take a closer look....' way! if somebody made a set(front and back) of these i would buy them, but i'm sure toyota and the advertising company that came up with that would not appreciate it :(

if they copyrighted it, you'd need permission. GREAT idea though, I'd love to produce that.

couldn't you just make it a little different and you're ok to produce it?

You're awesome!!

I know I personally wouldn't want that exact logo - just because it's an anti-toyota thing, and I don't think they deserve any publicity :)

If you can alter it a bit and make it - FOR THE SEDAN ALSO (lol) - I would buy it in a heart beat. I'd want it in black, for both front and back! :)

03-23-2010, 08:12 PM
^ alter it how? Isn't it supposed to look like a skull?

I'm confused now..

JBougie
03-23-2010, 08:27 PM
^ No, I know ... I meant like alter it from theirs if they have a copy right on it .... you can't do much to a skull

Just ignore me. I'm going to go back to my box.

Alright, I'm loving this idea so I played around with the logo and here's what I got. Garm, if you can get something like this, that'd be awesome. I wonder if Toyota corp will give permission for it though :tongue:

Edit: Stand back for the full effect! It almost looks like the real logo fro far away.

that looks pretty cool. i'd want mine in black. but if they are made in chrome, i'll just paint mine. no biggie.

I don't like the teeth. but yeah, throw out some ideas.

Also think 2-dimensional so it can also be a sticker (probably start with that anyway to work out the details).

03-24-2010, 04:19 PM
Good idea with the sticker, i'll be on the list to buy one, two maybe three probably 4, who knows maybe even 5!

OK, I can fix that. What kind of teeth you looking for :biggrin: ? I made them pointy to keep with the general shape of the original symbol, but we'll see.

cali yaris
03-24-2010, 09:42 PM
sticker, anyone? :biggrin:

This is 5" to match the rear badge, I can make white, black, silver, gold and red. Could make other sizes, too.

Should I add them to the online store for you guys? I'm thinking like $3.50 each for good quality vinyl.

Very nice if you can produce it i will buy 3. 1 for the front one for the back and one for my steering wheel

cali yaris
03-24-2010, 10:04 PM
Already produced it, made that one. (it's not a Photoshop, it's a real sticker, in case there was some confusion) :smile:

I'll throw it up in the store, if anyone wants something other than 5", note it in the special instructions and I'll resize it.

I made this one with slightly roughened edges, I like the look.

Mouse
03-24-2010, 10:22 PM
Can I remove my rear emblem and put this in place of the emblem? Will it look right?

cali yaris
03-24-2010, 10:23 PM
^ that is the idea. Someone raised the point that it must cover the two holes, though, so I'm going to make sure about that.

cali yaris
03-24-2010, 10:24 PM
I could probably get "chrome" vinyl, if anyone wants a real "replacement" look.

Mouse
03-24-2010, 10:24 PM
Thank you...If it covers the 2 holes...I'm in for black.

Keep 'em in stock, I'll be getting my share next time I drop by your place!

cali yaris
03-25-2010, 01:40 AM
^ if you want to send me your file for the one with teeth, I can make it. It might be a version some people want?

cali yaris
03-25-2010, 03:52 PM
I need to send one of these for someone to test. I can't tell if it covers the holes or not.

i would put that on my car (i don't think a lot of people would notice the penis). if they ever get made into an actual emblem i will definitely be buying those too... just in case your looking for interest before producing it. (pretty subtle hint huh?)

cali yaris

Vinyl first, I can make them on the cheap. A real emblem will probably mean making like a hundred or more, and the size is fixed.

Let me know what size you want for the MR2, I'll make them.

test fitting a silver one on a black Yaris right now. :smile:

Here's how my test went with the first version.

First, here are the holes and the pins in the stock emblem (yes, they are offset :iono: ):

I m loving this idea, but not in sticker form an emblem would do justice and turn many heads at that.
