| | | Re: WAB Badge Going back to the decision on design as boddie said we have a few options which I have done examples of here (please ignore the colour and font, I couldnt be bothered to make the lettering dirty brass at this stage as these are to demonstrate case and justification only, also I have made them considerably bigger than life size for easy viewing)
Basically we can have it all in capital letters
In capital letters with a larger first intial
or in lower case with a capital first intial
The other question is whether we have it centre justified to have even space all around like this
or left justified like this , to line up the W.A.B in thevertical plane
what do people think ?

| | | Re: WAB Badge Ahh i get you ?
So you get the WAB thing in a line....and the rest of the words next to it? that could work.
I think this could look good with the WAB capitals in the line....with the
ild
about
britain
in italics?....
Cant do it on here though i just tried?... |

Green with silver is good, I would worry about green with gold being an ITFC supporter  |

| | | Re: WAB Badge I like the idea but a few thoughts occur. If the words are left aligned as suggested there needs to be a greater definition to the initial letters so that the following letters dont 'fight' the WAB.
The 'gold' effect is the smartest with the dark green. We are looking for a classy badge arent we?

But as Garden Carpet says there would need to be greater definition to the initial letters so that the following letters don’t 'fight' the WAB, how about WAB in a brass and the rest in another colour

British racing green and vintage brass should be a class combination
