Re: WAB Badge

So horse brasses? anything brass is class is it?....ho ho ho.. maybe brass was classy in delboy only fools days.

I still vote for silver but if it has to be dirty brass so be it.

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?...

Re: WAB Badge

I don't like all capitals, we don't need to shout
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?

Re: WAB Badge

but GOLD and CLASS should never ever appear in the same line? the same biome even?

I'm with nightshade,

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

Dan - you will find that andrew (boddie) and I agree with you about the tackyness of gold - Chav like bling was so last year - However we arent talking about gold - we are talking about vintage brass , there is a big difference but one which is very hard to illustrate without an actual item to photograph.

British racing green and vintage brass should be a class combination
