Hello Tony,

No update on when the badges will be available. Teresa @Teresa might be along shortly to provide an estimate.

The stickers and the badges (once in stock) will be available in the Clubs shop:


Kind regards,

Tom
 
BTW, my father used to have a metal haberdashery because he was in the business of making badges...While this was still popular, as the demand for badges has declined greatly in late 90's.
In any case, I still know people in this business. If you want I can make inquiry.
The good thing about it all is that each type of badge (Audi, VW, Skoda, whatever) requires a cast iron negative (dont know the word in EN) which is then used to print the badge. Once this piece is made, each additional order or further production of A2OC badges is much faster and easier.
Of course, then there is the delivery, which also includes import duties, etc, but can be done
...or just another reason to finally come and visit you on the island at one of your rallies.
My wife wants to go to Brittany in the spring, so these possibilities are very real....

Does anybody have dimensions of this badge. If possible in metric. Just doing inquiry at the workshop. Cheers, A

Morning A,

Thanks for enquiring at the workshop. I’m sure you’ve seen the current design, but if not its below:

As for dimensions, in short L 61mm x H17mm x D 3mm. Pictorially to confirm my findings:

Thickness 3mm:

Hope this helps out. There are a few members working on this in the background for a solution which can only be a good thing as it seems there is quite a demand for these.

Kind regards,

Tom

Great Tom. Will keep you all posted. Andrej
 
Still working on it. Sorry no news jet.
Evening Andrei,

I’m also investigating this and very close to a solution with a potential supplier so seems that we are attacking the lack of stock in the Clubs shop from multiple angles, which can only be a good thing as these have been in demand for far too long.

Please do keep us informed.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
OK, very happy to report, that i finally got in touch with workshop, Spoke with the boss, and he apologies for delay, us he is fully busy in this days before Christmas and NewYear. However, he said to prepare quotation in next two weeks.
When speaking about technicalities of the badge, he suggested not to print the badge (due to the two thicknesses) but to cast it in a mold. Material aluminum. It will be corrosion resistant, lightweight and easy to cast. At the same time, our car is also made of aluminum, so an aluminum badge would be very appropriate. Let me know what you think.
Now about the quantity. It would be desirable to know at least the approximate number of badges we need. Let me repeat that once the tool/mould is made, it is possible to order badges later, even in smaller quantities (100 - 200 pieces).
For now, I said to make an offer for the quantity of 500 and 1000 pieces.
I would need three badges (maybe four), I don't know how many others need. Two for the door, one at the back and one at the front (where the inspection hatch is). Of course, the quantity also affects the final production price, so I told him to make an offer for two quantities (500 and 1000), so we can see the difference. So, let's try to determine the number of badges we need by the end of the year.

In addition, someone let me know, what font is used for the letters in A2oc logo.
Cheers, Andrej

p.s. I've always wanted to put S-line badges on my car, because they kind of spice up the look of the car. However, my car is not s-line, and I thought it was inappropriate. When I saw the A2oc badge (which looks a lot like the s-line) I immediately wanted it.

Re font, there was new graphic made for the recent A2OC mats, I'm sure Tom @2work will respond with details.

Evening Andrej,

Great work in the background on this project. The font used on the recent Bespoke Mats Group Order was Microsoft Sans Serif, not entirely spot on but certainly suitable for the embroidered logo on said mats.

Here’s a few images that may help out for your design:

The above images are in use with another supplier who has already provided a quote which is being discussed behind the scene. More quotes the better though.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
Morning,
I do have news and you’ll be glad to read that it’s all good…

After a few years of these splendid badges being out of stock I can confirm that an order was submitted over the festive period and there are some 200 badges being dispatched later this month. I expect March will see these badges available for purchase to affix to our Aluminium Friends.

Thanks really must go to Colin @V666col for this, who approached a supplier who then subsequently informed me that he had found a solution to replenish the Clubs Shop stocks. After a quick discussion with this new supplier all available images of the current design were transmitted to them to ensure the next batch as identical to the previous offering.

I’m quite sure that Amin Team, specifically Ian @Proghound will make an announcement once they have arrived, no real need to start a list of any kind as there should be plenty to go around along with relations already built with the supplier for a second order once stocks return to a low.

Whilst we wait for their arrival, please do have a look at the other items that are still available in tbe Shop:


Kind regards,

Tom

Morning all,

A picture to wet your appetite for the coming weeks:

This is of course an original A2OC badge, the new identical batch of badges are in the final stages of production and should be delivered to the Clubs shop within the next weeks or so.

Keep watching this thread for an announcement from Ian @Proghound.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
Ladies and gentlemen, the A2OC Shop is very pleased to be able to announce the return of the A2OC-line badge!

The new supply of 200 badges has been received and taken into stock today, so feel free to order yours in the Shop as soon as you like :)

Please note there is a slight difference with the new batch, in that they are a bright rather than a satin finish. This has allowed us to keep the costs down with the new supplier, so that even with the initial tooling fees we can still sell them for the same price as previously - £11 each plus P&P.
