some of you may have seen the ///M badges for sale on Ebay that offer the choice of ///M, ///, ///M6, ///M5, and ///M3. What you may not know (unless you purchase them) is that they're stickers that the seller had made for cheap. I wouldn't care if they were stickers if two things had been done by the seller.

1. Advertise them as blank badges with a vinyl sticker attached.

2. Take a close-up to show a good representation of the sticker and how it looks.

At any rate, when the badges showed up I was a little put-off that the colors didn't seem authentic, and that middle blue had dithering, rather than being a solid color. I'm not complaining that there is a bad seller out there and using this forum to bash him (He offered to replace them with the OEM). Instead, I want to show you what i had done by a graphic designer friend of mine, and let you be the judge of whether or not you like the look. i'm going to post two pictures. The first is of the badges that i received in the mail, and the second is my revamp.

Let me know what you think, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Lastly, lemme know if you have a desire for something similar, because my guy is eager to produce more (in sheets of forty stickers per sheet, and also he knows a plastic guy that can do the badges in clear and then do the graphic from behind for a permanent solution.

Here ya go.
