Hi All! The 2016 Forum Badge Design Poll is up and active here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/gener...poll-2016-toyota-4runner-org-forum-badge.html

There has been interest in doing a yearly T4R badge, which is always fun. I did last year's T4R design, found here, just to get the ball rolling but lets see what designs we have floating around in our heads out there. Once we have the designs, I'll post a poll. Majority vote will choose the design for this year and then I'll make 'em up. Experience tells me they'll run around $35 depending on the intricacy of the winning design.

The open call is closed and the poll is up and running.

Some guidelines for the designs:

Submissions can be a black and white sketch on a napkin, or a technicolor Photoshopped masterpiece. As long as we can get the idea of the design, submit away!

The designs should be for badges of any shape, roughly 3" in diameter and have "www.T4R.org" and 2016 somewhere in there.

Something to keep in mind while designing, Each color on these badges is essentially melted enamel filling a stamped depression in the base metal, so each discreet color has to be separated by a section of the base metal. Check out the red in last year's badges for an example. It is completely surrounded by sections of base metal,

Please submit original designs. No derivative designs or designs of others please.

And lastly, I reserve the right to call shenanigans on..well...shenanigans.

And so BIG! Why cant I make my attachments normal sized, like everyone else! I tried, but we're stuck with that giant image ..lol.

More than likely have to reduce the original size of your photo then apply it to see how it turns out!

BTW: Email sent...

Saker, the tire treads would have to be solidified for badgification, TiN, we might need to solidify the background, but we will handle those details for which ever ends up being the chosen design!
 
There's more than just 5th Gen 4Runners guys! :P

Well here's my crappy ideas (really rough, don't have anything but paint and a touchpad at the moment):

Old School Toyota "T" with 3rd gen "4R"

Old School "TEQ" Logo modified with stylized "4" & "R"

The teq riff is a little close to last year's badge (see pic). Great minds think alike though. :) I dig the incorporation of the old school T in your other design though. Were you going to include the year in that design?
