The complete TNF badge thread
#1
Posted 29 May 2003 - 17:11
I am off on holiday in about 8 hours but when I get back, if I find any take up on this thread, I will look into the situation regarding the production of same. I know that school used to have a machine for making badges and if I can gain access to it I am quite prepared to make any number of them.
I envisage a simple image of a car (say, a 250F) with the letters TNF over it. Nothing flash or ostentatious.... I am sure I could knock them out for no real cost and would require just a self-addressed stamped envelope to send them off.
Anyone interested?

I assume that many of us have some old cars that we drive every now and then, what about a proper car badge? I don't want to make this real complicated but just tossing the idea out there.
Cheers,
Ron

Of course I'd want a Lotus on it

Though I'd be in the lurker category rather than 'knowlegable' poster one

I really fancy the idea of a rear view of a car or two cars... symbolism and all... maybe Brockbank style?
bira, can we wear these on the Tee-shirts we get with our webspace and e.mail accounts?

Put my vote down for a 250F!

Maybe with a Ferrari Dino 246 beside it?

Can we have a secret handshake too?

However, a visual means of recognising each other at an event such as the Goodwood FOS seems to make sense

Good idea
The TNF lodge? Who will be the Grand Master? Don?

Daft question...does Barry actually HAVE a slot car racing version of the Connew?
Whatever....I agree that the Connew should be the car on the badge.

OK. So I am in a minority of one here......but why do we need a badge? Why not a secret handshake and an initiation ceremony too?

Isn't it just another form of exhibitionism, rather like those people who feel compelled to wear clothes with the maker's name splattered all over them. I'll remain Mr Low Profile!
Like David, I agree with you on "designer" garb - there was a nice cartoon in Private Eye a few months back showing lots of people wearing shirts saying "FCUKWIT" on them
But a small badge is hardly exhibitionist and I know there's at least one Luddite around these parts who doesn't even use a mobile phone - how is he or she supposed to be recognised by other TNFers (assuming he or she wants to be)?
And sometimes something near designer gear can be reasonably stylish and understated - this Racing History Group shirt wouldn't really be appropriate garb for the Revival Meeting, but quite acceptable for the Festival, I think.

And now you know another one. Neither do I. Pesky things.

could a poll be started as to design and possible range?

Agreed, as it happens - I look on mine as a necessary evil as I'm a keyholder for work and have to be theoretically available 24/7.Originally posted by ian senior

Jaxs: there's no such thing as a tasteful baseball cap! And let's get the badge idea off the ground first - no point in running before we can walk.

Such a badge could, of course, also double up as the first piece of mechandise from the Connew Supporter's Club. Former members such as myself are still waiting!

Love the idea of a Connew badge.
