    I like this one:
    [​IMG]

    But can you change the font to the Prius-like Font? (see This Link) And maybe add a think bar beneath that says "Installed" or "Augmented" or something along those lines?

    I tried to create something myself, but can't seem to figure out how to install the font in Word.

    yea, very close. I sort of pictured a solid black bar extending the full length of the BT TECH part with the "Reinforced" in white (in relief on the actual product) centered in that black bar.

    No, just a thin underline. So like the previous one but underlined with a black bar and "Reinforced" in white/relief centered in the black underline bar.

    You added one above I hadn't noticed...
    [​IMG]
    So just about like this, but put the "installed/reinforced" in a separate underlined bar beneath the BT Tech...you can leave the BT Tech part just as it is in this one...I like that. But heck, this one is awesome too. I think my concept and this one are great.

    That's it, I might bevel the edges of the lower line to make it more dynamic or to match the "Tech" part. I finally found the Honda Accord Special Edition badge that is similar to what I had in mind...might make it easier for others to imagine what the BT tech one would look like...

    Here's the previous one mocked up 3D. Can you tell yet that I want to win the prize? :D

    As for your suggestion on the above, how about this? the angle helps, and it could be front-beveled like the Accord one:

    I think Brian is going to have to award 2 (or more) Stiffening Plates ... cutting one plate in half (or pieces) is going to lessen its stiffening powers.

    That's EXACTLY what I had imagined! Can you mock it up like the other one?

    Heck, I don't need to be in the running...I have the plate and would probably just put it up for grabs on the site for someone else. I do want one of the badges though since I'll have at least 2 BT Tech products on my Prius.

    Here are a couple more 3D mockups... the first is the same as the last but with blue interior. If we're talking possibility of painting, that's what I'd want ;)

    The next is the mockup of the one Evan liked.

    I don't have any software to create images so here's a very rough sketch. Your emblem would be just the BT added to the existing HSD emblem.[​IMG]
