I prefer the logo in post 10279. On it's own, the AK stands out with blue gradations on grey. It would look very nice on the black AK cabinets, with the grey providing highlighting contrast for the blue logo to "pop" and be noticeable.

Yep, I started mine by tracing over that one. The last time around I just colorized that, printed to photo paper, and laminated plastic to both sides. It looked OK and held up fine for several years. But it went along with my old TC112 and I need something new for the TC118, and the online maker landscape has opened up a lot recently, so time for a spec upgrade I reckon. As usual, I'd encourage others to jump in and work off my vector art if they care to roll their own versions, assuming the vendor comes through the way I expect him to. I've posted quite a few pics of his pedal work elsewhere on TB, he really does a remarkable job.
And of course I'll be running this by Duke once I have something concrete to show him in a week or two.

Very nice, Charlie!
Since the last time the topic of badges came up, I have had a few logos test-printed on a 3D printer, here is a scan of a sample. It measures 1.8" by 1.2". The white border helps it to be "legible" against a black background:

I like the non-descript (I mean that in a good way) look of the AK cabs as is.
Having said that, I'm ordering whatever logo is "approved".
Heck Yeah!

You could kinda make that triangle in the K look like a loudspeaker!

I like the 3D print idea a lot Duke. Meanwhile, I ported my UV printed version to your dimensions and submitted that file this morning. Here's the digital proof I just received:
Testers will be on 1/16" plastic with self adhesive backing and a brushed stainless finish. If they look decent I'll be happy to send you one to see what you think. I ordered three and they should be here in about a week.

That would probably tread on the KEF copyrighted logo, which leads off with a stylized K “speaker” logo.

Or maybe a bit sooner:
Pic of the actual badges, ready to ship today from Portland.
Great work! As soon as they’re ready for sale, I want 3 of them!
Put me down for two(2) and message me your mailing or PayPal address to my inbox, please, for payment! - Nice work!
Subscribing for 2 - these look to have come out quite nicely! Thanks to all who were in the creative loop.
Well then. My C1233 could stand a bit of bling.
