Interesting headstock logo ideas

[Hopkins]

That headstock looks the the Ibanez BTB headstock, here's the BTB 1405E.View attachment 703467

It's similar at a glance but totally different if you look at them side by side. The biggest difference is 3+2 vs 2+3 tuner configuration

The "chrome" logos buried under clear are "electroformed" by companies like DT Metronic.

They have an office outside Chicago.

There are also a number of Chinese vendors who do this on Alibaba.

Thanks for posting Brad - do you know what does a small badge/logo will generally run per unit?

This is hand painted with a raised/relief craft appliqué (S) Not perfect, but good enough for the present time.

I like that! I was thinking of something like that for my recent Squier PJ upgrade (painted the headstock)...I was thinking of an amp badge on the HS (prolly too big,never sourced anything) but the gent working on my bass added a waterslide. I like the raised up logo...

Can you give an idea as to how much this cost out the door? I looked at the site and this looks great and what I am needing as well for the type of build I am doing. Hopkins let me know from you as well. Just want an idea, to know if this will be worth it.

I paid $59.95 for 8 logo badges. That's about $7.49 each.

That's not too bad. Thanks for the info. Now I just need to figure out how to make the file to send to them. Me and technology are not friends.

My original logos were doe by Oudensha America, but DT Metronic has taken over their US office.

Pricing has changed for the better, mine are around $2 per logo with a minimum order of 100.

Still, Alibaba has them as low as $0.10 each for 100.

That said, most of the cost is in the setup.
