Forum | Plus 4 gold Guv’nor badges

Post edited 6:43 pm — Apr 22, 2010 by Andrew

I’ve found a company who are going to produce me some of the gold / brass type Guv’nor badges. If I have any criticism of the Guv its that its rather devoid of markings and I love the Plus 4 crossbar badges — seen in the second picture here; (http://www.guvnorownersclub.co.….plus-four/)

They are making me 2 sets 100mmx25mm so I’ll report back when I get them.

I’ll see how these ones work out and then ask him.

He seems a good sort

We’ll need a design !

Please excuse the rear light — I’ve yet to find something suitable. Today I ordered a front ‘Bullet light’ so I’m looking forward to that, I think I’m done with the modifications now… !!

Andrew,

Again nice outcome on the badge. Do you happen to know what font or type face  is used for “Guv’nor” ?

Best,

Jonathan

Good morning one and all.….…..regarding the Guv’nor typeface, maybe it’s stating the obvious, but could the GOC officially ask Pashley what the font is? If we don’t ask, we won’t know! 

My guess is that it’s a Pashley in house font, but it would be very useful to know.

Maybe the GOC should seek from Pashleys offical approval to use the font for our site and future projects? Pashley, after all, do get some very useful free international publicity from this website.

Perhaps our esteemed Founder James is already on the case?.….…..safe riding, Geoff.

MGcC/One & All,

No need for apologies, many previous posts are worth resurrecting.

I did contact Pashley asking permission for the GOC to use the “PASHLEY” and “GUV’NOR” style fonts but nothing came of it!

You could go through the route Andrew took, see his post above dated 27.04.10. Another way worth considering, to produce a logo for your car etc., would be to scan the required printed logo and print onto water slide transfer or adhesive film carrier sheet using a printer.

If this was for your own personal use I don’t believe you would be infringing any copyright issues?

Safe rides,

DW.
