Well this is a good response. I'm actually surprised.
The Badge will be a Colour Enamel Lapel badge, around 55-60mm long. There's no space for your own name I'm afraid. Perhaps this is a good thing as it's a conversation starter? We went round and round in circles in the turning section about design. In the end I decided to take over as no one was ever going to agree 100% on a single design. I contacted the company earlier today to see how we stand in terms of a sample of the finished product. You have to pay for 'tooling' so I guess you loose that if you're not entirely happy. I will update you when they reply.
I have been questioned about the price of the badges. I went for a high quality badge rather than the absolute cheapest I could find. If the forum would like me to talk you through the finer details I can. I deal with figures as part of my job, I do know what I am doing in this area. But I can assure you there is nothing rotten in denmark. The figures have been run past Charley and he has given his official nod.
When I get a firm delivery date, I will begin to take advance payments. The initial order was for 50 units.
