Last night I noticed that someone in the past day or two decided to vandalize my car. How? The jerk just pried/broke off the Saturn emblem from the front. Wtf? Of all the things to do to fuck with someone's car, you're going to steal the emblem? From a low-end, ten-year-old Saturn?! *shrug* So, now I'm facing a decision: what should I do next? Obviously there's no point in trying to find out who did it. This little chunk of plastic isn't worth that much. Instead, I'm trying to decide what to do about this blemish on the front of my car. I figure I have three options:
For the last option, I was thinking maybe something like this: The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

Star Trek and Transformers... nice. I guess nobody's gonna steal them, they're not as hot as the Saturn one.

Could it have actually fallen off?
Just maybe? ... |

That's what I was wondering. Who in the hell would steal a Saturn emblem (I drive a Saturn, and have owned two since 1994, so don't take my comment as a slam in any way! ). Maybe since they're on the way out, folks are trying to get an early jump on the collectible market?
But, yeah...if you're faced with a missing emblem, look at it as an opportunity to create your own. Not sure about the "Star Trek" thing, but whatever tickles your tater. Hmmm...I need to go out and see if mine is still on. |

I say go for the Triforce or a Hylian shield.

Possible, but unlikely. See that little bit of red plastic in the middle? I did a little research on replacements and apparently there are two holes and the emblem has two plastic feet that go into the holes to help hold it in. The red piece that's left there shows sure signs of breakage, see?
I don't think plastic just "falls off" with uneven, sharp edges like that. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts.

That shape lends itself to lots of good ideas. Hell, make several and switch 'em out. Seasonally or whatever. Have a Finder/happy Mac one, a big Snow Leopard "X", Apple logo, etc.

Junk yard. I'm sure there's a ton of Saturns there.

I say you epoxy a Mercedes emblem to it. Go upscale, you deserve a treat!

You should glue in a magnet where the badge used to be and use that to customize the badge. Anytime you find something you want to put there, you can just glue a magnet to it and stick it on the front! Also works for those cheesy souvenir magnets.

Go to the Creative Endeavors thread and look at my Action Figure. I could send you some parts from one of the castings and let you have it chromed. It would be, as they say, "unique".

Why stop there? The Rolls-Royce logo is also a upright rectangle, if you know what I mean. There's a Geo in my apartment complex that has "TOYOTA" badges in addition to the Geo ones. And they're way larger than any real Toyota badges, and in weird places, like lying along the top of the bumper. I'm like, boy, they sure pulled a fast one on me! and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong |

Looks like I misjudged the size a little bit, but that's why they call it a prototype, right?
