Default "Jake" Emblems

Does anyone know of a company that makes "Jake" emblems? I want a small one to use instead of the bowtie next to the Z28 on the back of my car. Prefer it to be silver or stainless. If anybody already has one a pic would be great.

I think its awesome, but I would never put one on anything other than a Corvette.

they have to get GM licensing to do any logos and such, so thats probably a no-go with them.

I like the logo. It's no different than putting GS stripes on camaro or vette rims on a TA. And it's something different. I've found some decals but no emblems yet. Maybe I'll just have to use on of those if I want it on there.

Perhaps you could contact bbv to see if they have any emblems. I haven't seen any on their site, other than the stickers, but you never know.
Personally, I think they should stay on vettes, but it's your car haha. Good luck with the search.

I agree with everyone else that it doesn't belong on anything but a vette, but the corvette museum store has some options that you could possibly use as an emblem

I'll call it Elwood if it matters. I never expected this kind of response. We have been interchanging parts and pieces off of f and y bodies for years, I never imagined a little emblem would cause people to freak out. I would bet about 25% of the people on here that have aftermarket rims probably have ZR1's. How many people have GS stripes (I don't care if they didn't originate with the Corvette, you still don't own a Grand Sport Camaro), or stinger hoods, or other stuff like that. I'm not trying to say I have a C6R Camaro, just that the bowtie is boring/played out and I want something new.

do something custom, talk to emblempros.com about making something up for you

this falls into the "SS/WS6 badge on v6" category. Edition specific badges are different than hoods/rims/stripes, in my personal opinion.

What about something like this?



With Camaro replacing stroker and maybe one of these Z28/LS1/346 or something like that replacing the numbers.

looks too big for where you said you'd want to use it. seems like you'd lose the effect of the details/numbers/"camaro" in order to shrink it down to fit next to the Z28 on the rear. Other than the issue of size, not bad, and much more original/unique

edit* take that back about the size. now that i look at my 6LE badges, i dont think it'd look bad even at a size that would fit that spot.

I sent him an email about rendering me up some custom ones and about the size/s available on them. So hopefully he can have something in the next couple days for me. In the meantime I'm going to keep looking for something different as well as being open to suggestions from forum members.
