Hi,
I'm looking to get a new logo (maybe a few) for one of my guitar cabs. A few logos are in bad shape and I'm going through my gear and wanting to renew things. Can anyone help. Here's a pic of the exact logo I'm wanting to make. I can provide all measurements.

[SORCHEROR]

what are the dimensions?and how is it attached?do you want it just like the pic?same color too?

Steve,
I can send you all the dimensions. It's attached by two pins that come off the back located where the "X's" are in this pic. It's a "dayglow" orange color. I'd like it just like the pic.

[dpryor]

How big is it and how many do you want? We'd like to take a look at it also.

[thkoutsidthebox]

What do you want it made from?

[buckkillr8]

it's aluminuim.

[buckkillr8]

anyone else wanna qoute it?

This looks like a good candidate for a Urethane casting if you don't mind plastic. We can make a 3D CAD model of this part and use it to CNC the mold pattern of the logo for you. Then, we make a mold from the master mold pattern and we cast all the logo plates you want.

Material would be a black ABS like plastic. Orange would be artisan painted.

Advantages:

1) You own the 3D CAD model (STL format) for future use (including machining Aluminum logos)

3) CAD model can be scaled for different sized logos to be made using the same process.

2) If you are needing more than one, plastic cast logos are relatively inexpensive compared to machining.

Thats what I was thinking too. Since the CAD data will have to be generated anyway, a urethane cast or even SLA for only one or two would be the way to go.

[ncmrfixit]

I was thinking 3D Scanning the original may be a good way to generate the CAD file if it is in decent shape and can be removed from the guitar cabs without damage.

I just invested in a 3D Laser Scanner and I am looking to try this process: Scan the part to an STL file, use a Z-Corp 3D Printer to make master, and then mold/ cast in Urethane.

I could do the machining or just provide the 3d model. Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks
Matt

The logos were orignally glued in and I'd rather not try to remove them as the logo can bend very easily. If the whole process was relatively cheap to mold a plastic logo then I might do that, but I'd rather but back the metal logo's on the cabs.

[buckkillr8]

after looking at my one cab, it actually appears that the metal under the orange is brass, or at least brass colored (gold). Could this be possible?

[buckkillr8]

ok I got brave and took a logo off one of the cabs. Heres what I found out. There's three little pins. I'm still not sure on the exact metal. But Oddly one of my other cabs that's missing a logo only has 2 holes for the pins.

[SORCHEROR]

as i suspected,they look metal stamped,most likely brass,would be costly to machine out of solid and than hot coated,is there a way to get replacements from the manufacturer?

[buckkillr8]

no, they stopped making the cabs in about early 1973. That's what I thought as well, metal stamped. Would this be a cheaper route?

[SORCHEROR]

no,it would not be cheaper due too they would have to build a die to stamp them,cnc machining is the only way to do it than,ill work up some pricing,ive just been swamped with production,plus trying to get ready for moving my shop
