    This is a design I've done for a friend of mine who has finished a restoration of a 1957 Fuji Rabbit motorscooter. The original badge on top of the handlebars has faded and crazed badly.

    I figured that the design could be made in transparent detail and by polishing the top surface and painting the back we should be able to come very close to the original look.

    Here is the finished badge placed in its stainless housing.

    Wow I love the rustic look of it.

    It has a great classic look to it.

    Do you have any photos of the original? Would love to see the comparison :)
