Grille badge

Does anyone know of good alternatives to the standard trd grille emblem? I like the look of it but it's come to be the standard so I'm looking to do something not so common but still good looking. Thanks for any input.

 

I've seen the Horned Toyota emblem
along with Batman and Superman

 

Not bad options but I'm not a big super hero fan though.

 

how about:

Very good option. I may have to draw up a design

 

Nice find it is.

Like this one I do.

 

I've always thought Diaz did a pretty good job.

 

Blacked out block ... subtle look ...

 

Working on one now. I will post pics in a bit.

 

What about looking into some of the vintage Toyota badges and logos?

 

This is pretty awesome!

 

Ok, I've seen this logo around here many times, I even have a couple stickers myself (got them with custom bedside decals from Cboy808), and I know it says "Teq". But what the hell is it?

 

Old Toyota logo, from 1930,s ,cool

 

That actually does make it cool.

 

I read on here somewhere that the three "letters" translate into "To" "Yo" Ta" I just can't remember what the terminology for the lettering style is...

 

WANT!! Wonder where it came from?

 

Google Foo:

TEQ is "To-yo-ta" spelled in Katakana, one of the Japanese phonetic alphabets. It was used as the Toyota logo starting in 1936 at the time when Toyoda Automatic Loom Works Ltd. launched its first car. The company came up with the TEQ logo and change in name from 'Toyoda' to 'Toyota'. One reason why TEQ was chosen as the logo was because the number of strokes in the Japanese word Toyota (eight) was considered to bring luck and prosperity.

 

Thank you!

 

I wish I knew. It's the result of random google searching and there's no info on how to get one. This would probably be a bring the picture to machine shop and have them replicate it.
