Custom emblem design for Project CSST - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cst69 · 11-30-2011, 07:07 PM

I am needing some direction on custom door emblems I am designing for my build (Project CST/SS). The basic idea is to build a 1968 SS version of a CST shortbed as GM could have produced. Help me with the design along with any additional input. I have some ideas posted below to choose from.

Sorry really don't like any of them. Concept is good but Chevrolet traditionally didn't stack package emblems on the SS cars. The SS emblem pretty much stands alone. That said I think it would look best with the simple SS fender emblems for say a '68 Camaro without a CST emblem. Possibly add a paint stripe high on the fender line or low along the top of the body molding , except the wheel arches. Kind of like a ElCamino SS. If you really want to run a CST badge and SS then go with the stock CST door emblem and add the '68 Impala Super Sport emblems under the front markers like the later four wheel drive emblem. It would be understated and classy.

I voted for H, but E or H would work. G looks good to.
C looks too 69-72 emblem-ish

I agree with above as well....I would do something like CST SS (the ss in bigger size font)

Thanks for the input, I do understand and appreciate the thoughts on this. I do like the idea of stock CST door badge and an optional SS under the marker light. I will weigh this in my decisions. It would save a lot of work also..

I voted for F because I like the Circle SS... If it were me though I think I'd go for a CST/SS
