Mate they are awesome. Unfortunately they are way too much for me to consider. I would need two of them and at those prices I wouldn't even think about it. Good idea though.

Thanks for that, they do look cool. 8)
The price of the discs are due to the cost of material and the amount of work that goes into making them.
These are not typical, standard, jap discs. These are good quality engineered, custom, made to order discs..

The idea is awesome!
Personally I don't like the script. Id like to see something that matches the current logo. Again, thats only a personal preference.

I agree with the script as for price,I never priced a disc from Triumph so not sure what the cost difference is.

I'm not keen on the font used either, but I really like the idea. That's something quite different.

I don't like the font. Interesting idea though.

All things wear out, curious as to what they would look like

after, say 50% wear and tear?

I've gotta say I like the font. I wonder what Bill Bryant would say.

In use at the moment. Hopefully I'll get some miles in, but I think they'll look just as well right through.
Any suggestions for font? I looked at the Hinckley logo but won't look the same when altered to put in the disc...
If we can agree a font and sort some numbers for a production run I'll cost the idea of a BA.com special offer.. ?

I envision some sort of block font, perhaps serif. I just don't like the handwritten/script/novelty font look. Just a personal preference though. Too bad they couldn't be cut to order based on the customer's preferred font or design. I'm sure that would drive the cost way up.

That's what I'm looking at now.. I need to translate fonts to shapes for the CAD package then I can cut anything into them for about the same price. ;-)

I actually like the font. I think they look very cool. Just a little too expensive for me in Australia but then most things out of the UK are when you factor in the value of our dollar and then slap on postage and I have a speedy so that means two discs.

Wide Latin is pretty close to the old modern logo.
