Default New TWIN TURBO emblem idea, need ya'lls input

I'm thinking about designing and manufacturing another TWIN TURBO emblem.
One of two possible ideas I have:

1) Making the left & right front fender Z emblem have TWIN above
the Z and TURBO below it in the correct Nissan font;

2) Making a new rear hatch "hamburger" emblem say TWIN TURBO
instead of NISSAN and, again, have it be the correct Nissan font.
This emblem would be chrome plated just like the OEM Nissan
hamburger.

Start up costs are high on any new emblem so I need input to see what
if any interest there would be in having one made vs. the other. I have no idea what pricing would be on either style at this time although it would be
comparable to what the TWIN TURBO Z and SUPERCHARGED Z emblems sold for which is about $65.00 shipped.

Sorry,
I don't have P-shop so you're going to have to visualize what I'm talking about. As far as pics of the original TWIN TURBO Z emblem I designed and had made, scroll down in the middle of the following thread:

What you can do is just add onto the original "350Z" that is on the left side of the rear of the car and make it say something like "350Z TT."

Any chance you'll be able to do an emblem for the G?

If I were to do an emblem for the G35, what font would you think would look best? Modeled after the OEM "G35" emblem or modeled after the "INFINITI" letters? In your opinion, what would there be the most demand for? TWIN TURBO, TURBO, or SUPERCHARGED?

Definitely go with them modeled after the G35 emblem, a lot of G35 owners debadge the Infiniti letters. Well, I'd say go with TWIN TURBO but I'm a little partial. There are quite a few of us, here and on G35driver.

Ok, where would you put it? Left side of trunk opposite of "G35"? Somewhere else?

I would like one for the G35 also and would go off the G35 font and just have the letters TT as I think Twin Turbo would be to long plus it stands out a little to much for me in Cali.

I think were the G35 emblems are on the passenger side of the trunk. Turbo or 3.5T (for us ST guys) or 3.5TT (for the TT guys) That way the only difference for ST and TT crowd would be a T.

TURBO Z emblem is no longer being produced; however you can buy the TWIN TURBO Z emblem and just leave off the TWIN part since it is seperate from TURBO & Z. PM Westpak as he's got some for sale:

I'd go with TWIN TURBO, same size as G35 and separate them so you can sell to ST owners for their G. I think putting it on the opposite side of the G35 will be the way I go...
