Voyager badge reproduction

[Peter Monta]

I thought I'd have a go at reproducing the Voyager badge (emblem, logo). Here's a test cut in aluminum, painted black, then sanded on top to expose the aluminum surface:

   

The CAD model looks like this:

   

By the way, this prior thread was very helpful and was the source of the HP-16C image I used:

Images to guide the modeling of the other badges were scraped from eBay. The best images I came across are attached below, but they are poor. Could I ask, if you have a Voyager, to take a sharp closeup of the badge and post it here? Thanks. Given that there seem to be several types of badge (embossed metal sheet, electroplated plastic), the more images from various generations of Voyager the better.

I've ordered a sheet of 20 badges from Shapeways in their "Fine Detail Plastic" material ($7.50 plus shipping). We'll see how it goes; they probably won't be quite as good as the milled version. I plan to try giving the plastic parts a metallic finish on top using laser foil.
