A good read for those who ever wondered why Sakichi Toyoda's company is named "Toyota" today.

you can actually get the "teq" emblems also. wonder if someone already has it on their SC

 

Good read...Interested about the emblems

 

i couldn't find any to buy, so i'm modeling one right now. the katakana font one. really want one lol.

 

there are a few for sale on a website called etsy. A few look decent and a few look cheaply made. Or even just 3d printed by them self and then sold? lol It's definitely different and would be cool if you could get one with no background behind the logo. Is the new rule for links zero? No more linking at all? I find that inconvenient. Anyways, that's very interesting history. I didn't know that.

 

Found these on instagram

 

Finding or buying those would be sweet ^^^ That's what I'm talking about with hollow. I couldn't find any that didn't have some solid color background behind them.

 

Anyone willing to make a few of these without the background? I'd buy one..for a reasonable price

 

Some people put them on the landcruiser's. you can link stuff just not certain things, like stuff you are selling. stuff you want to buy or discuss you can link but posting a picture helps I should have probably done that.

 

Great read. Thanks for posting this, Ali!

 

I'll have a 3D model done tonight. I'll post the printable file on here and you guys can do whatever you want with it

 

Thanks for clearing that up I was a bit confused.


At first I thought you said you'd have one printed tonight and then I thought to myself, well that [probably means a couple weeks jk lol Curious to how it the model comes out.

 

now that is spiffy, i think ill call toyota workers 'the infinity boys/girls'....americanized.

 

The pseudo two strokes are there ,,,, look at the negative space of the horizontal bar of the the "t". The two notches at the end. Perfectly positioned at the the top of the last letter.

This would make it a winner.

I think that's just the depiction of the brush stroke. It's been a long time since I studied Japanese, but I recall those little details being pretty important.

 

Cool info here!
