***Summary/Background:***
This is a niche product for individuals in the car racing scene that is a single handed sign holder with bespoke slogans that the passenger will hold out the window after racing an opponent. Currently as per the pictures, I need something a little more than a wooden handle.
Open to any and all ideas and design types in regards to the evaluation criteria below.
Will be completing and building prototypes using a CNC mill and lathe, will require project to have STEP files or similar.
***Evaluation Criteria:***
- Logo must be prominent on both sides of the handle.
- Must be able to fit a 6x12 sign in landscape that will have two holes at the centerpoint 0.30”/7.62 mm from the top and bottom with M6 screws. If you can design some sort of "quick detach/quick attach" method for this sign handle, you get extra points.
- Aesthetics, design and efficiency of manufacturing are priority. This is intended to be marketed to higher end clientele.
- Design must be automotive racing themed. It must have class and elegance. (Think Lamborghini or Ferrari "lines")
- Must have a hole/slot at the bottom of the handle for a wrist strap.
- Bonus points to a handle that can be manufactured without multiple parts. (Handle is one whole part, not cut into 2 or 3 pieces that need to be assembled.
- Max length of handle should be 12 inches long and no larger than 2 inches in diameter
- The lighter the handle, the better.
- Handles should have a recessed groove where sign plaques (12x6 inches, 5 mm deep) can be installed without catching on moving objects.
Do not want this to "look" cheap, even if it is "cheap"
I don't want a single piece of 1x2 aluminum bar with 2 holes at the top.
