1150 Four Artwork

[Captain Klutz_imp]

Folks, I decided to get a bit artsy (artistic?) over the past week, grabbed an old 750 Four emblem, surgically removed the digit "7", played around with various forms of 1s, and ended up with this vectorized new emblem.

I hear you scream. Some with joy, some in pain. Please take a moment and let me explain.

Why not 1100 Four? Easy. Because what we ride is not an 1100. The label may say so, but that's due to some out-of-whack marketing department. What kind of company makes those number smaller than the actual cc displacement? Only the goofies from uh, uhm, well you know who I mean. It's an 1140 cc engine; that's closer to 1150 than 1100. But more importantly, and I know this is going to convince anyone, no matter how hardcore you may think you are: What rhymes with Seven fifty? Eleven fifty! Not Eleven Hundred. I really had no choice here.

If you are still not convinced, feel free to use the SVG linked below and knock yourself out. Make it an 1100 Four. Or an 1140 Four. The file is there for everyone to use and abuse. There are companies that make adhesive stickers, or stitch it on your favorite t-shirt, jacket, seat for a few bucks.

I hereby explicitly encourage everyone to grab the SVG file, modify it to your liking with colors, patterns, gradients and present your result in this thread.
The SVG has two layers named "Outline" and "GlyphFill". The GlyphFill has two separate outlines with the colors for "1150" and "Four"; I leave it to you to guess what the outline is. I used the open source program inkscape to draw the SVG. Most browsers can also render SVG (Firefox certainly can) and with Control-Mousewheel you can adjust the size in a wide range.
