Before I start, I HAVE NO IDEA where to put this but as it IS custom, I'll try here.
I happen to have large a clasp pin/badge/button of the 1960s Batman logo (yellow oval with the word Batman-red- over a bat sillouette-black- and a Batman head-blue, black, and "flesh". It is JUST the right size for a bonnet badge.
I would like opinions as to JUST which color combo would be the most "appropriate." All are "historically" correct for Batman at various periods, as you ALL know.
-All Black (hat, torrie, everything)
-Black body, red torrie
--red trim and tails
--black trim and tails
-Black body and torrie, gray trim
-Navy body, black torrie, trim and tails
-Royal blue body, black torrie, trim and tails
-Royal body, yellow torrie, black trim and tails
-other ideas/combos?
The main colors I am open to are black, gray, royal blue, and yellow
-I could, but am NOT using purple, though it could be EASILY argued.
I think THIS crowd will have GREAT ideas and opinions!
In advance, THANKS!!!
Sum Nox!

I'd probably say that for a '60s style pin, go with the blue and/or gray. I'd stay away from yellow, since the logo itself has yellow in it. Black would be more fitting for a more modern design.
Sounds like a cool project, be sure to keep us posted on how it comes along!

I suppose I'd have to see the badge itself to get a better idea of what colors would work best. Sounds like a neat project though. We usually don't get too many people posting about crafts other than custom figures and models.

Ohhh. Then that's not actually the '60s logo, as you referred to it in your first post; that was first used in the '70s and throughout the '80s. I'd consider that particular logo to have a slightly more serious and dark mood compared with the '60s. So in that case, I would probably agree with Spencer and say gray or blue would work well for the bonnet as a whole. If you chose grey, blue and red would probably work well for the various trimmings.
I think we have your particular pinback in BYTB's Pinback Button archives. A lot of them were made in 1982 actually. CLICK HERE to see for yourself.

Yep, here:
I'm sorry for the mislead. It was packed away and I retreived it and posted quickly. I am so used to the "modern"/"standard" yellow and black one that I didn't think through it in the original post (my bad).
I still might do with solid navy actually for this one.
Sum Nox!
