The Owner's Commission by IM Observer

Give your car its own crest.

The Commission
A crest is not a logo. It's a name written in symbols.

The year you found it, the roads you've shared, the reason it was this one. Drawn by hand, for your car alone.

The first idea for Der Graue Mönch: a small shield with the Swiss Alps, beside the car.
01 / 03

The Brief

Your car, your roads, your reason. Two minutes of questions.

Four versions of the Der Graue Mönch lettering, side by side.
02 / 03

The Drawing

By hand, over about four weeks. You see the versions and choose.

More ways to order

Several cars, a gift, or a whole club.

Same tiers, same hand, same standard of drawing — only the shape of the order changes.

Several crests

A crest for every car in the garage.

Up to 5 crests in one commission — one per car, each drawn from its own brief and numbered in its own right. The first crest is full price; every crest after it is 15% less.

  • One order, one invoice, one queue place for each crest
  • Every car gets its own story, its own elements, its own refinement rounds
  • 15% off each crest after the first — a flat discount, whatever the quantity
Order for 2+ cars ->
A gift

Give a crest, not another keyring.

A crest is the one present an owner cannot buy for himself — it has to be drawn for his car. Tell us who it is for, and whether you want to hand it over on a particular date.

  • You order and pay; the crest is drawn for their car
  • Don't know the year, the colour or what the car means to them? Say the recipient will fill the brief — the surprise survives
  • Tell us the date you need it by and we plan the queue around it
Order as a gift ->
For clubs, workshops and dealers

Custom badges in batches.

Your club, workshop or dealership gets its own crest, drawn by hand and made as custom enamel badges.

  • From 5 badges
  • Custom design, drawn by hand
  • Mounting hardware included
  • Price agreed for each batch

Questions

A crest drawn by hand for your car. The Seal is the files. The Badge adds an enamel badge for your grille. The Chronicle adds a framed 40×50 cm (16×20 in) poster and a short film. The Observer has all of it.

Your choice. Every level comes with the files, including a vector file a vinyl shop can cut as a decal. For a real badge on the car, take The Badge or The Observer.

The Seal: by card, on a secure payment page, right after your brief. Card details never reach this site. Everything that ships, 2 or more crests and any add-on: by invoice, by email, after your brief.

About 4 weeks of drawing once we start, plus the queue: only a few crests are made each month. Files come by email; the poster and the badge ship after you approve the crest. If we cannot start within 21 days of the agreed window, you can take a full refund.

Yes: you both get 15% off orders not yet paid. Your friend just tells us who sent them before paying.

Up to 5 crests in one order, one per car. Every crest after the first is 15% off.

Yes. Choose "It’s a gift" when ordering. If you don’t know the car well, the recipient can answer the questions, and the surprise stays.

No. Same hand, same standard. Only what you receive changes.

Returning owners get a personal discount. Write to imobservercompany@gmail.com or on Instagram before you order.
