Logo advice, please

[kenbu]

Newbie here, hoping for some advice. I'm making a click style pen for a friend and discovered the nice custom clip/logo sets sold by Hut products are made for the Euro style twist pen -- the clip mounting hole is small, appropriate for a screw-in end cap, but too small for other designs, like clickers. There is not enough metal to enlarge the hole.

The logo itself is a slightly domed button 10 mm in diameter. I thought I'd recess it into the pen barrel, but when I test fit it on a dowel using holes of varying depths, the button either stuck out or the hole seemed too obvious.

Any suggestions? Could I just epoxy it directly to the pen's stock clip and expect it to hold with regular use? Is there any reasonable way to mount something like this on the pen barrel? Other ideas?

I appreciate your suggestions.

Did you think of maybe drilling a hole the size of the logo and gluing it in, if there is enough depth to the wood? Just an idea.

I believe HUT also makes those clips and domed images to fit slim line pens, (they call them traditional pens), Could you use it on a slim line click pen? Never tried it. Used these only on the regular slim line kits.

You could make a Jr. Gent with a custom wood finial, inserting the button in the finial.

Thanks for the replies so far. Tim, I did try a few hole depths, but none seemed to look right. Crazy, I do have the traditional clip, which seems to fit a twist Slimline cap, but I wanted to use it on a clicker.

Anyone have other suggestions? I see the Slimline Pro is a click pen. Anyone know the diameter of the clip mounting hole?

still need help?

If you are still needing help on this PM me. I've made a lot of click pens and used Huts logos.
