I was going to do the 3/alexa badge swap on my mz3, but then I thought it might look cool if Alexa was written in Japanese, possibly a Kanji script. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get in touch with a custom badge maker or knows if this has already been done. If we found a supplier we could form a group buy if anyone's interested.
It would look something like this:
What do you think?

dude, i like the idea if you were to do this with vinyl and put it on your rear window or something. however, that is not read axela. try using katakana, it'll make your life much easier.

destiny/fate

the first kanji isn't destiny/fate. it's life. it's also used in words like "to command" (meirei). when you put those two kanji together the other way around, it's "life"
most people who have kanji for tatoos have no clue what they mean. a guy came up to me and one of my company's chinese speakers and showed us a new kanji tat he got. it was missing a stroke and had no meaning. if you're going to get a kanji tat, check with a native before you get it to make sure you're not going to get something that will embarrass you when you show it off to the "wrong" people.
