An illuminated badge 401 for attachment to a vehicle comprises a translucent or semi-translucent film 102, a mask layer 103 printed on the outside of the film and a transparent hard outer protective casing 105. The mask layer defines a pattern and is preferably formed as an opaque layer printed on the film with cutouts defining the pattern. LEDs 408 are provided for illumination and a dispersive light guide 409 may be provided to distribute the light from the LEDs evenly. Alternatively a domed lens (510, Fig. 5) may be provided for even light distribution. The film is preferably one-way tinted or provided with a metallic layer so as to reflect incident external light so the mask pattern is visible in daylight.
