BORG Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Best Logo: So good it hasn't been changed since 1929! Not quite as old as the Ford logo, but close enough! Worst Logo: Saturn is round yet they squeezed it into the industries only square logo! Good enough for Ford I guess it's good enough for KIA, wrong!

RichardJensen Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Ford, VW, and the three pointed star (Mercedes not the sadly neglected laurel leaves of Benz) are my nominations. Instantly recognizable on 6 continents. Edited September 1, 2008 by RichardJensen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark B. Morrow Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Ford, VW, and the three pointed star (Mercedes not the sadly neglected laurel leaves of Benz) are my nominations. Instantly recognizable on 6 continents. All 3 are instantly recognizable icons. BMW has done quite well with the propeller. Pontiac was a good one in the '60s-'70s when they did a lot of advertising as was the Olds Rocket. The current Dodge logo is just strange it reminds me of a diagram of the female reproductive system from high school health class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a sucker for logos, I like most of them, including the Hyundai, Saturn, and *gasp* Toyota logo. Not so fond of the Honda or Kia. Chevy & Ford are OK.

Ovaltine Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) I've always hated the cat-head emblems on Jaguar wheels, trunk lids, and grills. They either look like psychotic cartoon housecats, or robo-cat transformer-like things: The Jaguar logo on the other hand is beautiful.... Some of the WORST logos I've seen are appearing on the Chinese companies' cars: BONUS: I had to look up the Daewoo logo.... IT IS A JOCKSTRAP! IT'S FRIGGIN' HILARIOUS! Here's a blog/poll confirming it! http://mobeblog.blogspot.com/2008/01/daewoo.html -Ovaltine Edited September 1, 2008 by Ovaltine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ford Jellymoulds Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 This has got to be the worse logo ever seen not even a Toyota Tundra badge on the tailgate could beat this, if you had this logo on your car it would mean you would soon break down, not start, all 6 pots hold more water than the radiator, spent most of its life with a tow rope tied to it or on the back of a breakdown truck, you would spennd more time under it & pushing it than sitting in the seat driving it. Static motoring at its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StangBang Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 -Ovaltine That one looks like a wedge of swiss cheese! The Ford Blue Oval has changed a little over the years in subtle ways.

Michael Reynolds Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) I hate the 'Three Hockey Sticks' it's tired, and I wish Mercury would just use the God head logos from the Marauder already. Of course the Blue Oval is one of my favorite logos. Along with.... Edited September 1, 2008 by Michael Reynolds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstock Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Love the Ford shield. They should do more with it, IMHO. Not one of my faves. Reminds me of an onion, or an octopus. Edited September 1, 2008 by Edstock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

156n3rd Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Not my favorite, but it does have a sort of class about it. I abhor, hate and reject the current gold bow tie. It looks cheap.

BORG Posted September 2, 2008 Author Share Posted September 2, 2008 (edited) The Lincoln logo looks better in the three dimensions, but it could use an update. I am in favor of increasing the prominence and size of company logos on cars, particularly if they are attractive designs. I generally prefer logos without color, I was glad when Lincoln lost the red filler. Pontiac logo looks really outdated, they should use this one.
