Least favorite Auto Logo
From the C7 Announcement thread where there was some discussion about logos, I started this thread so you can post your least favorite, ugly or non sensical automotive logo.
Here is mine, haven't liked it since I first saw it. Is that supposed to be a "T"?

Im going to get grilled by saying this, and also I design logos for a living, but the chevy bowtie is one of my least favorite auto logos. The first thing I did was debadge my car as soon as I brought it back from the dealership. Looks bland and boring, makes a big impact on the viewer but I'm not a fan of it at all

- what I hear you saying is, you need a little more content in a logo. You might be right on, as the survey states that chevy is NOT a top 10 logo - http://www.logodesignworks.com/blog/...-company-logos I enjoy the simplicity of the current chevy logo; plain, no text, easily recognizable. It has changed allot!  Cadillac is another FAV; again... no text.

I pretty much hate any of them that have the name of the car company in them, i.e Land Rover etc.
The Audi "Olympic Rings" doesn't work either. Infinity is excellent, as is the Impala logo. |

I read a report once that the badges perceived as the lowest quality were the ones with color.
Chevy - Gold Bowtie Cadillac - see above Buick - Tri Shields have color GMC - even it has RED Badges without color Audi VW MB Toyota Lexus Nissan Infiniti I always thought that the Bow Tie should be a nicely done outline with no color. But that's just me and my opinion. Remember when the red Bow Tie was just an outline???

My favorite for logo incorporation/usage is McLaren. Look at the logo (the crescent after the word McLaren) then look at the lights on this McLaren P1. Notice something?

I don't mind the bowtie so much myself, but I do agree that it would make a world of difference for the standard bowtie to come in chrome with a body color inset.

My least favorite logo is Hyundai. It's a complete copy of Honda's logo. This is the strategy Hyundai used to develop their logo:
Hyundai Design Team Leader: "Hey, we need to create a logo" Hyundai Design Team Member: "OK, let's just use an italic version of the Honda "H" logo" Hyundai Design Team Leader: "Great idea!!!! Let's go home!"

Pre-1938 Dodge vehicles had the Star of David in it's logo. Certainly one of the most unusual logos.
