That's exactly the kind I was talking about, though the wreath isn't there.

Alfa Romeo all day long for me. The cross of the municipality of Milan and the coiled Visconti serpent.

I'm a minimalist, I prefer less ostentatious things in general, kinda like how I prefer how Scandinavian furniture looks. So I'll go with a simple one like the "H" from Honda.

I've always liked Peugeot's emblems:

We had a Peugot!!!

1983 505 STI....

It was sharp and fun but always was overheating, always. Looked just like this, color and all:



5 speed and leather, sunroof. Just not very reliable at all.

At the risk of being off topic, when I was in Europe last spring, while my rental car was an MG, my coworker who was there with me had a Peugeot 308 and I loved it! Though he had to pay extra to get a rental with an automatic transmission... I was plenty happy to have a manual, though shifting left handed was nuts. But to tie it in with this thread, that car was how I learned that Peugeot had changed their emblem again.

Anyway, he had a 308 like this:

I hate that I have a legit Mercedes and no star like this, but it would look weird.

Interesting thread topic. I think I'd have to say Mercedes - because I like both the logo in general and love it as a hood ornament. Ferrari would be a close 2nd place.

I think Mercedes is the most known symbol in the world, or definitely top 3. So beautiful but so simple.

Ferarri is a good one, obviously. The Lamborghini bull is cool, too.

Big fan of Peugeot's emblem (even though I usually prefer symmetry).

Still love the Toyota Harrier emblem I picked up in Jamaica back in 2007 for my old 1999 RX300. This was when I was still living in Mexico at the time.
