Maybe lecar is of the opinion alot of owners maintained....that is until they saw them in person. I'm willing to bet that if lecar saw these "S" badges in person, he'd be singing a different tune.

le car,
There's no accounting for taste, even among desigers. I've spent most of my professional life working with graphic desingers, and frankly, I think I know good work when I see it.
But all taste is subjective...
I know that many people who have seen the badges have commented on how beautiful they are. I suppose all those people don't have your finely honed aesthetic sensibility about an S
