Pardon me Mr Moderator, this might just squeak in as relevant on TNF.

I today stumbled upon a really quite amazing website devoted entirely to car manufacturer and car club logos. It's a Swedish site and it's called Car & MC Emblems

They claim "828 emblems and 503 Car & MC Brands". I'm not sure they're all straight out of and/or match manufacturers' Style Guides (many look pretty kosher to me though!) but they do represent a most useful resource.

I happened to be doing a little research on that short-lived entity Wolseley-Siddeley and dear old Google brought up the archive.

It IS a good site, but somehow I think the Gordon Keeble badge is not quite right - was the tortoise really black?

Interestingly some model specific badges are included. The Demon sticker from the Dodge Demon is there, as is the Barracuda badge under Plymouth. Too bad the Superbird one wasn't included. Meep Meep!

A very nice resource!
