Default New Exterior Emblems for LS4 Cars Coming Soon! Feedback Needed!

Over at GMLS4, we're working on a project with Sleeping Dragon Studios in Wisconsin to develop some specific logos for our cars.

The first badge is a retro-inspired crossed-flag design. Below is an early, VERY ROUGH prototype. Right now, Sleeping Dragon is trying to get the basic design finalized before adding details (checkers in the flags, paint, clear coat, etc.).

Obviously, since we're the intended audience, our feedback is needed. Take a look and post your thoughts and ideas about this design and what, if anything, could be changed!

I like it. I have been looking for a retro "325" logo and haven't come up with anything.

If you're on the GMLS4 Facebook page, you'll be able to see the evolution of this logo. If you have any ideas, just let us know.

I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I'll probably buy one anyway in remembrance of my car.

Custom colors or set colors?

Not sure yet on that. We're going to see where the design leads and go from there.

it looks good!

but not for nothin'- it is not something I would ever put on my Monte SS....

I debadged, and only have the SS emblems on it... and that style logo wouldn't look good on my car anyway....

Not sure if my opinion counts since im LS4-less these days, but I think the "325" needs to be brought down/lowered a touch. I cant wait to see the final product, bound to look very nice!

EDIT: Sorry if I crossed a line messing with it.

Here's another rough draft, albeit a painted one:

Any opinions on the design direction?

Default Badge design

‎325 Flag Badge rough cut with color: Other than some welding dimples, this is almost the final design. I have to modify the checkered flags so they cut easier and make the number a little bigger. Colors are (Rust-oleum Automotive Enamel): Primer, Cherry Red, Metal Speck Silver, Auto Gloss White & Engine enamel clear. Size: 7.5"x4". Comments/Questions? — at Sleeping Dragon Studios, Ltd.
