Car logos

[Babba]

How would you grade existing car logos, which is your favourite, and why? What would you change?
Not the cars, of course

I would also add, I am not familiar with automobile craft history, but at least I know - most of them are actually crests (specially those with older traditon), modern are more connected with modern graphic concept, I think.
I prefer Jaguar - jaguar in a full run, represents speed, & strenght; luxury as modeled in silver (not thinking of it as a brand); and it's simple.

Should have on mind when creating a car logo - a possibility of nice and functional hood ornament (except custom, of course).

And, here is something very interesting "Evolution of Car Logos":
"... This article should come in handy for the next time you’re stuck in traffic: have you ever wondered why the Audi in front of you has a logo of four interlocked rings? Did you know that the Cadillac emblem was inspired by a family crest of a nobleman who later turned out to be a fraud? Or that Volkswagen was Hitler’s idea?.."

Really interesting to see how car manufacturers have changed their logos over time. Cool post!
