I noticed the same thing today at a different show, it was a neat little detail. See if you can spot it in my small picture.

My 2011 CTS-V has this same design feature. It's a super cool detail.

I have to admit that in the last gen I saw an overuse of the C6 flag logo, especially on my '05 Corvette vert. I had flag logos from the front bumper to the steering wheel to the seat headrests to the waterfall to the rear end. And I'm seeing that kind of excess with the C7 gen. From the C7 flags (on the front bumper, the headlights, the steering wheel, the start up screens, the windshield, the back window, the back end) to the Corvette text, to the Stingray logos. It just all seems a bit too much.

I think the styling team went logo crazy. But, they are not alone. Everyone seems to be doing it today.

Remember the black dots on the rear C6 window? On the C7 they are little bow ties!

I wonder if it will project a subtle logo on the wall of your garage as you pull in? Kind of a shadow in the the light in the halo(or scatter) of the main beam.

I thought they were C7 logos in the rear glass. I have not seen bow ties. The bow tie is the logo you see in all the Chevrolet grills.

That logo is pretty cool.

They could have toned down a couple others.

Agreed, I prefer the small and subtle ones. NOT the "CORVETTE" written on the back, and the large flags and stingray emblems. Not necessary - the car would be classier without it.

My dealer told me (read: "Take with a grain of salt") GM is trying to add some finer details to some of their more upscale models to portray quality. This was when discussing the GMC in the new Acadia's tail lights
