Default Corvette emblem?

Does anyone know what color the emblem on the back bumber is on an 85 bronze vette. My insurance company says that it is black and white , that doesn,t seem right? Anybody know??

Thank you .

The only "emblem" is the word 'CORVETTE' and the raised portions of the letters are black with the base in body color.

The insurance company put a corvette black and white sticker on my bumper, it looks like it is on a sticker. It looks strange, and it is not straight. Should it be spaced. This one is very close together and you cannot see the body color between the letters.

You're getting ripped. They are black. Locate the appropriate piece and have them redo it. Can't believe they threw a decal on there!!

I think Black with silver outline is the standard issue (like the one pictured). I just replaced mine on my white '85...and a coworker with a original metallic blue '85 is the same.
