They dont exist anymore. GM put a stop to anyone selling them. Bad Boy Vettes sells the C6 Jake. I can email you the image of the C5 Jake and you could take it somewhere to get a decal made. That is about the only way you can get it done now.

Tikiman sent me the image file and I had a local company make some up for me. That is the only way to get them as 02MillenniumVette already stated.

Good luck

Default so what is the deal

Ok so does anyone have the skinny? I mean how can GM put a stop to using the Jake logo when it is not theirs? I thought the logo was owned by BadBoy Vettes? which is not affiliated with GM. Something is not right here...I guess some questions would be.....

1. Who created the C6R Jake logo....was it badboyvettes?
2. If yes, how and why would GM say you can't buy it anymore....they have no jurisdiction.
3. Who created the C5R Jake logo? To the best of my knowledge this remains a mystery and it sounds very much like GM wants in on it....I would say, that someone from GM better pony up the proof that this logo is owned by them, but so far I have not seen a shred of proof anywhere and I have visited all of their corporate logos that they allow printers to use for printing of their corporate materials. There is no "jake" logo at all even available.

Something is fishy guys!

I agree that this is NOT a GM issue. Check out the article in October issue of Vette Magazine...

I think GM bought the rights to use it from Bad Boy Vettes and apparently in the copyright or whatever it is they have on it, it covers the Jake with the C5 flag also. The C6R Jake is on the new ZR1 so GM does have the rights to it. You can PM forum member mike76002, I believe he got a letter from GM telling him to stop selling the C5 Jake and anything that has to do with the Jake logo.
