I also think it's more in line with the C6R vs. the C5 generation. I wonder if Jake will be carried over into the C7?

But then, I don't like stick figures of the family, three letter identifier stickers for the ritzy resort I frequent, or anything stuck anywhere on a painted surface either.

Good question ! From what I've researched and read over the past few days the logo started at the end of the C5 generation and has carried over more with the C6

I may have just missed it if the Jake logo/brand was created before 2005.

The first time I saw Jake was with the C6R racing team. I've seen some modifications to Jake that incorporates the C5 logo/flags, however I don't remember ever seeing Jake during the original C5 production run.
I may have just missed it if the Jake logo/brand was created before 2005.

IMO i like the logo, kinda takes the old man stereotype out of the vette (me being 18 i have to defend it a lot!) and gives a sinister racing feel, but id go for an exhaust plate or something subtle for a c5.

concept was developed at the end of the 2004 season, but wasn't implemented until 2005 season so its a c6 that got its berth from the c5r.

Logo but after reading some of your thoughts I think I'll leave it alone

I have a Jake logo with the C5 flags on the center of the hatch glass - looks OK but I'm not tied to it being on the car.

Speaking of ricers, I visited my local AutoZone store this afternoon to pick up some fluids and fuses for my DD. I ventured into the "Accessories" aisle and enjoyed a good laugh. Now I know where all those fake chrome, skulls with red eyes, and chain license plate frames come from.
I actually saw a stick on carbon fiber hood scoop for $49.99. For that price, you know it must be good!
