Default the new C7 logo
We've speculated about every other C7 detail ad nauseum... ...now let the new C7 logo speculation begin!

Will it be another crossed flag swishy thing? Something retro? Or something angular and edgy?

Merchandising the Corvette logo is big $$$! Will it look cool on a black tshirt?
Enter your version here. Hoaxes welcomed (it's not like we can stop them anyway). Claiming you actually saw the C7 logo, is a huge plus... even if it is total BS. At least make up a believable story for us.

Come back in January to see who actually got it right!

Cheers,
JB

That STINGRAY emblem is fine art of a type we haven't seen on a production car in many a year.

I remember seeing a more stylized version of the C6 crossed flags somewhere, and thought it looked fine. Don't remember where, though. Maybe somebody else does.

I can't find it...thought it was from the Transformer Stingray Concept but could be wrong.

Agreed. 3D, multiple components, beautifully sculptured. It is a great looking logo. How do they put it on a coffee mug?

Those flags would make Jake a look a lot more pissed off.

I believe those flags were designed by a guy who used to post here. He actually got a job at GM Design and had to pull all his concept art off the web. He did some really top shelf work.

No kidding? I like the new flags design . . . The Stingray is too busy for a logo, I think.

And would also add too much weight, look at that heavy chunk of steel!

They would make of aluminum or titanium. Possibly hollow. Don't short change the ability of the engineers to offset what the stylists do to lower the performance of the car.
