I just hope they do not put blue bow ties back on Chevy cars.

That's funny to me because I've always hated the gold/bronze-ish bowtie. I think silver would look much better and clash with much less.

NO! The move away from coloured badges is much better! The colours clash with the paint on most of the cars. Lots of people take the colour out themselves when possible. I hate the gold Bow Tie on my Silverado and this summer, it will be going black to match the rest of the truck. Buick dropped the colours off of the tri-shield a while ago and it looks much better. Pontiac needs to drop the red (but not in favour of that redesigned badge. I didn't like that) and the same goes for Saturn and GMC. The GM chicklets they put on the cars were thankfully silver, not blue. Imagine how silly blue ones would look. The only badge in GM's stable that should keep the colours is Cadillac. The redesign was good and it would just not look right all silver. The rest don't need colours IMO.

I like this new badge for Vaulhall. :yup:

I should have read the entire thread before posting...I agree with you 98% (I actually like the redesigned Pontiac badge sans color). But yea, no color for any brand except Caddy which includes the Mark of Excellence.

The gold Bow-Tie is supposed to be on the Trucks.
Blue = Cars
Gold = Trucks
Or that's the way it used to be. Silver would look best on the cars and SUVs fo sure, but the silver on the trucks wouldn't be quite right, because of the chrome bar they sit on. I think colour keyed looks best on the trucks. Or just black on any colour truck.

You're right...I didn't think about that chrome bar. I've noticed, though, that the new Malibu has HUGE gold bowties--I hate 'em.
