Default A8 Owners Club - The logo

OK guys, it's been a labour of love so thought I'd put it out there for the vote.

Let me know your thoughts, good and bad

Looks good.. Have you tried it with the A8 and OC on the same level near the bottom?

Just a thought.. But happy to go with that..

How about this?

I felt that having the 8, o and c on the same line, maybe led to some confusion?

i like your first one better but how about trying the A-8-O-C inside the four Audi rings or perhaps A8-S8-O-C ?

Default Not criticism just some thoughts

Rectangle to be red, black and grey stripe in keeping with Corporate branding?
More defined/stronger image of the front end, enough detail to see the sqiggle of a quattro grille badge?
Font is spot on.

I'd put it as is on my car.

Took me bloody ages to get that font right

Not sure that it would work inside the Audi rings, but will give it a go. Think that trying to get A8, S8 O & C would be too much

Thanks for the comment Bill

The rectangle reflects the S-Line branding, and hopefully does that well. Not sure how I could get in the full corporate colours
