The Maker's Name-Close up Original Photos only.
I have a picture, but not a thread for it. Not necessarily an A to Z but I may try and play that game myself.
What it needs is original close ups of the badges bearing the makers name. Its a collection, duplicates and variations encouraged. At the very least I would expect the assembled throng of the french car forum, to weigh in with a bit of Citroen, Peugeot, and Renault badges in close up, in all their variations.
Starter for 10, and few better places to start... and few will spot one of these and get the camera out, so I'll give myself 50 points for an unusual spot Have a whizz over here to see it in its full glory

Re: The Maker's Name-Close up Originals only.
Fails my desired "originals only" test Steve, but c'est la vie! I'm sure you can supply a "Honda", but as ever in the Falcon playbook, participation wins over pedantry any day of the week

Re: The Maker's Name-Close up Originals only.
To disturb any notion of organisation, or alphabetical order in proceedings on the thread here's an original randomly onto "T"
but there are others Neil

Not sure where I would get a Honda one from Neil.
The Allard was an original inasmuch as it was the original Allard badge.

Re: The Maker's Name-Close up Originals only.
Strangely enough I can add the odd 'K'
And 2 more slightly harder to make out
I'll leave it at that....don't want to flood Pete
Notice the BX is still top the list but sadly gone

Re: The Maker's Name-Close up Originals only.
This thread thrives on floods, and bikes are very welcome, and more likely than not, inspired by your contribution, I may well roll out some originals of Velocette's finest.
Meantime from the same stable literally, ie the bloke who owns the DelaHaye owns this too...The Golden Chevrons photographed on my impromptu little tour.

A couple in the pub car park!!
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Yes that's the spirit! Well done Mick Jim and Steve! The Honda badge makes for a nice colourful picture.

Re: The Maker's Name-Close up Original Photos only.
Bit of a recap to post 1. Dont think I can easily find an AD016 with a red badge like this as standard although I thought it was nothing particularly unusual for the car. Maybe its a bit like the Blue AA badge I posted here, no other anywhere on the internet has you thinking there has been a bit of DIY enhancement going on. Some of the old Austin light commercials had a red Austin makers name, but did the AD016 in any of its forms.
If the rare sighting passed you by, of the so rare its almost extinct Blue AA badge, its here

An older style one...
A loose one I have in my spares stash... Hence the wood effect!
