Badge appreciation thread

[jessefive]

Is anyone else as excited about these little things as I am? I think the badges on the vehicles we've seen look so good. Especially the yellow details. Here are some recent pics from Renz.jpg and Lohdown on instagram:

Any other good ones out there?

One of the things that stood out to me years ago when I saw it at the LA auto show. Makes it look like much better quality than the crappy plastic badges on most cars.

Badges? We don’t need no stinkin badges!

im either gonna debadge the RIVIAN script on the tailgate, or replace all the Rs with Vs because “Vivian” is what autocompost thinks it should be. And “Vivian the Rivian” is only natural.

Why not just remove the "riv"? Ian the Rivian... ?

I usually like debadging, but these I'll be leaving these on for sure

The R1T badge will be coming off my tailgate immediately. All the rest look great.

Because cars, like ships, are ladies ?

Swap another V in place of the R. It works on multiple levels ?

I will be removing the R1T as well on the tailgate. I debadge all my vehicles but they look good except that tailgate R1T logo.

I think this is my favorite one:

Yeah, I love pretty much all of these except the R1T badge.

I debadge my cars too. Removed every badge off my Skyline and kept only the GTR logo on the boot.
I'll probably remove the Rivian badges on the side and R1T on the rear, but keep the bonnet badge.
Bit surprised they have a thick badge on the side that sticks out. Little things like that make a difference to aerodynamics. I'm sure they've tested it in a wind tunnel but I'd rather have smooth sides

How are badges like these generally attached? How do you remove them without hurting the finish?

It will look the best on White Imho with the contrast of white/gold/yellow. I'm glad I'm not the only fan of the badging.

Heat gun or hair drier and floss behind the emblem. Some are harder than others and always research if the badge has holding pins of so there are holes drilled in the body and it won’t look clean.
