Had some fun shooting the presspack for the new Supersport R a couple of weeks ago; figured you'd like to have a peek if you haven't seen them already!

Fabby. Really nice shots. And I don't mind the badge at all. Just makes the proper one a collector's item.

End of an area spelt loud and clear, I am sure the new organisation with global expansion plans will be successful but in this world of big Corporates small companies just seem to wither or get their brand just gets steam rollerd hopefully the 7 will survive but it looks like linking it to the past is not allowed.

I wouldn't get too upset about the badge;change happens. My first Seven had Lotus aping green and yellow , my second the dark grey job. In ten years time they'll be yet another colour.

Given how many manufacturers keep changing and updating their logo I think Caterham are quite entitled to change theirs given how long it's been!

I'll ask the guys at Caterham if they're OK with it, if so will post up next week (away on business trip from tomorrow)

Are you really suggestion that a square green badge with a diagonal stripe represents the round badge of the 7 that has been in existence for over 50 years! it is no longer about just being a 7 and its history, it is about a commercial interest re-branding. Next the 7 grill will be replaced with a C (damn I just gave the marketing/re-branding dept an idea!) Its not the Colour its the branding.

I dont care what the "brilliant" new cars are and what badge they have, but a 7 is a 7 is a 7 not a green square meaningless marketing stamp! It needs to be true to its history, change the font change the colour but don't change the essence of its DNA (they all talk proudly of Caterham DNA.).
