Mini Marques

Ad agency shows us what car logos looked like as babies. Why?...

---

This has to be the best one...

At last the answer to the question that no-one dared ask. What would the logos of sportscar manufacturers have looked like when they were babies?

For those that have had sleepless nights thinking about it here you have them.

The logos have apparently been put together by a Brazilian as agency called Denstu, who were working with die-cast scale model company Minichamps.

Totally pointless but pretty cute all the same – we just don’t get the Maserati dinner fork one. Oh, hang on a minute…

Yep, the jags the best one. I wonder if some people will actually change it on their own jag?

Perhaps Jag could use that kitten mascot to attract a younger audience

The ferrari one could go on one of those body kitted mr2's

[OperationAlfa]

I could see wags wanting these on their cars.

sorry to say this...but I do not understand why you don't get why they have done this. I think it is quite clever, and connotes very well to the minichamp name. who knows what the brief was, but obviously suits well to the minichamp name and product line

Years ago my Dad was going to put something similar on his Triumph Stag, but when he looked into it, it turned out it was a little dear.

Fetch your coat

I guess baby Aston has some competition now!

[jmatras]

Then I guess a Dodge Ram would be a lamb, the Chevrolet "bowtie" would be a baby bib, the tidy script on the Ford logo would be a five-year old's hand printing. Any marque that uses a letter as a logo (e.g., Honda) would be in lower case.

The arrow on Volvo's logo would be smaller (think about it...OK, the circle with an a arrow is actually the old alchemist's symbol for iron, but it's also the symbol for "male", so...).

Saab could have, depending on which logo chosen, a head-on silhouette of a bi-plane, or in the tradional Saab-Scania logo, a kitten burping a little puff of smoke.

Mercedes would have a two-pointed star (?) and Audi would be down to two rings and BMW would have a circle split in half with blue on one side and white on the other...

[GolfGT_Girl]

what about the other ones?

[ar 145]

Wonder what the alfa logo will look like???

[VladD]

Rover would be a small rowing boat.

Cue jokes about sinking etc.

[jpalmer]

My wife would take the Jag kitten... her's is an S and she collects those crystal cats for a hobby. Made in heaven, eh?

Audi: 4 teething rings?
BMW: Prop with a rubber band?

Weismann wouldn't know anything...
