At least they are symmetrical.

Rover also tried this to revamp their dull range, looked absolutely awful

CLUB MAN

That's just appalling

[Olas]

Badges are the height of bad taste - blingy and self-important nonsense for show-offs.

Those who like the car know what it is, and those who don’t like it don’t care what it is.

CLUB MAN

I'd never spotted that before and now you've ruined it for me - dammit!

Also annoys me that the brakelights for the Clubman are in the lower light clusters!

[waynecyclist]

All the Skoda's have gone over to this type of badge style.

Everybody take a look at me
I've got street credibility.
I may not have a job but I have a good time
With the boys that I meet down on the line.

If you're a pub man
Or a club man
Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi
A white cool cat with a trilby hat
Maybe leather and studs is where you're at

Make the most of every day
Don't let hard times stand in your way
Give a wham give a bam but don't give a damn
Cos the benefit gang are gonna pay!

It dates back a long way so it's a retro American/60s style thang and featured on cars like the 1960s Cortinas, bonnet and boot.

Well, if it's good enough for Volvo

Seem to be taking inspiration from Seat who have been doing it for years.

Volvo has done so in 1962 allready!



Depends massively on the car, but in case of the two Volvo it looks great!

ETA

The first year or two, the C30 had the then normal Volvo badging.



When I bought one new in 2008, they spaced the lettering in honour of above P1800:

The Volvo looks hot. Other makes, less so. Not bad (with the exception of the Clubman) but not great

[Court_S]

Agree that it largely looks bobbins - I'd be whipping the badges off all of those pictured!

Everyone is doing this now, its the latest car trend by the seems of it. All Skodas now have S K O D A on the back, also new Astons, A S T O N M A R T I N. P O R S C H E too, everybody is in on it

[Filibuster]

Also an example where it looks spot on:

The Aston Martin one is also cruel.... Just Why ???! Such a beautiful badge, why the need to put on the lettering?? (I do realise, that you can order it without the lettering).

Porsche at least has been doing this at least since the glorious 2.7 RS in 1972



I guess they do it partially so people know what they are looking at. With todays car design everything looks so blatantly indifferent...
