Admittedly I don't know too much about PH. But I would just like to say, I don't like the symbol / logo? I'm not a great one for stickers, although it's something I vaguely consider from time to time. However, there is no way I'd put a PH sticker on my vehicle, it's just diabolical.

so, any plans to modify it, like ever? or is it sacrosanct?

I just think it is really awful eg



it's just not cool, you know what I mean?

Whilst you may not like it I'm sure there are other who do, if it's not to your liking then I would suggest you removed it.

Pistonheads wasn't started to be "cool"! My only gripe is I can't find an enameled metal version suitable for my badge bar.

I think it looks great. Clever design, simple yet easily recognisable.

No offence taken but what is there to think about? confused

It was designed for a competition run by Ted a good few years back and IIRC it was the winner.

So what would look 'cool' on a Nissan Note?

I think the design is quite clever in being composed of pistons and a head making it graphically legible. It also imitates a skull and crossbones, which references us individuals of like-mindedness sailing the seas that are our roads alone while being united in a distinct fraternity. The only thing I'd change would be the mouth and eyes on the face, just making them more like a traditional smiley.

I like the style of the 'smiley', it accurately portrays the look on my face everytime I jump into the TVR ---> biggrin

We'd be mad to ever change it. You might not like it, but we think it's just about perfect. Simple design, reflects the mindset beautifully, works in any number of colour combinations. Best of all it was done by a PHer, so it came from the members and not from us.

We're keeping it. Sorry about that OP...
