ok, how about not only showing what you think is the best but also describe WHY you like it.i'm a big fan of the MB's 3 pointed star because of its simplicity.
Good luck; we're all counting on you.

There's also this version of the Rolls Royce "Spirit of Ecstasy" that is fairly entertaining...

You know what an infinity symbol looks light right? It's kinda' like a sideways 8... nothing like the Infiniti brand logo

Seriously. 
I think VW and MB, both have the most recognisable logos in the world.
All fellow members of the Roman senate hear me. Shall we continue to build palace after palace for the rich? Or shall we aspire to a more noble purpose and build decent housing for the poor? How does the senate vote?Screw the poor!!!
