Logos - Thematic Photography

Some logos are instantly recognised even when they are just a symbol.

Others don't really need the added words.

The prancing horse would have been enough for me like on an F1 racing car.

However some cars have become as iconic as their logo.

OK, then - what cars are these?

Another car related logo recognised word wide is this - 

However my best collection of logos are these on my office shelves.

And if I had to pick a favourite, this is the one it would be.

Perhaps Carmi should pick us a logo to represent the Thematic Photographic theme.

For other logos selected this week drive over to Thematic-photographic-288.

Cars - British Auto Legends - Sunday Stamps

The set of British Auto Legends issued on 13 August this year are just right for this week's car theme.

• Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 1965
• Aston Martin DB6 1963

Bottom row - £1.28

British Motor Cars - Sunday Stamps

As many people (not me) go out for a drive on Sundays I thought I would show cars for this week's open theme.

British Motor Cars FDC - 13 Oct 1982

I obtained this from a flea market stall in Stockton-on-Tees. There is no clue about who owned it, but it has been around a bit as Bolton, Bury and Wigan are the other side of the country from Stockton. You can also see from the Oxfam sticker that it has spent some time in a charity shop.

The cars are from left to right:

• An Austin Seven of the 1920s above an Austin Metro
• A Model T Ford  above Ford;s then new front wheel drive Escort
• A 1930s Jaguar SS100 above the iconic 1960s Jaguar XJ6
• The veteran Rolls Royce Silver Ghost and the luxurious Silver Spirit.

To see what others have chosen this week cross over to Viridian's Sunday-stamps-132.
