Badges and logos are supposed to be simple symbols or graphics that are meant to represent something else, and in the wonderful world of capitalism, brand recognition is important. Having an easily identifiable logo means consumers are subconsciously aware of a company’s presence. Last week, we asked you lot what cars have the coolest logos or badges, and you did not disappoint. From elaborate animals to single letters to celestial constellations, your answers ran the gamut. There were lots of great answers left in the comments, so if you’re a real logo freak, then I suggest you go back and check them out. These are the cars that the Jalopnik audience thinks have the coolest badges.
