The old Yeti badge looks like a cool '70s counter cultural fanzine illustration.

The old Cotic ones looks like a naff rave flyer.

Old cotic looks better in metal with relief and no colour.

The badge is fine but the double sided tape that should hold it in place is a different matter.

I was pretty happy with the one I made for my old Intense:

Don’t like the new Cotic badge

Why have they chosen a doodle of a genie opening a dishwasher?

That is typical lyrical waxing about by-gone days :p

For me Yeti looks gash, childish and made-on-the-back-of-fag-packet.

But as mentioned, De gustibus...

Hand made in England, always the best 😀

Cheers!
I.

Indy Fab: good.

Sycip: even gooder?

It would appear I like head badges that include crowns...

I like the proper metal one from On One. An optional extra though...

Took a while, but what has now been seen can't be unseen!

Loving the Pact Weird Cat, Moots and Metal original Cotic ones. I’m still not sold on the paint by numbers genie, but it does look slightly better in colour. WTF are the rectangles on the right supposed to be?

Blocks of flats in Sheffield?

I like the Cotic badge looks a bit classier, and it is better in colour. I like the old one as well.
That Pact badge is ace!

My Pace RC303 had a nice Pewter headtube badge, it was definitely the highlight of that frame. I think it looked like this:

Pace headtube badge

I quite liked the ones Giant were doing a few years back, where their logo was cut into the headtube, rather than being a sticker or badge attached to the tube.

The Ragley one is close in shape and style to the head badges that Bianchi use. For me the Ragley one looks like it is trying too hard to project a history it doesn't really have.

You will have to Google the Bianchi badge as it's easier than trying to add a picture.

I like the Nicolai one. It says "we machine stuff out of aluminium because that's what we do"

That's my favourite so far, by quite some margin.

Much as I love their bikes, bad has to go to Genesis. Looks like something I’d knock off with a scalpel and a bit of sticky back plastic. 1/10 for effort (I can look past that though and love the bikes)
