TTAC Logo Submissions Pt. 6

by Robert Farago

Published: January 21st, 2009

And here they are: the final group of TTAC logos submitted by our Best and Brightest for our mutual consideration. The contest, such as it is, is now closed. The next step: we’ll choose our top ten and put them to a popular vote. Although we reserve the right to overturn democracy, the chances are excellent we won’t. There are a number of entries that are significantly better than what we have now. Which is nothing, but you know what I mean. After the selection process, we’ll offer readers the chance to buy the logo from car tatts. We’ll also put together some unique merchandise, like a branded rescue knife. Meanwhile, once again, I thank everyone who sent us a logo. I appreciate your time, dedication and passion. [NB: Please click on images twice to defeat the WordPress compression algorithm method.]

I'm definitely voting for #3. The black and red colors go well with the current website. The font really looks sharp and fits the automotive mentality and the gauge icon really speaks to me as a car guy. I also like how they put it on the escalade as a sticker so we could see it in context. good job.

@like.a.kite Yes, but did you click the link? I presume not, which is fine. Personally, I am not satisfied with even the readability of most of the entries. I think trying to integrate the words "the truth about cars" is difficult and the letters "TTAC" even more so. Also, While TTAC is an abbreviation used on the site it is not part of the "the truth about cars" brand. At least not currently. Sorry if this comes across as harsh or mean against those who took time to submit entries. The criticism isn't personal, its about branding the truth about cars in the way that will attract and retain the most online visitors.

Rochester I'd rather have a slow-as-mud Plymouth Prowler than this thing. At least the Prowler looked cool.
Kcflyer Don't understand the appeal of this engine combo at all.
Dave M. This and the HHR were GM's "retro" failures. Not sure what they were smoking....
Kcflyer Sorry to see it go. The interior design and color options in particular are rare in the industry
