Patrick,
You bring up a good point here. Not only are the badges not really
relevant to the Spitfire car, but more importantly, if we use them we
might be treading on the personal emotions of people who either fought
with those units or have family members who were lost while fighting in
those units. That might have the effect of casting a negative image on
out fledgling club.
I think that we should have a simpler more unified and more car specific
logo that would reflect the true nature of the club.
Just MHO!
