How many logos does a bike need?

[Cornwallis]

Whilst I've not popped out to the garage to check, unless I'm mistaken my 2006 GS has two 1200GS logos, one one either side of the tank. I know that it's a GS but the branding on the tank's there just to remind me in case I forget and to inform the less enlightened. And from what I can remember of the GSA, it's the same. My vario panniers have their own logos but I figure that they're to make me feel special when I check-in to a hotel.

Having seen Mark Hooton's posting of 18 January for "Triple Black Sump Guard for GSA image for Sgt Bilco", the products featured took the GS logo count from a modest two to seven and placed the extras in the strangest of places.

I know, it's a free(ish) country and we can all do what we like with the things we own, but is it good/right/decent to be blinging the GS/GSA with a mass of logos?

For the record, I say a big no as a mark of respect to the BMW design team that agonised over the positioning of the modest two.

Imaging, Have you counted how many are visible on your clothing, thats where they get you. Obviously you don't have their gear but you know what mean.

I'd rather have GS or BMW all over my bike than over priced stuff with TT all dripping all over it.

Anyway, I thought this was the technical side of the 1200 forum, where folks discuss clever stuff

Actually sometimes yes sometimes no - kinda all depends on client attitude and how much time I actually have! Mostly not unless its a difficult one to do

In 1929, Dixi was the first automobile to hold the reputed BMW logo. Although, the BMW logo has been altered quite infrequently but it still grips the elegance and eloquent attributes of the original identity.
