I'm working with GTR Lighting to get custom Fiero Logo LED Projectors made.
Have you seen these things yet?
Basically they have a 2-wire 12v hookup to turn them on and they are designed to be flush mounted on the bottom of your door so when you open it up you get a logo. Each kit comes with a left and a right projector and an accompanying hole saw. You can mount these about anywhere you want, but they're designed to go in the bottom of the door frame or door panel. Right now you can get all kinds of different logos but we can get custom ones made if we have a large enough order. I could do a group buy on the forum for about $45 each (normal price is about $80) but first we'd need to come up with a design.
Let's see it - which Fiero logo do you think would be the best to use in this product? The reason I ask is because you guys have come up with some really cool Fiero logos and thought you might be able to determine what the best logo to use would be. All opinions are welcome!

This one has already been released by the designer to be used by anyone. I had nose badges made like this. See them in my build thread link.

It would be cool if you mounted both up front. You could turn them on just before you get home and as you get closer to your garage door, the images blend together into one as you come to a stop. You have my interest in this project! Naturally, I'd prefer the side view Pegasus but the Pontiac Arrowhead would be my second choice.

Oslo, My order of preference would be as follows: . . Style #1: Traditional Logo: . . Style #2: Cliff's Modern Logo: . . Style #3: Modern Side-View Logo:
Its a nifty little idea, even if it is a little "Ricer" if you know what I mean. ~ Bob ~

I would be in for the original Fiero Logo. Of the other 31 Manufacturers logo's showin in the first post, all are original, and none are off shoots.
NOTHING personal against Cliff in any way, but I totally dislike #2. It was a matter of necessity to change the logo from the original, just enough, so that it could be used without being sued by GM, and it shows. A copy, with 90% of the detail lost.
#3 I THINK was done by InfinateWill? I am not positive, so please correct me if I am wrong. It is Ok, but I still like the original, style #1 [EDIT: This was NOT done by InfinateWill, see below post for more ]

I think you guys are right, we should just stick with the OEM logo. I think it would be good to do the Fiero logo instead of the Pontiac Arrowhead because it's more vehicle-specific and custom.
I'll make a group buy thread in the mall after a few more people chime in here with opinions.

Actually, that's not why I designed that logo. I used the original logo for 10 years and nobody ever sued me (or threatened to sue me). And I'm sure I would be fine if I would use it for another 10 years.
The Fiero is an old car, but people now modernize it in any way possible. I wanted a logo that reflected that. A logo that was more abstract/modern, but unmistakably the Fiero logo (just like a lot of the Fieros have been modernized but still unmistakably are Fieros).
I don't like the side view logos at all. Not only because I have some weird obsession with symmetry, but because if you would take away the word "Fiero", you wouldn't recognize it as a Fiero logo. The only similarity is that they are both Pegasuses.

Personally, I like all three logos, but I am against an arrowhead. I'm against Pontiac branding the car completely. Pontiac hasn't been responsible for the fiero for years now, all the mods, and work is "fan base" and with the amount of custom stuff people make theres a totally new car, probably atleast 10 of them. I'm all for fiero being its own brand not just a model.
Favorite designs would be Cliffs then the original. No offense to side shot.
Every time I see that logo I'm reminded the artist who created it ripped off members of this forum. Some people love it, but the association poisoned it for me. If it was me, I'd choose a factory style Fiero logo or Pontiac arrowhead.
