What do I think?

... I think I need to catch up to you ... I've only got about a dozen of those logos in my decal collection.

Also ... you missed a couple of my favorites:

I love those last two as well.

I did the HAMB logo, but Mark Simonson did the TJJ logo - he's an amazing letter guy.

Here is another iconic logo..

I have that same dream but in my dream it's women floating around

Ryan,
I was just admiring that "Spalding cams" sticker at my buddy Nacho's garage on one of his tool boxes the other day. Thanks for sharing all these, very fun vintage stuff to look at!
cheers,

That's a helluva collection. Look at the Edelbrock one that's next to the Howard Cams one. Looks like Rodney Dangerfield.

But, when I dream, I'm flying an F-16 over Iraq

Great topic Ryan! As a designer in today's world I always find myself gathering references from the early to mid 20th century. To me I think classic logos had more life...today with the computer things can get a bit too sterile sometimes.

Cool!

Ryan,

I think a poster would be killer...kinda like the "beercans-o-the-world" one!

Very nice. A Bakersfield-Smokers sticker!!

BigBlockMopar · 03-09-2009, 11:04 AM

Whenever I see these old logo's flash by in my daily stroll on the internet, I always grab them and save them to my 'Vintage Speed logos" folder.

czuch · 03-09-2009, 11:07 AM

Great thread. I have a fer that i "found" while going through my old junk and one is a Milodon decal where a hand is holding an engine,also an original water transfer OCIR. Cant get it on the computer. My engines have points, my wiper switch is on the dash and my hi-beam requires an foot movement. I'm stuck in real cars

Mumbles · 03-09-2009, 11:10 AM

Just sharing one of my favorites.

ThunderRoad Garage · 03-09-2009, 11:16 AM
