Best Badge...

[SmartAmg]

Which do you prefer, personally It's got to be the current one.

 

[belongabob]

The 1909 has a very period look to it. I like it.

BTW, the so-called '1926' is still in use today... my W204 has it on the bonnet (aka 'flat star') and wheel caps.

Love the current star.

The 1902 script is very elegant. Reminds me of the wonderful art deco French car manufacturers insignia's.

I prefer the current one. Have brought one to replace the flat badge but typical....the base is too small. That’ll teach me for buying from eBay

Current one for me too. Most modern, crisp & clean. Others seem tacky in comparison

 

[jotter22]

1926 for me too I am afraid.

That is only Mercedes , not Mercedes-Benz , since it does not incorporate the Benz Laurel Wreath ( which was a symbol of their racing victories , since the winning driver would have a Laurel Wreath placed over his head ) .

And the three pointed star , originally employed by Daimler, was symbolic of the use of Daimler engines on land , at sea and in the air , one leg of each star pointing to these three places in an early poster .
