I've been looking for an old / retro logo of any brand really to paint on my t25 panel.  I like the way it looks now but the sides are a bit 'bold' so I'm looking for something nice for the side panels... Any of you got an idea on what brands have had cool logo's in the past? thx! |

 couldn't help it sorry have a serious one:  In my opinion though you should find the logo to put on your van yourself. I realise this thread should be a good tool to inspire you, but I think it should be a personal decision. It's one you'll have to live with. Try going through google images looking at antique and retro logos, try and think of brands you have an affiliation with or that have played a part in your life. good luck dude ;D |

If you like the look you surely want to keep that color? Hm, guessing of companies that used such a light blue brings up one, which has unfortunately already been used for a vw bus: Linde. And I don´t think you want to copy that. So if I remember correct, adidas used a darker and brighter blue for their shoe boxes in the eighties, that would fit to the age of your bus - and also to the shape. So how about making it look like a adidas shoe box? I would rather use that threa-leave-logo than the three stripes. Could result in something like this: btw. have you got any hobbies or brand preferences that could be expressed through your bus by making it a theme car or a company car look-alike? yep, I know the "linde" bus and indeed would be a bad idea to copy  and hell yeah I want to keep it in that color, it's just had a respray 2 months ago  and good idea for the adidas but not the kind of logo I'm looking for, a bit to recent since the brand is still around but thx for helping me think! |

With its geometric lines and simplicity I think I'd be tempted to follow that route with the logo?  |

If you like bikes & cars how about a retro bike logo or pretend it's a support van for a German racing team (not sure if Zakspeed is the right era though).  van and logos by Country Photo (UK), on Flickr Personally I like the middle row. Oh and I thought you looked a bit lonely sitting by yourself (err hang on...) |

co-op is a good call. my first thought was  I think they did a vacuum that colour in the 80s. |

btw, what does de CO OP stand for? Checked on google but found a lot of different things...
never heard of it really...
the zakspeed logo is really nice to, too bad they're a ford racing team...
not that I don't like ford's or anything, just don't have a "bond" with it or so...
