New logo looks great, but there was something bugging me about it.
Its a 2D side view, with perspective.
Two seats, one infront of the other, two headlamps, two roll bar stays.
So 10 seconds with good old MS Paint...
logo slight edit
And I'll repeat, its NOT a criticism on the original, just pointing out something that didn't look right to me.
Glad i wasn't the only one to spot that 
Bugged me a bit, or what about turning the car around slightly to make it 3d?
i think it needs flames
It's a Caterham too.
Thought this was Locost builders...

I agree- I think the single side on view looks better than the shadow lights + seat effect.
i like the flames!
i like your version better also, not sure about the flames though...
3D
or not
Don't mind really.....still better than the old one 
And who puts their rear view mirror INFRONT of their aeroscreen?

Can you tell its a slow day at work today?

actually, i like the current one just fine. if you stood side on to a 7, that is what you would see. similar to standing at the top of a tree lined
avenue and looking down. you dont just see one tree on either side, you see all the trees that run the length of said avenue. i believe its called
perspective? if you wanted a view of a 7 sliced in half your modified one would be right.
i say keep it as it is, nice work whoever designed it

The point is, if you saw 2 headlights or 2 seats. Then you would also see a bit of the nosecone or rear panel etc.. In that pic. its a mix between both
The logo is basically this image:
http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2008/bc/2008-Caterham-Seven-Superlight-R500-Side-1280x960.jpg
Modified into a two tone logo. It's therefore a Caterham.
Not sure who did the Photoshop though.
I was wondering why it didn't look right (apart from being a catering van) 
Glad someone pointed it out, so I don't have to think about it.
I hope Caterham aren't reading this. They'll be on to their copyright solicitors before you can say Ron Champion!

Splitting hairs here a little aren't we. I think it looks great as it is. It is a logo after all, not mean't to be a photographic image.
it would IMHO if the farthest front light was nearer the fornt of the car than the nearest one - to match the seat and roll bar
Either way its better than the last one, much more up to date
Yeah, can't imagine anyone would be that daft!

Wadders, no you fitted your aeroscreens BEHIND your mirror, there is a difference
who said it is 2 D? It is correct, see roll bar, seats headlamps etc.
see below.
sdie view
I am a vehicle designer by trade. I spend my working life doing 2D side on views of vehicles. The 3D software I use (SolidWorks) even has a
'perspective' button so you can add it to your model views. And maybe because of all this it looked a bit 'wrong' to me.
The fact some people have said it looks odd and others have said its perfect just shows that there is no right or wrong.
My 1st post was 'this is not a criticism, it just looks a bit 'odd' '. So I don't dislike it.
But my version with the flames is better.
