Not criticising but
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...

And I'll repeat, its NOT a criticism on the original, just pointing out something that didn't look right to me.

I agree- I think the single side on view looks better than the shadow lights + seat effect.

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

Wow, your eyes must be a long way apart to get a flat perspective like that. When I stand that close to the side of a locost, I can see both seats and
both headlights! Must have my eyes too close together

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
Time for a change!
