I like these

but in total contrast aesthetically I also like these

although the bolts [s]are[/s] look too close to the edge to my eye.

Checking in. Always loved the IF badge. Bet there are more beauties to follow

I think the really old ones from decades ago are the most interesting, of the modern ones I'm biased but

Nice ! Is that a Jen Green creation?

Me? [img] [/img]

BTR inspired by Soulcraft?

Nice, but of course you're all wrong...

Intense has it so far.......

[img] :large[/img]

my favourite

I'm currently looking into replacing my old Lemond headtube badge. Who made that Stormtrooper/Intense one stevied? I was going to have a direct replacement made but quite like that. G

Jenn green

The Jones scores well on the 'wings, flames, wheels, mountains, pick many' rule of headbadges.

Shame Syncros didn't get into bikes, always liked this classic badge

GT did wings best

and while looking for that GT, this car came up, pretty cool too

I'd imagine he did.

Any chance of a 'From the Sticks' one for the hardtail Steve?

Black sheep

[img] [/img]

or oddity cycles
[img] [/img]

or moonmen

[img] [/img]

pretty much all Jenn green i think

[img] [/img]

Sanderson is nice

I did indeed 🙂

What sort of thing are you thinking of James?

Swarf and field cycles are pretty hot on their head tube badge game.

Soma is lovely. I do like the Stanton as well.

Modern: Black Sheep bikes/Jenn Greene and also GT wings are my favourites.
Traditional: Raleigh Heron

As it's Singletrack, I like the one I've got 😉

I really like the singular badges,

[img] [/img]

taking my jones hat (helmet?) of, i really like the oddity head badge.

At risk of getting all fanboi-y

Chromag:

The top one is a full-on grille rather than a headbadge 😀

That Moon men one.... it's has a Unicorn.

IT Wins 🙂

Like the Stormtrooper one.

Always liked the Raleigh badge.

It's all about the feeling and memory they evoke, innit? Very rarely do people pick what they think is nice, just for it being a good piece of art.

So in that spirit.

Old

(decal, more than a badge I guess)

New

But as I've had 2 of these, I also have a soft spot:

I really like the chromag michael jackson crotch grabbing bear dude.

The Jones one is getting my vote, Yeti second and Singular third, however, while not really a badge i kind of like the head tube picture that Elephant cycles uses.

You can just about make it out on this pic.

As it's Singletrack, I like the one I've got

Oh, that is nice...

I always liked these.

Or in metal.

Hey tallman, which brand is that? Looks nice...

Always liked the Raleigh badge.

Ohhh, Raleigh?.... 😉

Ooh, that metal Kona one would look sweet on my old PhD.
