    "Donkey on the Fender: Fun Badge or Ferrari Mimicry?"

    Here’s an alternate badge. (Maybe more appropriate since Lotus is connected to Volvo through Geely?) https://www.ebay.com/itm/256829802342 The backstory is here- scroll down to the yellow section. https://www.prancingmoose.com/index.html

    Icons for the site (Node Icons) -- is it blasphemy to change the Lotus logo blue?

    The yellow and green is not the current logo, which is yellow and black (no green). I'd either use the correct current yellow logo or the black and white version. Both available here. https://media.lotuscars.com/en/galleries/logos.html

    Forum logo shape?

    On the new faux chrome “EMIRA FORUM” logo, the text is sitting on a irregularly-shaped background- is that just a random and/or meaningless shape, or it a stylized version of something that I don’t recognise? .
