Identifying Car Manufacturer From Emblem Description

idiocious · 21 Nov 2011 at 20:13

My girlfriend was wandering around the city centre today and saw a car that she liked. She described the emblem to me as a "silver shield with a trident and stars inside". I don't know of any emblem of that description and my Googling skills have failed me.

Does anyone here know the manufacturer?

maserati?

Maserait?

The only badge I know with a trident is a Maser, but there aren't any stars.

This is what first came to mind. I guess the Maybach logo kinda fills that description as well.

Bah, this was meant to be a quick reply to R420, but I had to upload it

Some strange Maserati/Subaru hybrid?

Koenigsegg probably!

Edit: then again it's not silver

Maserubaru.

Subaru.

or not.

Can you not just show her the Maser badge and see if thats the one?

idiocious · 21 Nov 2011 at 20:40

When she had mentioned a trident I showed her the Maserati emblem but she said that wasn't it.

If it's definitely not a Maserati then the only other two I can think of that might look vaguely like tridents on a quick glance are Toyota and Daewoo - both simply because they've got a central stem ending in three branches but it's a stretch to see that although they do tend to be sliver badges. Neither have stars in the badge but then again apart from Subaru I'm struggling to think of a car manufacturers emblem that does.

She was run over by a Maserati, the stars weren't really there.

Dogbreath · 21 Nov 2011 at 21:37

Stars and a Trident, but I don't suppose for a moment this is the correct answer. Englon are a super budget Chinese car manufacturer, so chances of them making something good looking are somewhere between slim and none.

And slim's out of town.

Make her draw it

Burned_Alive · 21 Nov 2011 at 23:36

MAKE HER!

Tell her she should be more interested in washing machines, iron and cooker manufacturers than cars.

Was it a car she liked, as in a Beetle etc, or a supercar..
