Which firearms company logo do you like the best?

Which firearms company logo do you like the best? I'm personally very fond of
Ruger's phoenix logo.



And I personally think that CZ's logo is rather lame. They make great guns,
but deforming the letters C and Z into the shape of a pistol didn't quite work.
I know it's supposed to be C and Z inside a rifled barrel, but it just doesn't work.



To avoid any misunderstanding, I would like to state that I own both a CZ and a Ruger.

Cheers,

Jae

My first post vanished. Anyone know why?

Cobra.
Too bad they don't put it on their guns.

I've always liked the Sturm-Ruger Phoenix logo.

The Springfield logo is cool, but very misleading at the same time. They hardly carry the legacy of the real Springfield Armory of fame.

Ruger, Colt, Savage and Springfield are the 4 most notiable logos that I can think of. Out of those 4, I like the Springfield logo the best.

Ruger Phoenix is sharp. Gold, Red, and Black

My lady has a Tattoo on her lower back that is very similiar to the Ruger Phoenix that she had done before we met. I don't really know what it is supposed to be though because it has wings and a tail but lacks a head

My personal favorite is the DPMS Panther logo. (sidebar: my wife and I both shoot competitively and have identical custom built .223 AR-15s with DPMS/Panther lower recievers. The only difference in the rifles is the DPMS logo, seriel numbers and the Panther logo on mine is inlaid with royal blue acrylic, and hers is inlaid with pink. If I can ever figure out how to successfully upload images to this site, I will post a pic of the two.)

I would have to say my favorite is Ruger's Eagle!! Just kewl as hell. And those are my initials too.



But why would the ever sought after Llama have such a plain logo?

They could do SO much better with such a majestic animal. Just look at this fine specimen! The beast that strikes fear in all it should encounter!!!



I think they should adopt this logo. Not sure who is goofier looking.... the dude or the Llama!??!?!?!?

Point taken, but didn't they buy it fair and square? Or had it fallen into desuetude and the present owners snatched it up? I do love the graphic, redolent of U.S. arms history as it is.

Winchester is tops, too.

What, no one likes S&W?

I like Smith & Wesson logo. It's understated and classy.
