;351005']Interesting. The BMW badge' date=' displaying aircraft heritage in color and black and white.[/quote']

 

That's what we all thought, that the BMW logo stood for the propellers against the skycolors of their warplanes....

 

 

...it's false. Look at Megafactories: BMW Z4. BMW admits that they gave the wrong explanation: after doing research, the blue/white circleparts are simply the link to their origins: the German state of Bavaria, where Munich is.

I believe that, but for sake of argument, couldn't it also imply the sky and the propellers? When you think of sky and propellers, you typically think of gray or black (or brown if its wood), with the blue of the skies behind them. Couldn't BMW have taken this and given it the Bavarian colors (which, as Google shows, features diamonds of color, not squares, when oriented vertically or horizontally)? Saying its simply the colors would help them get away from the "our planes bombed innocent people unnecessarily" thing.

 

Just putting it out there. I believe you, though. :)

I hate to get all 4Chan here but, pics or it didn't happen. This isn't aimed at any one person, just in general. People's actual spots get swamped out by text, I don't come here to read what you saw, I wanna see it too!

 

I don't mind what it is (within obvious reason) just photograph it, camera phone or anything, it doesn't have to be a work of art.

 

MOAR pics peeps!
