Kinja'd!!!

I decided to go with a retro roundel style number for auto cross, and my supplier mocked up some possible examples. I keep coming back to the same one (and naturally my wife said she liked other ones), but I’m curious about Oppopinions.

I’d like to have a sweet poll like for NPoCP, but I’m not willing to create a polldaddy.com account just for this, so let me know your vote with a comment. Ignore the font for the class letters, that could be anything, just imagine the number in the circle stand-alone on the side of the car.

(And I’m using #5 because in the first races of the year no one locally seemed to be using that single digit number, which made tape application quicker. Later I realized that this is Speed Racer ’s number.)

I like the 5 in option D, but boy do I hate the letters. I’ll go L.

The top right is the nicest. What kind of car is this going on?

It’s going on a Golf? (Trying to figure it out from previous post)

For a GTI I’d go with L, straight edged like the car.

Blue GTI. Matching the font with the car was not something that I felt was needed, but I asked for opinions, so, there we go.

I’d say L since you said it matches your cars emblem font. Personally I’d pick D.

Actually, I see this choice as independent of car style or car logo font. But others here are suggesting modern fonts for a modern car.
