    It does look dated (if it dates back to the original kitfox, it is older than me by a couple years). I guess it is a matter of personal taste though. The logo on a piper cub looks dated as well, but no one would question putting that on a brand new cub.

    Totally agree, and this is where personal taste definately comes in to play. I myself like the Cub logo. Don't know why but it works better for me than the kitfox logo.

    I've got a good buddy that has the tools on his computer to put some color to the "new" logo. Just got done talking with him. Red eyes, black nose, red and/or yellow letters, red and/or yellow rings with either black or white background. I'll show you what he comes up with.

    I just love this little plane. Since I bought it in January I've been focusing on the power train, as it were. Now I am getting closer to being done with that and can work on the fit and finish. Seats, instrument panel, floor, paint and rear cargo area and buffing the windshield/windows will go a LONG way to getting her looking like the foxy lady she is.

    rdooley,
    I don't really like the logo either. In fact, before I bought my Kitfox I thought the logo looked a little, well, "toyish". But I sure do love the plane. I've thought several times about some nose art but haven't done any yet. I like your drawing. I think it would look better if Kitfox was one word on one line.

    Looks like it's straight from 1977. No offense intended.
    Actually right out of 1984.

    I kind of like your rendition.

    I like the vintage logo still although it is something that has a harder time finding it's way onto the sleek , sexy aircraft that are being built now and that are coming out of the Kitfox Aircraft factory.

    I too resist the splitting of the Kitfox name into Kit Fox but hey, they're your seats.

    I've been looking for a mascot to use on my "mangy fox" project. You're giving me pause to think of a more aggressive rather than lovable scamp type of portrate.

    I like it. I agree Kitfox should be one word, but I like it a lot, none the less...

    The lettering can be one line, very easily.

    How does this look?
