Dead & (Soon) Gone.

What was I just recently saying?  Well, in the past few weeks since this further update, the visual confirmation has been steadily reconfirming itself.  One example:  The ELR commercial that played countless times during the Olympics– a well-cast and even better-scripted spot which I very much appreciate, by the way.

So be it.  Cadillac has made its decision.  The insignia’s wreath is dead and will soon be gone– via a slow fade into history like so much else of the original emblem.  And who knows, this newest look might just grow on me yet– and that’s really a maybe.  Meanwhile, I still miss those long-lost ducks.

The Naked Sight of It…

Something’s missing, so I thought upon sight of one of the newest TV commercials— it just looks naked.  Then upon personal investigation, I quickly assured myself that my sight is well intact.

Cadillac emblem history

Cadillac appears to be ushering in another change to its iconic and history-steeped emblem.  Notice, the ad tags we’re now seeing show no wreath surrounding the coat of arms.  I spotted this nakedness right away– and not to my delight.  Apparently some call the discarded element outdated– old-fashioned– obsolete.  Well, call me a traditionalist here.  As the wreath gives way to a so-called “cutting-edge” image, I’m sorry to see it go.

Take a good look at the above prominent logo, and picture it sans wreath.  A naked sight, no?
