Logos come and logos go..indifferent to them all tbh....but what I do spend a lot on in their shops is the most excellent (to our palate) litres of Grand Solage Calvados..Almost an out of body experience and worth every penny 😁😋 Edited November 20, 2018 by Paully 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Put the rest on Ebay. Once the new ones enter circulation you might make penny or two. Vintage is big business nowadays. Ed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jonno Report post Posted November 20, 2018 Reminds me of an energy provider logo or an air freshener, add a dash of yellow and it could be something new from google and a bit too Stena line and their green waves rather than Brittany Ferries, at least with I.F you get a good slab of emerald green allowing for identification from a bit of a distance... For me the older liveries set them apart, this non descriptive corporate look just makes them a face in the crowd. Disappointing. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crechbleiz Report post Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) I'm too young to remember or have seen it but I quite like the original logo they had on Armorique the first. I don't know when this logo was dropped. https://www.faktaomfartyg.se/armorique_1972_b_5.htm Edited November 20, 2018 by crechbleiz 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gareth Report post Posted November 20, 2018 They look a little bit like the funnels of Armorique (I)! (Blue the port funnel and orange the starboard funnel) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
