G&J Logo — Circular Variants

Side-by-side comparison of the current rectangular badge vs. five circular options. Pick the one you like, I'll roll it out everywhere.

Current — Variant 0

Rectangular (live now)

G&J Auto RepairElk Grove, CA

The badge currently live on gandjautorepair.com. Bold M-Sport rectangle with edge-to-edge tricolor stripe.

Variant A

Pure Circle

G&J Auto RepairElk Grove, CA

Cleanest interpretation: BMW roundel-shaped circle, BMW M tricolor lives only in the letters. Minimal, premium.

Variant B

Circle + Smile Arc

G&J Auto RepairElk Grove, CA

Circle with the BMW M tricolor stripe at the bottom — clipped by the circle into a curved "smile" arc. Carries the M-Sport DNA into a round form.

Variant C

BMW Roundel Adaptation

G&J Auto RepairElk Grove, CA

Most "BMW-like": outer ring with curved text reading "G&J AUTO REPAIR · ELK GROVE CA," inner circle with the colored letters. Strongest brand-association but text gets tiny at small sizes.

Variant D

Tricolor Ring Border

G&J Auto RepairElk Grove, CA

BMW M tricolor as a thirds-divided ring around the outside (like a Mercedes/Audi badge style), inner black circle with the colored letters. Very flag-forward.

Variant E

Circle + Underline Arc

G&J Auto RepairElk Grove, CA

Subtle: clean black circle with a thin curved tricolor underline beneath the letters. The lightest M-reference of the bunch.

Honest take: circles are softer and less "automotive-aggressive" than the current rectangle. Variant B (Smile Arc) keeps the M-Sport identity strongest in a round form. Variant C (BMW Roundel) is the most BMW-overt but pushes into homage territory. Variant A is cleanest at small sizes (favicon, mobile). Tell me which one and I'll deploy it everywhere.
