Default Which '08 Dyna Has The Best Badging? (In Your Opinion)

Okay, let's have a purely subjective conversation.

Of the '08 Dyna models, which one do you think has the best badging / tank emblems?

Why?

Which model has the worst?

Why?

How about we include the 07's and I'll say I like mine, just because:

Best: Fat Bob (yes, I may appear biased, but I'd honestly hand the win to another model if I felt their badging was better)
Why: It's the iconic HD logo and it's a raised emblem (not just a decal).
However: It's too small and indistinct from a distance, and the 'letter openers' are pointless.

Least Favorite: Superglide Custom
Why: Indistinct... it's just begging to be pulled off and replaced with something more striking.

No offense intended to FXDC riders. Just sharing my opinion.

Yeah but what about that cool leather (?) strip down the middle with the badge? I admit that the badge on the side of the tank isn't really the best but what the hell, it doesn't make the bike ride any slower or sloppier.

I think the best is the modified version of the FatBob. I don't really care for decals for one but that's just my personal opinion. I think the worst dyna badging is on the FXDC. I haven't cared for it on mine since I bought it. But, since that's the only thing I didn't like and it's fairly easily changed, I bought the bike. I'm on the lookout for a nice looking bar and shield type badge, similar to the Fatbob, to put on my bike.

Yeh, exactly like those. What does NOS mean - nostalgic? I can't tell what they are made of. Any idea?

Cool, I just found some just like it on a buy it now, cheaper than these but just like them. Bought them! So much for my resolution to stop modding my bike til spring... Although, I'll be in no big hurry to put them on.
