Let me get this straight... You are swapping out parts designed by hundreds of engineers that get paid thousands of dollars for something you bought at Pep Boys because your buddy who doesn't have a job told you it was 'better'?!?

The logo is a representation of an air screw with the sky in the background.
explodes.
Yeah...no. That story came from an advertisement. The logo predates that ad. If you watch the video, the air screw thing shows up at 1:57 and dates from 1929.Originally Posted by 1gr8e39
Not so much a signature as a cry for help.
Hold on, saw this in a cartoon once...think I can pull it off.

The movie Finding Forrester is what made the propeller story famous IMO.

Every big organization has a symbolic logo. But many of them have a lot of similarities as to what they "truly" symbolize. It's homage to something else. Or is it?? Maha ha
