A popular modification is the de-badging of cars and more and more models are being released with less and less badging. There will come a time when a Ford will only be recognised as such because of the blue oval.
All true, conversely the badging on Holden and Fords are getting bigger and bigger. The badge on a Falcon today is the same size as what use to only be on a truck once. Its interesting to see what was big enough when they reintroduced the more traditional oval Ford badge on the XC Falcon and compare that with what the FG now carries.

Holdens badge on Commodore and Cruze is now so big, they might as well make it the bonnet pressing and be done with it.
