Who Has the Best Watch Company Logo

There are some pretty cool Logos out there representing the various Watch Brands & Companies. Rolex, Omega, Tissot, Breitling, Tag, etc...

Which one do you like the best?

Personally speaking, I like the 'omega' (Omega), the discontinued 'tuning fork' (Bulova) and perhaps most of all, the Patek Philippe logo (which to me is elegant and tasteful).

As far as the Rolex 'crown', it's OK but I kind of wish that Hallmark Cards didn't have a similar design.

Have you noticed that Seiko/Citizen (amongst a few others) don't have a brand logo?

^^^ Agree with BC.

Logo-wise I like the Omega.

Big fan of Omega's use of their logo on the crystal.

I've always like the Patek logo as being tasteful and elegant. It retains it's elegance when engraved on the rotors/movements. Classic.

Honorable mention to Breitling. Sure, it's similar to Bentley but sure looks good on watches.

The Rolex crown? I like it if only for it's somewhat understated appeal. It too is classic.

Patek is classy, Omega is cool, but must say I dig the crown.

Rolex, Tudor and Omega for me.

The Rolex logo is epic though, no doubt.

Patek for the logo itself. But I do love the way Vacheron incorporates the maltese cross through their watches and bracelets.

I don't like any logo on the dial. Patek does it right by putting only the name of the manufacturer.

On the dial there is no need for a Greek letter, shield, crown, star, etc. On promotional materials or packaging it doesn't bother me.

i will go with Rolex. Not because I own one of their watches, just because the logo make me feel "royal" when I have my watch on me.
Some days when I'm having a bad morning with business and everything I drive to work and on the stop light I look at the crown at the bottom of the clasp and just think how proud I am for working hard and achieving enough economical success to be able to have that crown on me.

I like logos that relate to a company's horological developments, such as the Bulova tuning fork or Eterna's five bearings. Otherwise, the Tudor rose for historical significance.

Don't care much for the brand but the Breitling logo is appealing to me.
