Icon5 Which contemporary logo do you prefer? Crown or Shield???

pretty simple Q.

I actually like the modern Tudor shield over the modern Rolex crown.

The rose never did anything for me.

I thought I was the only one who felt that way. The Tudor shield logo also reminds me of my favorite place to go with my family.

The Coronet is timeless, iconic and steadfast.

Tudor’s diluted the rose icon. The rose could have been on the shield to at least keep faith with a heritage.

The Rose and the Shield were both there originally (mid 1940s) so both have equal claim to heritage

I like the rose. Crown is a little cheesy and shield feels too militaristic.
