Where should the gecko emblem be placed on the car?
2 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the gecko emblem is usually placed on the rear of the car. If following Audi's official Quattro emblem as a reference, the gecko's head should face the upper right. However, most Chinese car owners mainly place it for good luck, so there's no need to be overly concerned about the exact placement. Here is some additional information: The origin of the gecko emblem: In fact, the gecko emblem originates from Audi's proud Quattro four-wheel-drive system. It is well known that geckos possess strong climbing abilities, which perfectly aligns with the image and status of Audi's Quattro system in the four-wheel-drive field for its powerful traction. Therefore, Audi directly adopted it as the logo for the Quattro system.
I've driven many cars and noticed that the gecko emblem is usually placed on the rear of the vehicle, such as the trunk lid or rear bumper. This is an exclusive identifier for Audi vehicles, representing their quattro all-wheel-drive system. Audi uses this small gecko badge to showcase the car's superior traction and off-road capabilities, especially on slippery surfaces. When driving an Audi, I always pay attention to that area because it's highly visible without compromising the car's clean appearance. Many Audi models like the A4 and Q5 feature this emblem, typically positioned centered and slightly lower. If you're an owner, be careful not to dislodge it during car washes as it's a brand symbol. The rear placement allows easy visual identification by others while driving, enhancing brand recognition. Simply put, don't look for it on the front or sides—focus on the tail end where it's most classic and practical, being both subtle and meaningful. I recommend regularly checking the emblem's condition to prevent detachment and maintain visual appeal.
