Brembo if I'm running aftermarket wheels.
Lexus if I'm on stock wheels.

No F logo since it's already on the fenders.

Anyone who is truly knowledgeable about these cars know they come with Brembo brakes. For those that don't, does it really matter in the scheme of things?

Valid argument. I was leaning Brembo until I read yours.

I can make pretty decent sized banners. Let me know what you are looking for and I'll see what I can do.

I prefer the F logo, here's mine (bad pic I know), they are small, but in person it really flows well. Stole the idea from the GS-F.

I prefer the lexus badge to keep it OEM. Also because that's the only place where "LEXUS" is written in mine.

Older models have a Lexus badge on the back (I can't remember the year it went away). I do see how Brembo logos can be viewed as trendy though, but most of us that actively participate on these forums all see or read about stuff for our cars that looks kind of cool and think "I WANT".

The F logo on the other hand - with three F badges already, a few more on the inside and under the hood, some owners adding one to the grille, and, in my case at least, the forgestar wheels having a similar F center cap...that's a lot of Fs.

I actually liked the Lexus name and logo on the calipers, but after seeing what the GS F calipers look like with the F marquee on them, I really took to liking that as well, as the case with NorCalIS' calipers currently. It would've looked really nice in the USB paint code that really distinguished the F performance line from the F-sport...except Lexus decided to throw in the F-sport calipers as a similar shade of blue. Orange calipers with the F logo might not be a bad idea if one wants to change things up and give some color to the wheel wells.
