Question Which one looks better?

So I was thinking of this idea for my SC, which goes way against what any manufacturer does.
Btw this is not my SC.

Which one do you prefer?

I expected to hate #1, but it surprisingly doesn't look bad. If you didn't know the common convention of logo on the front, name on the back, you wouldn't guess anything is wrong about it. It actually fits the space better than just a logo does. Logo-less looks like something is obviously missing, IMO.

The second option looks the best, followed by the third option.

#2 is my vote (since my car is that way )
#1 is OEM look
#3 is just a big

ive actually seen someone put that "lexus" logo on the lip kit in the center & it didn't look bad.
(was a vinyl sticker)

#3. (original emblem) Nothing like the brand emblem in the right spot.

#2 (no emblem) is a close second but for me it's really just #3.

#1 (Lexus lettering) This adds too much to the front end. Too busy.

2 or 3, I HATE 1 lol.. Sorry.

When I get my trunk painted ill only have the Lexus OEM emblem in the middle of the trunk and on the nose, nothing else. I love clean and classy.

Voted for no emblem. It is how I went when I replaced the OEM '92 with a '97 style VIS bumper.

#3 followed by #2.

Shaved emblems are intentionally done to look cleaner but for some reason to me it makes the car look like it had collision damage repaired and the person who fixed it was too cheap to spend the extra $20-30 to put the emblem back.

#1 just looks wrong.

It's almost as bad as when people stick the Porsche "turbo" emblem on all sorts of cars like this:
