At the February meeting of the Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club, members voted by an overwhelming majority to adopt a new club logo – a decision that reflects both strong unity and shared enthusiasm for the club’s future. We are proud to officially present this new logo to our members and the wider community. It stands as a fresh symbol of who we are as a club, while continuing to honour the history and passion that have always defined GLHAC.
The discussion surrounding the change showed just how much pride members take in the club’s identity. The new logo was embraced as a thoughtful evolution rather than a departure – a design that feels familiar, yet modern and forward-looking. The strength of the vote demonstrated clear confidence that the logo represents the spirit of the Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club: camaraderie, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for historic vehicles. It is a visual statement of unity and shared purpose.
Following that decision, members also voted – again by an equally overwhelming majority – to produce the new logo as a brass grille badge. This choice connects beautifully with the traditions of motoring heritage. A brass badge is not only durable and timeless, but also a mark of pride that members can display on their vehicles. It’s a fitting tribute to the classic automobiles we celebrate and preserve, and it ensures the logo becomes more than an image – it becomes a physical emblem of membership and belonging.
Production of the grille badge is moving ahead quickly, with orders already being placed and strong early interest from members. The prototype on display offers an exciting preview of the final product, showcasing the logo in a detailed, high-quality brass finish that captures both character and craftsmanship. Seeing the design brought to life in metal has only increased excitement, confirming that the badge will be a standout feature on any vehicle.
This new logo and grille badge mark an important milestone for the Great Lakes Historic Automobile Club. They represent a collective decision made with enthusiasm and confidence, and they signal a club that respects its roots while continuing to grow and evolve. We look forward to seeing the badges proudly displayed and the logo recognised throughout the community as a symbol of our shared passion for historic motoring.
