I know that the tree is the city logo for affalterbach the town AMG is located in.


AMG FAQ's

This will automatically be translated from German so some of the wording doesn't make sense but it's a decent site for AMG info.

It looks like a grill badge that you sometimes see on older Mercedes. These were simple badges that you'd attach to your grill to show membership in a club, country of origin, etc. I don't think it's a piece off of a production AMG. It could also be an aftermarket replacement flat badge for the hood ornament.

I have an AMG badge that I took off years ago and replaced with the "night" version shown further above.

IMO, the AMG logo is to busy to be mounted externally in a small area. Same with the wheel center caps. The traditional Mercedes badge looks much cleaner.

100% AGREE!!!!!!

I do not believe I have ever seen a brand new AMG Mercedes with this badge on it, I think it is always the Original Benz Star Logo.

Perhaps it is an Aftermarket item which peeps think is cool? I personally think of it as quite the opposite and don’t think it looks good at all.

BUT, ………. to each their own!
