Maybe it's a subtle statement from GM, moving the classically centered Bowtie to the right. They would rather file for bankruptcy than move it to the left. (Shh)

Back on topic: The fire the person thing is humour for those that can’t tell.
It’s the internet. With no winky face even sarcasm, let alone humor, is indistinguishable.

Oui, far left. Let's hope it was done to improve engine cooling, though Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks as if the bowtie were made to sit on a grille node that blocks air flow already.

I meant if you are looking at it from the outside, the way it appears in pictures.

People are worried about the person who put the emblem there when they should be wanting to beat the hell out of whoever designed the front end...................

IMO they could of molded the "flow tie" into the "Chevrolet background plastic" ...And maybe even enlarged it some, and made it into an OEM Ram-air intake snorkel while at it!!

Ok I thought the SS emblem placement on the rear of the GEN 6 Camaro was bad and not to mention the mistake of putting the Chevy bow tie time in a bad spot on the 2019 Camaro SS front bumper. Now this takes the cake, the 2021 Colorado pickup truck placement of the Chevy bow tie is so bad it’s laughable. The person that suggested this placement and the who ever approved the final draft should be fired IMO. Okay I am kidding about being fired but what a bad spot for it, you might as well stand in front of truck blindfolded and toss a dart for location of bow tie.
I think they should be fired for making a 4 door Pickup Truck, or at least not making a 2 door be available. Also should be fired for not having a manual trans avail.

In all honesty, though, it's only our perception, as we are so deeply accustomed to seeing the bowtie in the middle. The SS and ZL1 badges are in almost he exact same position on our cars, yet very few owners have any issue with them.

it's got Chevrolet in big writing _AND_ a logo right under that. How much advertising do you need to pay for in case anyone was confused who makes your truck?

it's gotta be acceptable to the market since that kind of stuff sells. Tackiness is not a factor.

I dont think removing it is the answer, it needs another bowtie on the other side. And i hope to god it has "COLORADO" in the windshield tint strip so you never forget what kind of truck you have or anyone else looking at it and confusing it with some other kind of truck.

Manual trans is the exception, not the norm for pickup trucks. Only 3 pickup trucks have them, and the Frontier one feels more like an afterthought and cost reduction option while Toyota and Jeep offer them as a way to please the enthusiasts.
