Why is Ford still putting the old pony, after such hoopla over the 2010 Pony, on the "2012" Boss? I know I have one more year of this on the 2013 Boss...cuz Ford won't fix it by then...BUT PLEASE FORD...No more mix matched Ponies on the 2014!!!!!!!!!

I wondered why they didn't change that emblem as well.

 

I agree. Time to go forward with one design and stick with it.

 

The Pony over the tri-bar is a classic mustang emblem. It makes perfect sense to use that emblem on the 2012 Boss as the car is supposed to be what the original Boss mustang attempted to do as well.

The overall design of the pony is still the same, just subtle differences.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but to me, it's an emblem and if I don't like it or want something different I can always do so on my own accord.

 

Why not give it a minor facelift like they did with the 2010 pony? It's not like the rest of the car hasn't been buffed since 1970.

I agree with TN. If they're going to buff the emblem, then change them all going forward to represent it. Don't half-*** it and only do one, then use the old one on other parts.

 

TN, I agree with you, but I think you're now flogging a dead horse

 

They changed the Tri-Bar design also...it's on the Faux Gas Cap!!!
The Design has changed enough to know it can't be mixmatched...
Press release from 2009:
Curious about what the 2010 Ford Mustang looks like? Its new pony badge offers a clue. Like the upcoming restyled Mustang, the new pony is more defined, more muscular and sure to catch the eye of Mustang enthusiasts.

“It’s just a faster-looking steed,” said George Saridakis, Design manager for the 2010 Mustang.

A stronger, more dynamic pony badge with defined edges and crisper forms in a subtly toned tinted-chrome finish will charge across the grilles of the V-6 and GT versions of the 2010 Mustang. For the first time, a black-chrome version of the Mustang pony badge will accent the new GT grille.

“We wanted to give the Mustang pony a more realistic feel,” said Douglas Gaffka, chief designer for the 2010 Mustang. “We lifted the head to make the pony more proud, tipped the neck into the wind to give it a feeling of greater speed and better balance.

“It’s more chiseled and more defined and looks more like a wild horse,” Gaffka added. “It’s more realistic in terms of proportion to an actual Mustang.”

 

Why in the heck would you put a Pony emblem on your Honda?!

Dude... whatever...

 

The other day I added that to the list of things we want in the 2014 redesign thread. I hate that the emblems aren't all the same.

 

I think topnotch has been staring at mustangs for way too long....back slowly away from your computer!

 

How about the emblems on the wheel center caps?

 

I'd be happier than a <can't say that out loud> if I could find a rear badge that reads 5.0

 

I didn't buy my Mustang to look at the pony. Ford wasted alot of money and time in the new pony. They even had to change the color for the 2011 GT's. If you ask me there were just a bunch stylists with nothing to do.

 

I just had to go look.... My '11 GT/CS uses the old on the wheels and the grill, the new on the horn button and the faux gas cap....odd.

 

OP, I'm not sure what you mean. The mane on your tri-bar pic is different from either the 09 or the 10 according to your pics. It turns up slightly at the end - the others don't - unless that's a reflection.

 

I can't bring myself to care about this. I have my own set of pet peeves, and this issue isn't about to make it onto the list.

 

I don't personally see what the problem is, lol. It's just an emblem..

Ford changes the look/style of the rims almost yearly as well. Are you going to tell them they need to pick one design, and stick with it?

 

jeeze...

 

You guys don't know what it's like to have OCD tendencies...fortunately I'm not that bad and forget about my pet peeves sometimes.

 

What TN was trying to get at, simply, is that they gave the logo a makeover for 2010, but didn't roll it out to all the emblems on the vehicle. It'd be nice to see the subtle change on all of the badges.
