Flag logo has been around since about 2014, There has been a previous "flag" like logo for the "R" on MK1 LCR and MK2 LCR. But previously its just been a "Cupra" badge in lettering.
SEAT Sport have also used flags in the background.
I think however the current flag design would look terrible in the middle of a grille as a badge. Might as well of gone with a yellow shield with a black toro in it with some flag in background.
Cupra are heading towards electric cars so an "old" badge heritage badge wouldn't really fit their futuristic views.
I'm not a massive fan of the new badge but it works better with their electric approach than a heritage one would
My Mk3 Ibiza cupra had the flag logo on the center console, that was a 2000. Plus the cupra letters on the early cupra's had the flag at the end of the letters, this was on the dash and on the tailgate generally, which was different to the R's Cupra Flags.
Im not a fan of the new Cupra Logo, i don't really know why they need to split it to a seperate brand. I personally don't have an issue with it being a SEAT cupra.... A bit like a VW GTI...
