MRLancaster Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 After looking at several pics, and having one of my own, Im starting to think that the L7 is actually a fancy looking S possibly. Does anyone know for sure what it means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAC5.2 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 L is for Legacy. 7 is for the number of stars in the Pleadaies constellation (the english translation of Subaru is "seven sisters") [URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/proper-flip-key-interesti-159894.html"]Flip Key Development Thread[/URL] "Genius may have its limitations, but stupidity is not thus handicapped." - E.

MRLancaster Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 oooh ok! Thanks! However, i though Pleadaies was 6 stars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Funny that the actual Subaru badge has only 6 stars in it.... one large star for the larger parent company and 5 stars for the 5 smaller companies that joined up and formed Subaru (FHI).

Hanger Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It has also be interpreted as a upright "L" and a reverse "L" or "L"= Legacy "7"=7th generation ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRLancaster Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I still view it as an "S" For subaru. lol Like on the GTS Skylines, and the Silvias. ect ect. Just a fancy looking S. Who knows. 7th generation of what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanger Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 if you count the sedan/wagon from each generation, when you reach 05's gen, it'll be 7th ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRLancaster Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 But they had the L7 on the 2nd gens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TbirdMan Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 oooh ok! Thanks! However, i though Pleadaies was 6 stars? BAC5.2 is correct, Pleadaies has seven stars, Subaru fudged things a bit with their badge and only had six stars for the reason Gire mentioned. Is is entirely possible that the badge is ment to reference both that and to resemble an S, subaru has done that before, the 22b can be seen as a reference to the 2.2 engine as well as the fact that 22b in hexadecimal= 555, the tobacco brand that sponsored the SWRT in the early days.

E-Tank Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 All of you are wrong! The 7 in the L7 badge is just an upside down L. In JDM land the Impreza has an "i" badge, the Forester has an "F" badge, and the legacy has the stylized "L" badge (L7). There's really nothing else to it. It's just L for Legacy. They tried to make a good looking badge with a single L on it, but were unsuccessful, then the graphic designer played with two L's and created our badge. /thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joedirtae09 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I never knew there were so many theories to the origin of the L7 Badge! I get a lot of confused looks when people see the front end of my car, people have no idea its Subaru, I love it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verm Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 what is the meaning of the color of the badge? Because I've seen white, green, black, and burgundy and they don't seem to coordinate with the color schemes of the bd5/bg5's they were on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
