Default FPG Logo

Is this logo familiar to anyone here?



Is it still used?

May have seen one of the workers wearing one on shirt but I could be way off and just guessing but could it stand for Ford Proving Ground?

Yep Ford Proving Ground. It's not an official thing though I don't think. Just something one of the guys came up with.

Here's one of my work hoodies.

possibly based on the Roo crash test dummies but obviously taking the p out of the FPV logo

Yep, seems as tho it's for the proving ground.

So, seems there's a few variations of the same logo around? The logo you have does not have the FPG letters across it.

Ah righto. I had assumed the roo was paying homage to the Super Roo.

So, it's not an 'official' logo but is available for Ford workers to use on clothing?

It's a take on the super roo, combined with the FPV logo. And I don't think it's an official logo, just something someone put together.

My assumption is the roo is used because there are a heap of them inside the PG. And outside. Bloody things forever bouncing off cars on the durability loop, and the roads outside.
