S2 badge versions?

I have a feeling that I've seen 2 or even 3 different versions of S2 badges. Can a few of you owners post a couple of pics of yours, or point me to a site that has some clear pics please.
I want the one with the 'S2' on the same line, and in the sleeker script rather than the chunkier version which I'm pretty sure I've seen.
Thanks
 

Here's mine, but it's wrong. The S2 should be on the line below and offset as they normally are.

Should be like this (2 below S and offset halfway under S)

Only one size script, thicker script was the earlier 944 lux and S.

Thanks guys. I think that there must have been some 'artistic licence' in some that I've seen. It would appear that you can buy them and put the '2' either underneath as shown in 'correct' formation or in one line as shown on Paul's. I'm 99% sure I've seen a combo of Chunky 944 with the sleeker S2 on a car as well.
 
This subject has come up before with various suggestions as to the 'correct positioning' of the S2 part.
On my old 1990 car, the S2 was below the 944 with the S lining up with the last 4, if that makes sense.
It was originally a Porsche Cars GB car and I had a publicity picture showing the car on the day of its arrival with the badging in that position. The car never had any paintwork done to it up to me selling so the S2 was still obviously in the original position.
Nick Fearn's S2 was also a Poscrche Cars GB one, and was the same age and colour, but I cannot remember opositioning of his badges. Are you there Nick?
Clearly there cannot be a correct position.

I'm with Copperman and have always believed the 'correct' badging is with the 2 below and offset to the S. That's the way the Porsche brochures show it and that's the way the majority of cars I've seen at events have had it. I've always believed any others have had replacement badges for whatever reason at some point.

It may be shocking for many owners of new cars but an awful lot of them get painted even before delivery - those transporters are not immune from causing the odd scuff here and there [;)]. It only takes a junior member of the paintshop to stick a badge in the 'wrong' place

 
Well, according to the original brochure when the S2 was released.......

The answer is.......

Pictures of the S2 and cab have the badge deleted. [&:]
 
My Cab hasnt got a badge at all, I am guessing it came from the factory with one and that during the respray it didnt make it back on.
 
Mine is in the wrong place but I quite like it... 944 on top line, S2 immediately below, the S and the 2 looking like a mirror image.

as i understand it, the cabrio's were badge free as standard. might be wrong tho.
 
Should it not look like this?

... but in all seriousness, almost every S2 I've seen is like the one Copperman illustrates.
 
I'm surprised Oli hasn't been all on this already.

"Patrick, even if you stick an S2 badge to the rear of your 951 track car, you know, it won't make it an S2..."

Heheh....I have my own little plan. [:)]
btw, I already had a badge but in the house move I seemed to have lost it. So I tried to order another one from a German Ebay site and the guy was so rude and didn't read what I wrote and treated his customer (me) with disdain. No big deal but I shan't be buying or recommending this 'person' again. [:mad:]

Steer clear of this guy if you want any semblance of civility.
