What are you going to use it for? If its for print/web use, I suggest refining the quality a bit and/or embossing it. The 3D look might be cool.

i am not a fan of all the silly badges people put on their cars. I for one thing the Scuderia shields on Ferrari's are terrible and a waste of $1800.
I say let people wonder
In Germany, most all cars are badgeless. So you dont know if your rolling up next to a E320 Merc or an E55 AMG. I like that, its always been that way there, why draw extra attention to yourself? And honestly, i think it is true, if you do stuff like that your in a way trying to compensate for something you feel is lacking. Thats not ALWAYS THE CASE, but often it is.
I like the understatement, and a shark shaped "SUPERCHARGED" has none of the right mojo going for it.

I like the design though not as some emblem on the car. Would be a cool avitar or magnet on my toolbox.

I think that's a cool emblem, but I also read "SUPERGHARGED" at first.
Whoa - not many people over here know about this!
One part is definitely "understatement" - it's noody's business, if you can afford the top of the line. But there is another important component: avoiding what's called "social envy".
Some people can't stand that others are more successful, better paid, or wealthier than them, and despise them for that. A small percentage would even go as far as damaging the car of the wealthy person to harm their wealth.
Business owners often don't want their employees to know (or at least not shove it in their face) what type of vehicle they can afford at times when they cut cost or jobs.
Another factor is environmental extremism - owners of the Porsche Cayenne and other high powered SUVs had their cars damaged because some wackos thought they'd stop the owners from polluting the environment.
This also explains the moderate popularity of the 928 in Germany - it was considered too far out there, too bold, big, heavy, and wasteful by some, and the car magazines fueled that fire.
