I had a little time off work today while watching my kids to install my Holden Diesel badges. This is how I decided to use them:

I placed one combination badge on the right of the trunk lid where the LT or LTZ emblems would be on other models. The combination badge seemed to match the size of the Cruze badge best, and since the Eco emblem is to the left, it has a nice symmetry with the other badge.

I contemplated both the plain Diesel badge and the combination badge for the engine cover. The combination badge would have needed to be in a location nearer the bottom of the cover, so I went with the plain badge to keep it near the Ecotec label.

While I was at it, I got an idea to make use of that separate eco logo that is meant to go with the plain Diesel badge. I remembered the early 2000s style of placing the GM badge on the front fender near the drivers door, and thought this logo looked just about right to use for a similar placement.
Unfortunately, the lighting wasn't great, and the car is seriously dirty, but this time of year in Iowa, it's the best I could do. Maybe I'll get some better photos in the spring when we have daylight again and I can wash the car without it freezing.
