More use of the actual "Camaro" badge on a 5th gen?

I was thinking that maybe in the 5th gen, Chevy should place the actual Camaro badge in more places than just the front end of the car. Obviously keep it on the front end but then maybe place it back on the steering wheel instead of the bowtie or the word "Camaro" and maybe in the leather interior trim, have the badge embroidered into the headrests similar to the Mustang and Corvette.

The popularity of the Mustang and Corvette badges are legendary, those enthusiasts don't feel like they own just "a ford" or just "a chevy", they feel like they own a unique car. Maybe in the 5th gen, Chevy should use the Camaro badge a little more to give veteran and new Camaro owners that feeling of not just owning "a chevy" but owning a Camaro.

What do you guys think? Good idea or just plain dumb?

It's not dumb. 1 thing that the Third Gen did was put the word CAMARO on the grill which was nice, but, if you had to put a licence plate you couldn't see it at all. (But every1 knew and still knows what a Third Gen was/is anyway though) The thing is that on the exterior the word was nowhere else. (some base cars did have it though) I would rather that the 5th Gen put the word Camaro on the car somewhere in plain sight kinda like the 1st Gen, but definetly not like the 4th Gen in gigantic letters across the entire back panel of the car. The seat idea is cool, don't know if 4ths did it but many Thirds had it on the seat with the deluxe option 87-92.
