The logo for the Lambretta movement is a blue, white and red target, a symbol to identify Mod's in Britain. This came from popular band's during that time. Band artists would use nationalistic symbols such as the British RAF target for cover albums and fans would use these icons on tee shirts to support them. Many Mod artists used this symbol and that's when the link between the target and Mod became the iconic symbol it is today.
