An ornament to be attached to a vehicle body such as automobile body to indicate a mark such as the manufacturer\s mark for example. The ornament is of the self-illuminating type essentially made up of a base to be attached to an outer part of the vehicle body, a lamp such as an electroluminescent panel supported by the base and a cover which is a one-piece member formed of a transparent material attached to the base so as to entirely cover the lamp with a space therebetween. By processing of its inner side, the cover has a first area which is in a pattern corresponding to the shape of the mark to be indicated and allows the light emitted by the lamp to pass therethrough but in the daylight prevents recognition of the lamp from the outside, and a second portion which is contiguous to the first area and does not allow the light to pass therethrough. The processing of the cover has enabled to exclude partly transparent and/or semitransparent plates disposed between the lamp and the cover in conventional vehicle ornaments of fundamentally the same type, with the effect of improving the appearance of the ornament and reducing the production cost.

An ornament for a vehicle to indicate a decorative or identifying mark, the ornament comprising: a base attachable to an outer part of the vehicle body; an electric lamp supported by said base; and a cover which is a one-piece member formed of a transparent material and is attached to said base so as to entirely cover said lamp with a space therebetween, the inner side of said cover facing said lamp being processed such that said cover has a first area, which is in a pattern corresponding to the shape of said mark and allows light rays emitted by said lamp to pass therethrough but in the daylight prevents recognition of said lamp therethrough from the outside, and a second area which is contiguous to said first area and does not allow said light rays to pass therethrough, said inner side of said cover being recessed only in said first area to reduce the thickness of said cover in said first area.
