Since you asked for our opinions here's mine.
I personally hate the new lettering on the 991 model
The 911 is the most iconic car ever built and 99.9% of all people immediately recognizes it. If find it amazing that Porsche managed to stick to the same shape for 50 years.
Just look at the Corvette for example and compare a 50 year old Corvette with a newer model, no resemblance at all
So that Porsche now needs to spell out that a 991 is a Porsche AND a Carrera and a 911 is just plain stupid and it looks odd.
Why the long rant, because you are drifting into the same direction ...
I'd keep it plan & simple. Just my 2 cents. At the end it's your car and you can do with it whatever makes you happy :-)

Another vote for 'too busy', I don't like the new 991 badges for the same reason. A simple '911' or 'PORSCHE' will work. Before you know it, someone will do the '2006 Porsche 911 997.1 Targa 4.' That way, people will never asked you what you have.

Personally, I would either do "Targa" or "911" not all of the above plus "4".
