Their website says "Clifford Blue Flashing Neon Can be fitted to any car with or without an Alarm, Most car Alarms will wire to this great Bright Flashing Window Mounted LED. Just a Red and a Black Wire and away you go"

Sounds like you just wire it across the perminant 12V supply at the ignition and earth to me.

You'd have to wire it up a bit more cleverly than just up to the ignition. Doing that will mean it's flashing when driving and not when parked.

I don't know enough about it, but will need some sort of switching device that will turn on when the ignition is off.

wire the red wire off the logo to a permanent live, then wire the black wire off the logo to an ignition live as these will rest at neg when ignition turned off then the shitford logo will flash when the key is not in the ignition
