An illuminated emblem assembly (10) with improved homogeneity includes an emblem body (22) comprising emblem edges (46, 48), a housing (12) comprising a chamber (44), a light source (14) positioned at a second end of the chamber, and a light guide (18) positioned over a housing aperture, the light guide having a proximal side (86) facing the emblem body and a distal side (88) facing the light source. Light enters the light guide through a housing-side entry surface (32) disposed on the distal side. A first exit surface (36) is defined by a first proximal edge (56) of the proximal side and a first distal edge (66) of the distal side. A second exit surface (38) is defined by a second proximal edge (58) and a second distal edge (68). The illuminated emblem assembly includes a reflector (20) that directs light exiting a reflector-side transmissive surface (34) of the light guide back through and toward the first exit surface and the second exit surface.
