Evolution of Car Logos

[atondex]

This is a very good article featuring some well known car logos and their evolution, from the early versions, up to today. Also, I'm sure you'll also find some interesting facts about the history of some car companies and their logos, facts that maybe you did not know.

Here's an excerpt:

Jellinek was quite a character. He used to pepper DMG’s engineers with colorful suggestions and criticism such as "Your manure wagon has just broken down on schedule" and "You are all donkeys". However, as he actually sold a lot of cars, he was tolerated and even listened to. Later, Jellinek would add Mercedes to his own and became Emil Jellinek-Mercedes.

Here's another very useful site that relates to car logos, explaining the meaning of the elements in the logos. I didn't want to make another topic, because this relates to the post above.

Here's the link:

I originally became interested in logo design thanks to car logos.

I have always loved the Audi logo. I don't think it has ever changed either. Talk about brand equity!

That's really cool to see how the icons evolved. They started out pretty bad in my opinion.
