Famous vehicle badges - major automotive emblems in the world

We present to your attention a list of emblems:

1. Acura... The emblem resembles a caliper. The simplicity of the drawing is due to the fact that at the time the brand was created in the United States, it was rather difficult to register a new trademark. The official register of logos contained many similar trademarks.
2. Alfa romeo... The logo consists of two borrowed parts: a red cross on a white background and a snake devouring a person. The first element has long been present on the coat of arms of the city of Milan. The second is an exact copy of the coat of arms of the Visconti dynasty.

   

3. Aston martin... The initial version of the logo consisted of intertwining letters A and M. The wings identify the speed inherent in the produced cars. They appeared on the logo only in 1927, they were borrowed from. A year later, it was decided to give them a trendy shape.

5. Bentley... The main element, the winged capital letter B, is the personification of strength, speed and independence.

   The main element of the logo is a black circle, inner space which consists of four sectors. The silvery white and sky blue colors in which they are painted are traditional for Bavaria.

   

7. Brilliance... Company presents . Considering the fact that the price is affordable for consumers, the high quality of the vehicles produced should be noted. Perhaps this was the reason to call them "diamonds".
   The brand name speaks for itself, and the car logo, consisting of two hieroglyphs, is a written confirmation of this.

   

8. Bugatti... Connoisseurs of cars produced by the company know perfectly well why the emblem is made in the form of pearls. The logo contains the surname, as well as the initials of the founder - Ettore. Sixty points along the perimeter are nothing more than pearls.

10. BYD... It didn't take long to create the logo. This is a kind of simplified version of the BMW logo. Color, shape, slightly distorted vision - and you're done.

12. Caterham... Caterham Car Sales was a Lotus dealer. In the early 70s. Graham Niern, who by that time headed the company, bought the rights to produce Seven cars. After that, the sports car changed its name to Caterham Super Seven. If you look closely, you can see elements similar to the Lotus emblem. As for the magic number 7, it was present on the company's emblem for a long time, involuntarily recalling the model of the same name.
    Since 2011, there has been some kind of structuring. This is confirmed by the version of the emblem presented in January 2014. It is clearly different from the usual Super Seven. Green remains the unchanged attribute, which now outlines the contours of the flag of Great Britain.
    
    
13. Chery... Chery Automobile Corporation places a logo on its cars that resembles the company's name abbreviation. Among other things, the emblem symbolizes the hands, which are characterized by strength and unity.

    Given the connection to the tribe, whose totem animals are wolf and dragon, it is not surprising that the original version of the emblem resembles the scales of a dragon. In addition, it is worth noting the scaly armor characteristic of their warriors.
    In 2008, visitors to the Geneva Motor Show were the first to see the new Dacia emblem. A closer look at the logo resembles the letter "D", the full name is written on its straight horizontal line in dark blue letters. The silver color of the main element indicates the status of a Renault subsidiary.
    
18. Daewoo... The name of the company translates as "great universe". Many sources say that a shell was chosen as the emblem. But the lily version is more plausible.

    The ram's head was first used in 1936. In the period 1954-1980. the element was not seen on the logo.
    From 1994 to 2010, the bighorn head again became the main distinguishing element of the company logo. Given this circumstance, it is worth noting that this is due to the assertiveness and power inherent in these animals.

    The yellow background is the color of the city of Modena, and the three stripes at the top of the emblem are the national colors of Italy.

This is followed by a period when the shape of the emblem takes on either round or square outlines. The basis of the modern emblem is the motives of the previous ones, the period 1931-1968. The chrome edging, color, and features of the 1931 FIAT 524 are an idea of \u200b\u200brethinking the old emblem.
