Car logo Samples

Here is unquestionably an elegant car logo. How much is attributed to what we already know about the car company and their products is debatable, of course. But colors and shapes go a long way for this logo. The shield shape conveys prestige and authority of the car and its manufacturer. Unusual for a car logo is the name of the city it is associated with, and the prancing horse conveys power and spirit - great for a car and all together make for a great logo. Wonder what it would do for my Pinto?
	Probably not 1 person out of 10 would know what car this logo represents, and 3 of the ten who thought they knew would be wrong. Lots of people who saw this logo would say it was for a Thunderbird (that's the 3). The person who knew it was for a Toyota MR2 would probably own one. For cars or otherwise, this logo tells us something. It says you can use a familiar-looking graphic on your logo and get away with it, but you are risking being misidentified if another car uses a similar graphic
A few simple shapes can define a car logo. Here a circle and a bar are used with the Nissan name for a decidedly un-classy logo. The shading gives a chrome effect which helps relate it to a car, but otherwise there is nothing to relate to speed, power or anything else we want to have associated with our cars. An interesting slogan has been added which is related to cars, however.  If your logo is a bit dull, you may likewise rescue it with a short but snappy slogan. But since it will appear on the car without the slogan, however, better to put a bit more into the logo graphic itself, so that it conveys something of what the car wants to say.
	And then we have one of the most recognizable car logos around. Again, effective use of shapes create an aura. In this case, entirely including one shape within the other makes the logo appear unified, while the car company name is also well-integrated into the shape. To some, the three points may represent spokes on a wheel, a fitting attribute for a car logo. The other graphic element in the logo, whether it is a head of grain or a branch, round out the logo aesthetically without demanding to be understood. Your logo, for your car or otherwise, can similarly include elements which are simple and non-obtrusive.
