World Car Emblems/Badges
Each car has its own history of creation and development. The manufacturer’s logo plays an important role in it. Car emblems all over the world are as individual as fingerprints.

You can find out what the emblems of famous brands symbolize and mean by watching the following video.
As you can see, the emblem of each car has meaning only for it and over time becomes its talisman.
Such an icon contains part of the history of the creators, the target orientation, some decisive factor in the implementation of the idea or the merger of capital of the founders of the brand.
Of course, what makes a car famous is not the emblem, but the technical characteristics and appearance. However, great care is taken when creating a car badge to convey its character and message.

Emblems and car brands. The most famous brands. An article about car brands and their emblems from around the world
There are a huge number of cars from different countries and continents all over the world. This article is about car brands from around the world and their emblems.
Emblems and car brands of Germany
German quality is known throughout the world: their pedantry and meticulousness in their work helped them create high-quality cars:
- The Audi emblem appeared as a result of the merger of 4 companies.
4 rings - 4 companies: Audi, Horch, DKW, Wanderer.
These companies produced their products for different market segments: Audi produced sports cars, Horch - large and richly decorated cars, DKW - motorcycles, Wanderer - mid-size luxury cars.
— BMW is an abbreviation for Bayerische Motoren Werke, which means “Bavarian Motor Works.” BMW was originally an aircraft engine manufacturer. Now the emblem is interpreted by the people as an airplane propeller against a blue sky. This misconception arose as a result of the work of advertising creators. The company itself says that the colors are taken from the Bavarian flag.
— The Mersedes-Benz company appeared as a result of the merger of two competing companies: Benz and Daimler.
The emblem was a three-pointed star, drawn on a postcard to his wife by one of the owners of these companies, Daimler Gottlieb, the owner of the Daimler company. After some time, the star received a ring around the star with the inscription Benz.
The three-pointed star is a symbol of the combination of three elements: earth, water and air; it was for these elements that the Mercedes-Benz company planned to create its cars.
— Opel was originally a manufacturer of sewing machines, but the emblem appeared on trucks that were called Opel Blitz (Blitz means “lightning”). After a fire in 1911, the production of sewing machines was discontinued. There was a different emblem on passenger cars, and after the National Socialists came to power, the emblem on passenger cars also changed.
— The Volkswagen company was created at the request of Hitler: to create a reliable car that would cost no more than 1000 Reichsmarks. This is how the “people’s car” was created, which in translation sounds like: “Volks-Wagen”.
The logo is a combination of the letters “V” and “W” into one monogram; this concept was chosen as a result of an open competition. The background has changed over time and with changes in owners, but this concept has remained the same as it was before.
— Porsche company. The deer antlers in the logo are a symbol of the German state, namely Baden-Württemberg.
Also, the coat of arms of the capital of these lands, Stuttgart, received a prancing horse (the city of Stuttgart was founded as a horse farm in 950). Before this logo, cars simply had the words “Porsche” on them.
The need for a logo arose as a result of entering the American market, and it was created in order to increase the recognition of the car.
Emblems and car brands of European countries
cars of France
— Throughout the existence of the company, the logo has constantly changed. Now the Renault company has a logo: an elongated diamond on a yellow background with the company name. Renault is a French company that, in addition to cars, even produced tanks, for example: the first production tank from Renault, the Renault FT-17.
— Peugeot company. Since its inception, the Peugeot company has changed many specializations; it opened in the 1700s, and in the mid-19th century they launched the production of manual coffee grinders and pepper and salt mills. The emblem itself appeared in 1858.

— The Aston Martin company, which was originally involved in the production of racing cars, took its name, consisting of: the name of the track where the race was first won, and the name of one of the creators. The first is Aston, the second is Martin. Eagle wings were also added to the emblem.
— Bently Company. According to the plan, the emblem represents: power, independence and speed, which is why the wings that surround the letter “B”.

cars of Italy
- Ferrari. Initially, the company belonged to another Alfa Romeo company and had a different emblem, but time passes and the emblem has changed. As Enzo Ferrari, the founder of the company, said: “As a factory mark, I continued to use the image of a rearing horse, which I first appeared on Scuderia Ferrari cars.
The story of this rearing horse is simple and funny. This emblem was carried on his fighter by Francesco Baracca, an ace of the First World War. He was shot down near Montello. When I competed at the Circuito del Savio in Ravenna in 1923, I met Count Enrico Baracca, the father of the hero.
He introduced me to his wife, Countess Paolina Baracca, who one day suggested: Ferrari, why don’t you depict my son’s rearing horse on your racing car? He will bring you good luck. I still keep a photograph of the ace with a dedication from his parents, in which they entrust me with this sign with a horse.
The horse was and remains black.
I added a golden background, which is the color of the city of Modena.” — Alfa Romeo company.
This company has a very interesting emblem, which includes the symbols of the Italian city of Milan of the 15th century, like this: the “white cross”, which is depicted on the left, is the coat of arms of the city itself, and the “snake”, depicted on the right, is the symbolism of the house of Visconti, which ruled this city in 14th century.
- Mazeratti. The emblem of this company was the coat of arms of the city where the production of cars under this brand began, namely Bologna. So the coat of arms of the city is a trident, which is depicted on the emblem.
- Lamborghini. The symbolism in the form of a bull is not accidental, since the creator of this brand was born under the sign of Taurus. The creator of the car brand was a rich man, he could afford various luxury cars, but he found flaws in each.

Car emblems: what car logos tell you
Every car that drives down the street proudly bears its “heraldic coat of arms” on its radiator grille. Or the logo of the manufacturing company. By the way, some emblems are indeed borrowed from the family coats of arms of those involved in the creation of this or that brand. And some emblems were created “without further ado.” Recognizable? Laconic? Informative? That's good.
Of course, it is unlikely that we will be able to examine the badges of absolutely all car brands in this article, but why not talk about the origin and meaning of the “stamp” on the hood of the most popular cars among the people? History is always interesting and educational!
For convenience, the list of car brands in pictures can be viewed alphabetically.
So, each icon is a small excursion into history...
Alfa Romeo
The emblem of this Italian brand is a combination of images of two coats of arms. One image in the form of a red cross on a white background was part of the coat of arms of the city of Milan.
The second image, in the form of a bloodthirsty serpent devouring a man, was borrowed from the heraldic coat of arms of the Visconti dynasty.
Over time, the Alfa Romeo emblem was slightly changed, but these two elements were kept in their original form.
Audi
Who is not familiar with the four famous rings intertwined with each other? In 1932, this symbol beaconed to the whole world about the cooperation of four companies that merged into one automobile concern, Auto Union. The war stopped the existence of almost all its participants, but the “sign of four” remained. After the revival of the Audi company in 1965, it became the emblem of Audi cars.
BMW
The circle, divided into four equal sectors and resembling a target, tells the story of the times when the BMW concern was engaged in aircraft construction. So this logo is nothing more than the rotating blades of an airplane propeller. And the colors of the emblem are the main colors of the Bavarian flag.
Buick
Among the emblems of American car brands, this one has the most interesting origin. At first, the logo contained only one name: “Buick.” Simple and tasteful. And then Scottish automaker David Buick modestly added three shields from his family coat of arms to the inscription. Together with the inscription, they adorn the hoods of all Buicks to this day.
Chevrolet
This cross, familiar to everyone, has nothing to do with coats of arms. According to rumors, the founder of the automobile company, William Durant, either saw a similar design on the wallpaper of a hotel room, or drew it on a napkin during lunch. And the car itself was named after engineer Louis Chevrolet.
Citroen
People like to call this brand “double chevrons,” which actually reflects the essence of the emblem: the teeth of a chevron wheel. Because Andre Citroen began his career as an automaker with them.
Daewoo
The appearance of this emblem was not accompanied by mysterious and family stories, so the designers depicted a sea shell as the logo. True, some see it as a lily.
Fiat, Ford, Jeep and Hummer
These four companies preferred not to bother with ornate badges of car brands, but depicted the main thing on the hoods of their brainchildren: just the names of the cars. And if in the first two the background and font changed periodically, then the Jeep and Hammer emblems were initially unchanged and simple. Tough military guys - nothing more!
Honda
The creator of this brand, Soichiro Honda, did not even write the name. I simply took the initial letter of my last name and enclosed it in a geometric shape. Today this logo symbolizes quality, reliability and everything that Japanese cars are so loved for.
Land Rover
The emblem of these imposing travelers looks rather unassuming. Rumor has it that the oval with the company name inscribed in it is nothing more than an imprint of a tin can. The logo is rough, but this does not prevent the car itself from being one of the favorites of the automobile market.
Lexus
Lexus followed the same path: the capital letter “L” inscribed in an oval. The logo is simple, but many people like it. Style, design, speed and high quality are not a complete list of the advantages of this car.
Mercedes-Benz
It is believed that the three-pointed star on the Mercedes Benz logo was invented by Gottlieb Daimler as a child.
The kid was already dreaming of success and mentally imagined that such a star would decorate the roof of his own factory.
A less romantic version claims that the three points of the star symbolize the three founders of the Mercedes company. Or maybe both versions are true. Why not?
Mazda
There are still differing opinions about the birth of the Mazda passenger car emblem. Some believe that the logo depicts the coat of arms of Hiroshima. Someone sees on it an image of a tulip, personifying grace and softness.
Mitsubishi
“Mitsubishi” translates to “three diamonds,” which is what the logo symbolizes. As a result of combining the coats of arms of two Japanese dynasties, three red diamonds adorn the grille of Mitsubishi cars.
Nissan
The emblem of this Japanese concern is now quite simple and laconic. Initially, the circle represented the sun and was red. And the rectangle with the company name symbolically meant the sky, and the color was appropriate.
Opel
The lightning bolt, enclosed in a circle, is dedicated to the compact truck of the Blitz brand. Translated: “lightning.” For many years it sold very briskly on the market, which contributed to the further prosperity of the Opel company. By the way, the first products of this plant were not cars at all, but sewing machines and bicycles. And cars appeared later.
Peugeot
Among the logos of French car brands, the most recognizable is a lion rearing up. The Peugeot company spotted it on the flag of one of the French provinces. By the way, she also started with bicycles. And the logo itself was modified several times until it acquired the form that is known now.
Seat and Suzuki
Both concerns, without agreement, chose the letters “S” as their emblems. True, the execution is different. This is probably why neither one nor the other is worried about the fact that someone might confuse them. But by the way, the letter in the Suzuki logo also resembles a hieroglyph. So, the Japanese are calm about the uniqueness of their emblem.
Renault
Whose emblem has undergone a lot of changes! The rhombus, symbolizing a diamond, was at first not a rhombus at all, but the initials of three brothers. By the way, you’ll never guess what exactly Renault produced at the beginning of the twentieth century. Not bicycles or even sewing machines... but tanks! An intermediate version of the company logo was a tank.
Volvo
The symbol of masculinity on the hood of Volvo cars was initially mistakenly associated by many with the god of war, Mars. It turns out that it wasn't him at all. It's just that Sweden has always been known for the quality of its steel.
A circle with an arrow coming out of it also denoted the chemical element “iron.” Thus, the Swedes decided to show that Volvo cars are in no way inferior in quality to the vaunted Swedish steel.
In general, many people later agreed with this.
Car icons of the world are also a separate world. Consisting of legends, facts, versions and, in fact, the symbols themselves, which are intricately arranged in various combinations. Some brands of cars are a thing of the past, and there are also many who are at the beginning of their journey.
Sometimes you can only guess what this or that emblem means. After all, behind each of them there is a whole philosophy.

Car brands - icons
All car brands! Russian roads are literally full of cars of brands and models from all countries and continents.
Various companies, services, departments are trying to collect statistical data on the most popular, most budget, most common car models that are in demand among average Russians.
These data often contradict each other, because depending on the region, region, territory, even the entire republic, tastes and, most importantly, opportunities and preferences are so heterogeneous that it is very problematic to display the real picture in relation to the entire country.
Cars from Russia
Cars from Russia . Considering the preferences of potential buyers, we can safely say that European, Asian, and American brands are in great demand among residents of vast Russia.
And the native auto industry represented by AvtoVAZ is simply an inexpensive cornucopia of good budget cars. The most common models are the LADA brand. The opinion of car enthusiasts about domestic cars is ambiguous. Many people complain about the significant difference in build quality and interior comfort compared to foreign cars.
The advantage is that spare parts for the Russian descendant of Fiat are inexpensive, and you can purchase them without any problems. Be that as it may, cars from foreign manufacturers successfully compete with the brainchild of the Russian automobile industry.
Since the country’s territory is very vast, the sphere of influence of individual foreign brands in certain territories can be traced very transparently.
European cars
European cars. European and American cars are confidently conquering the European part of Russia. The most common are German cars from the manufacturers Volkswagen, Opel, BMW.
Volkswagen is true to its name (“the people’s car”), high-quality, reliable cars enjoy deserved popularity among the country’s population.
In addition, the manufacturer has a line of luxury cars that very wealthy people are happy to buy.
Opel has taken a strong position in the range of small cars. True, some models produced earlier suffered from body corrosion, but in recent years the manufacturer has finally solved this problem.
Powerful cars from BMW with a claim to sporty style bring true pleasure to fans of Bavarian iron horses. All German cars are famous for their reliability, durability and high level of comfort.
The German proverb - Ordnung uber alles (Order in everything) - perfectly characterizes the attitude of the manufacturers of these excellent machines towards their products.
French Peugeot, Renault, Citroen are also very popular. These brands are sold both through official car dealers and in the car markets through resale by private individuals. The hot Italians Fiat and Alfa Romeo may be less common, but they have also found their niche in the vast Russian car market.
American cars
American cars . American cars are a separate article.
Even adapted to our realities, they impress with engine power, solidity and solidity of assembly and appearance.
Ford, Chrysler, General Motors - the cars of these manufacturers will not leave any car enthusiast indifferent. The legendary Ford generally claims to be the most preferred car in Russia.
Japanese cars
Japanese cars . The Far East and Siberia fall into the sphere of influence of automobile corporations in Japan, South Korea, and, more recently, China.
Chinese cars are a separate issue altogether, since the “Japanese” and “Koreans” have long gained authority in the vast expanses of Russia. The Chinese comrades managed to win a significant market share for themselves, supplying fairly high-quality models from Chery and other manufacturers.
Japanese Toyotas are generally the daily companions of most Russians in the Asian part of the country. The representative Lexus from this prolific corporation is especially honored. Owning a model of this car is a calling card of security, solidity and authority.
Mazda, Nissan - these names speak for themselves. Many car enthusiasts who dealt with these cars never said anything about them except words of praise.
Auto Asia
Auto Asia . Well, the South Korean Hyundai is capable of displacing anyone. It combines all the characteristics characteristic of European, American, and Japanese cars.
Daewoo and Sang Yong Rexton are less common, but tens of thousands of car owners confidently trusted these brands.
Cars from Kia have recently been on par with the most popular Asian brands.
What to choose is the main question of any person who decides to purchase a new car, now it can be solved very simply, if only there were funds. The choice is wide, for every taste and every budget. The main thing is not to get confused by the abundance of offers.

All car brands with badges and names – Automotive News
All car brands with badges and names.
Cars have been serving humanity for over a hundred years. Their first home-made designs were made by self-taught people in artisanal conditions. Later, entrepreneurs, for example, Henry Ford, put this process on the conveyor belt, and allowed the maximum possible number of citizens to appreciate the delights of owning their own car.
It is generally accepted that there are approximately fifty thousand car models and approximately half a thousand car brands in the world today. It is for this reason that it is quite problematic to place all car brands and their icons with names and photos in one article. Let's present a list of the most popular and trusted brands.
Japanese cars.
The Land of the Rising Sun is represented on the automotive map of the world as one of the leaders in this industry. Most concerns have representative offices around the world.
Japanese car brands.
The Honda logo is made in the form of a stylized letter “H”, the first letter of the surname of the creator of the concern, Soichiro Honda. The basis of the logo is a square with rounded corners.
Toyota's logo is more multifaceted. It represents three ellipses. The two perpendicular ones represent the letter "T", and their symbol is sometimes described as being like a thread threaded through a needle, hinting at the company's weaving past. Also, these ellipses should resemble two combined hearts: the driver and the car. Such a pair is surrounded by a common ellipse.
Subaru placed the Pleiades constellation on its logo. These six stars are visible from Earth even without telescopes. The second meaning is the merger of six companies into one - Fuji Heavy Industries. Even the name of the concern in one of the translations sounds like “to gather together.” Initially, products from the French Renault were used as the base models of Subaru cars.
Michio Suzuki also grew his company from the production of weaving machines, as well as motorcycles. Suzuki ranks 12th in the world in terms of volume of products sold. The logo is a modified Latin letter “S”.
Mitsubishi, which translates to "three diamonds", never had any logo restyling.
Nissan took the sun as a basis. For more than 8 decades, the company with its logo has been very popular in its homeland and in the world.
American cars.
Thanks to the love of North American admirers for textured cars and the desire to stand out from the general background, the American car brand is easy to distinguish from the general background by its emblem.
The Ford logo already habitually depicts an ellipse with a blue background and the name of founder Henry Ford in capital letters.
American car emblems.
Buick has repeatedly changed the style of the nameplate, and each time the emblem has received intricate shapes. Now in the circle there are three silver coats of arms placed diagonally. They are symbols of the three most successful models.
Hummer, which migrated from the battlefields, notifies buyers about the name of the car in a simple font without unnecessary serifs. The logo is placed on the eight-striped radiator grille.
The GMC company, celebrating its centenary in 2016, also adheres to restraint in the emotions of style, equipping its products only with the red three-letter abbreviation of the concern.
Cadillac is included in the list of car brands for the stylishness of its emblem. The company's name is given in honor of the founder, Señor de Cadillac.
