Dodge Brand Logo History Evolution (1910-2022)

Today we are looking at the history and evolution of the Dodge brand logos. Many fascinating and mysterious logos have been used by Dodge throughout the past 100 years. Trucks, passenger cars and performance vehicles typically held different logos on grills. Here are all the emblems used by Dodge from their early days in 1910, all the way to the present-day in 2022.
Brothers John Francis Dodge and Horace Elgin Dodge founded what was called the ‘Dodge Brothers Company’ machine shop in 1900. Originally, they were a supplier of parts and assemblies to other Detroit-based automakers like Ford, and it would be 14 years before they began building their own automobiles in 1914, under the ‘Dodge Brothers’ name.

[@Driff97]

Call me nostalgic but the Ram Head is my personal favourite

[@incognito5109]

Yes.

[@MarspeedCars]

Same for me, that’s still a dodge in my mind

[@hjrings9423]

Absolutely. I even put it on my dodge dart and my 2020 charger

[@maxlenn4071]

Agreed

[@alexiscriollo2747]

I am with you and I do believe it was one their best logo, they need to get a better logo that can represent the brand

[@brianbeswick3646]

I am an 80's guy and got my license in 1984, so I like the pentistar local the best because that was on all Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler cars of that time. I always liked the fake crystal pentistar found on the Chrysler Fifth Avenue from 81 to 89. Love your work.

[@LoganRoberts1320]

That fratzog emblem is my favorite. Ausome video by the way!

[@MarspeedCars]

Yeah it’s pretty sweet I love it too! My favorite has to be the Ram until 2010, love seeing that on my Chargers 😂

[@Modine.]

Fun fact, the word "dependable" is in our directory because of Dodge. A journalist was trying to describe the new Dodges way back in the day so he came up with the word dependable. 💯

[@frankpepe2079]

This is false. English language has used this word since the 18th century. 🤡

[@Modine.]

@@frankpepe2079 You don't know what you are saying. But yes 18th century as in 1914ish, just after Dodge started mking cars!

[@frankpepe2079]

@@Modine. 18th century means 1700s.

[@ZROSTARS]

RAM HEAD still the best Dodge logo

[@29madmangaud29]

Dude, I just love your KNOWLEDGE of all of this, it's so very refreshing! Thanks!

[@adambolian4425]

Excellent video, very informative Keep up the good work!!!

[@HopeItWorks_Hobbies]

Dodge for life best brand in vehicles!!

[@Modine.]

I couldn't agree more! 💯

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE LEARNING ABOUT OLD LOGOS AND PAST ADVERTISING CAMPAIGNS. GREAT VIDEO AND THANKS FOR SHARING.

[@TomDeVito]

The rams head will always be my favorite a close second would be be the 5 point shield emblem

[@bv6241]

Another great video! I'm shocked that you don't get more views. I forward your videos on to friends usually. You're definitely a hidden treasure on KZbin. Haha

[@salpanahi]

Great informative videos, keep it up brother!!

[@colinvos4443]

We had a 1953 Dodge Sedan. I recall the car and that by 1963 it was getting all rusted out but we kept it till 1965. It was so rusted my Dad had to put a 2 X 4 under the seat frame to stop it falling through the floor. Even though the car was all rusted that Ram ornament on the hood was as gleaming and shiny as the day the car was built. A great memory for me.

[@ramrider1453]

Very cool video. Well done. I subscribed. 👍

[@weegeemike]

Loved the Pentastar, not necessarily as a brand logo but as the corporate logo for Chrysler and Dodge. Reminds me of childhood. An awesome simple logo that succeeded of doing it's job by sticking in my head and being recognized as a logo of quality and better times.

[@allrequesthistory]

So, I was doing some research for my channel: All Request History, and came across this video on Dodge. I have to say, I really like your content, your editing, your production, and your style. Maybe I'm being pretentions here, but I feel like our styles are similar? Of course I DID notice you have 148K subs! I have less than 500!? I'm just taking a leap of faith here and wondering if we can collaborate. You are clearly doing something I'm not, and better than me!? So, If nothing else, just know that a fellow creator admires your work!

[@davidprestigiacomo1574]

Loved the show. Thats my red 62 T-Bird at the very end of video!

[@johnnicpon5783]

Great history video. Can you do something similar for Chrysler, Plymouth and DeSoto? I do favor the Fratzog as that was what was on my Dad's 1964 Dodge Polara 500. The Ram is perfect for the trucks. Looks great on the tailgate of my 2020 Ram 2500 MegaCab!

[@megatronusorionpax4900]

It'll be cool if we get more logo videos like this. The Dodge Ram logo is the most nostalgic for me but I really like the Fratzog and leaping Ram

[@NewtownVids]

Awesome video. If stellantis is going to replaced the hemis. They need to bring back the 5.2L & 5.9L magnum V8s to replaced the hemis & have the new gmet6 engine to go alongside it.

[@Modine.]

As much as I and so many other people would like to see that happen they would still pay a lot in fines to the EPA. Why do you think there making electric cars?

[@NewtownVids]

@@Modine. I haven't thought of that.

[@vegetable406]

It's unfortunate with the US laws/regulations coming into action that we won't ever see it happen. They're effectively being forced to quit the hellcat on account of average mpg

[@NewtownVids]

@@vegetable406 what i said was just my opinion.

[@philmiddaugh3355]

All the V6's and all the V8's are on the chopping block and replaced by L4's and L6's brought to by the EU.

[@vassa1972]

Cool

[@nicholasmagcamit8233]

I love the new logo , the logo and the slogan Grab Life By the Horns ! Hit It !

[@tyler4093]

They should bring back “join the rebellion” for their electric muscle cars.

[@megatronusorionpax4900]

that's honestly a really good idea it fits suprisingly well and is much better than the slogans they're trying to use now

[@maroon9273]

My favorite logo from dodge is the star shaped logo from the 80s to early Mid 90s.

[@Rascofresco11]

1st S1apShoeS now Marspeed.. today is a good day. Can you do a video on the ME-Four-Twelve? It would be interesting to hear your prospective.

[@MarspeedCars]

Thanks for the support! I already have done an ME-412 vid but can see if I can do another one

[@Rascofresco11]

@@MarspeedCars YES! OK Sub for Jeep Hurricane. I remember reading about it and it's twin engines back in 5th grade and begged my dad stop at every jeep store we passed to see it(not knowing it would never be made)

[@prestonhelmick566]

I love the ram hood ornament of the 90’s ram trucks

[@mistermusik]

That Forward Look probably could have used a stylized “D” superimposed on the figure. Heheh, get an illuminated fratzog in the center console and call it the Fratz Capacitor. 😎

[@gregorytalber2068]

I like the forward look logo

[@jamessawyer8889]

Logo number 8 was used for a number of ad's as well as on the brochures & the signs at the dealerships

[@sgod5902]

First dodge was a 04 neon. Now I got a 17 charger. Personally dodge with 2 stripes is my favorite

[@girlenesilva6858]

You think you can do the history of the 426 hellephant and how got its name? and what made dodge makers to bring back more powerful?

[@James-xo4uv]

I wish my 2021 Charger had a fratzog emblem or something similar

[@jondickson75]

Do Plymouth emblems please!

[@Geforcefly]

I never knew that the "An American revolution" slogan was used by Dodge before Chevy used it in the 2000s on their cars until now.

[@elizandrolopez6295]

The called fratzog. Is the one and the only worth of respect. The one i'm seeing since i was in the cradle and marked my life forever.

[@thefreshprinceofgreenhills]

Ram head still fuego to me

[@romansteele2217]

I still remember the dodge boys have more fun and dodge girls have more fun jackets in the 80's

[@markg3447]

What about the large Ceramic coated plaque on the side of the hood that said Dodge brothers?

[@tcrweeks]

So the three pointed Dodge emblem is called the 'Fratzog'. Does the late 50's/early 60's Plymouth logo have a name? (The one with the delta wing spike pointed upwards on a tall rectangular, sometimes hexagonal, sometimes circular, background. While researching this I came across a 1960 Dodge Dart emblem with two tall chrome triangles flanking a center field of gold. This apparently was very short lived as the fratzog overshadowed it.

[@dxrinc]

Ward Cleaver drove a Polara

[@jeffreyzabawski4862]

In the late 80's and 90's the Rams had such a problem with getting their Hood Ornaments stolen that they just started to integrate them with the Hood.

[@gang-yc4je]

i drive a ram so my favorite is the ram head ;) grab life by the horns!!!!

[@volkswagenk7017]

Forward Look logo is stylish

[@oldschooldodge1]

You forgot Dodge depend on it.

[@vassa1972]

My father Nick has a '16 dodge ram silver 1,500 4 door truck

[@fishypictures]

Fratzog…… I daily drive a 1964 Dodge 440 …. 400 cu. Inch bored .40 over. BMW seats with crocodile interior, set up like an old Pro Stock…. Nobody knows what it is except old guys,… I’m OK with that.

[@robo08ify]

Another fun fact about the logos: If you flip the Viper logo upside down it looks like Daffy Duck.

[@zacharyreynolds4303]

bro they have literally zero logo identity. KEEP ONE i was kinda starting to like the double red stripes and then they suddenly bring back the fratzog i think since dodge/ram are synonymous to so many people they should rely more on logotype than brand names for identity. -Rams head for trucks -Fratzog for cars (dodge branded)

[@jlegasp]

Meanwhile at Ford for decades CEO: Blue oval? Stockholders: Blue Oval

[@volkswagenk7017]

they had the crest logo in the late 40s, 50s and 60s

[@dxrinc]

G.S. Patton used 2 DODGE 6 sedans in the Mexican punitive action on the Mexican/Texas border. 1st use of automobiles used in a US military op

[@dtay8913]

The only thing I don't like about the fratzog is it kinda looks like a Mitsubishi logo from afar

[@__AverageJoe]

Well they did partner up with Mitsubishi back in the 90-00s I believe. But that is irrelevant to the question.

[@NBHRaven]

Have you thought about, or already have, done a video like this but for Jeep?

[@MarspeedCars]

I will do Jeep and Chrysler soon for sure!

[@NBHRaven]

@@MarspeedCars I’ll volunteer some XJ photos/videos when that time comes 🤪😅

[@zosometalgod]

That fratzog was also called the pentastar before the modern pentastar! It was never really called a fratzog the Dodge dealers always called it a pentastar! My father used to work for Dodge back in the 60s

[@uPilot]

is this an april fools? or is this real lol

[@CDPhemi]

60s 70s 80s and 90s .The dodge logo 2010 and up they have now is dated and needs an update

[@ronalddevine9587]

Too many logos. The only thing that I give Ford credit for is sticking with their script logo. I have to laugh at GM's new logo with lower case letters. Symbolic of their downfall.

[@alexiscriollo2747]

I do believe Dodge need a better logo because their current one is trashy, there ram logo from the 90's was the very best logo they ever had.
