101 Facts about Car Logos

Every car has a logo, and every logo has a story behind it.
Here's 101 interesting stories that I know

[@TopCarsTV]

Correction: 1:36 #5 Kia Logo is not different in Korea. Turns out that was just an aftermarket badge that got popular and the fake home-market story was spreaded without people double-checking.

[@MatheSzabolcsDaniel]

18:47 next time I see a dacia, I'll open my beer bottle with the badge, thanks for the suggestion

[@ChaplainPhantasm]

But only with the older models! The new badge is...Meh.

Extra fact about the Rolls Royce logo dissapearing: it's a safety feature, not against theft, but against getting impaled by the thing when the owners chauffeur runs you over :D That, as in, pedestrian safety is also the reason why cars no longer have hood ornaments like the old days, and why the rare exceptions are foldable, retractable or just easily breakable.

[@bobyoung1698]

The Cybertruck is such an ugly failure, Tesla avoids putting a logo on it.

[@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr.]

There are lots of automakers that would love to have a failure that's on par with the Tesla Cybertruck. They’re bringing over 100 grand each, and Tesla can’t keep up with the high demands for this ugly failure.

[@YourLocalFloridians]

@@Sandy.J.Lloyd.Sr.it’s a failure for people that aren’t obsessed with keeping Elon Musk the richest person in the world

Not technically a logo, but Mazda filled the RX-8 with a bunch of hidden triangles in reference to its rotary engine. And thanks for the video, Stype. Love ya 😘

[@imvivalamilo]

Hello, Volvo nerd here. The Volvo logo is just the alchemy symbol for iron, it has nothing to do with gender. Also, the Volvo 850 was the first production car to have a transversely mounted inline 5. Just thought I should add that.

[@TopCarsTV]

True, but because modern feminists are complaining about it I thought it would be good to mention that the symbol is for both iron and man

[@imvivalamilo]

@@TopCarsTV It’s quite funny because Volvo is probably one of the only companies that cares about people. They invented the 3 point seatbelt and left the patent open and encouraged other companies to use it because they knew it would benefit society more than it could ever benefit them as a company.

[@klodknife]

​@@TopCarsTV Iron Man logo, sounds like Tony Stark should drive Volvo instead of Audi

[@loucostabile]

An education for "Car People" where everyone will learn. Humor added is a BONUS! Extremely well done!

[@murkang]

1:40 Actually no. I live in Korea and the logo shown in the video is an aftermarket logo resembling the "Millienial" logo used across home market KIAs from 2000~2004. They no longer come from factory. Meanwhile, however, Kia Opirus, Mohave, and Stinger each did have unique emblems for the home market.

[@RexyTheMagicalDinaur]

Can confirm. I've seen these logos on some Kia's around the US.

[@CountryballstudiosYT]

2:15. The Stickers aren't for weight purpose. It's hard to drill screws in Carbon fiber without damaging the structure. That why they have stickers.

[@mohammadmohammad1118]

And the stickers under the clear coat so the logo will never be damaged

[@WastedWoky]

no lol, some track cars have these to reduce weight lol, most track cars have them like amg ones

[@petiertje]

Still feels cheap though. I get the weigh saving stuff, but there are other options probably. Not a big issue though, since I won't be able to buy one of those 🙂

[@livingon2wheels]

As a marketing guy, I really like that new KIA (the "KN") logo. Much better than the one used in other markets.

[@LexusLFA554]

"Named it back to Audi". Good sir, it was Horch before.

It’s so nice of Stype to paint the speed limit sign over and over again to show what number fact we’re at. I just hope Stype returned the 101 sign back to normal. Love the video Stype 🤙🏻

[@alessiorossato5839]

The video starts with the fake myth of Ferrari and Porsche logo connection.... Great. Francesco Baracca served in the cavalry in 1909 in the 2nd regiment Piemonte Reale that had the prancing horse as harlad since its foundation in 1692. Originally the horse was silver with a red background. When Baracca entered in the aviation service during WW1, the pilots were allowed to use a recognition symbol on their planes, Baracca chosen the horse of his former regiment and coulored it in black to make the horse more visible on plane's livery (that was grey). In april 1918 in a letter to his mom motivated the choice of his symbol:" I will send you a photo of me riding a horse and in the meantime I will send you the pictuee with the machine and the horse on it, the coat of the Piemonte Reale.". In 1923 Enzo Ferrari won a race in Ravenna and met Baracca's parents. They gave him the symbol of his son as lucky charm. In fact when Enzo will open his racing team Scuderia Ferrari used that symbol as the logo. The black prancing horse will be in a yellow background, colour of Modena, the city where Ferrari lived and created its car company. In 1933 the 4th Stormo Amedeo d'Aosta, the elite squadron of the Italian Air Force, adopted the black prancing horse and then spreaded in the air force.

[@madcoyote]

Thought as much, but yeah...Thanks for the fact check! There is just so many, which used a horse in a Logo...

[@EdwardianTeaChest]

@13:32 The origin of the Lotus name was revealed in a 1968 documentary. According to Colin Chapman himself, the name Lotus came from a bathroom fitting.

[@HOLDEN1856]

Another car logo fact(s). With the Holden Statesman/Caprice, they had an olive wreath for their emblems. And on the topic of Holden, it's logo, of a lion holding a stone, was introduced in 1928, in which it refers to a fable in which observations of lions rolling stones led to the invention of the wheel.

[@DavidNeasbey]

A free fact for you about Toyota. Before the loops and loops logo their badge was a capital T, kind of like a Trident. Seems like the Chinese have copied Toyota with the T for Tesla

[@averageyoutubeuser9483]

Nah, trying to change the Volvo logo because its a 'male chauvinistic' logo is just silly

[@The_Unpunished]

Here's an Aston Martin badge fact that I expected to see but I am going to share anyways: Aston badges have different fill color behind "ASTON MARTIN" letters, depending on which car you get: green is reserved for more base model cars, black is for the fastest models, and red is reserved for their special models, including Zagatos! The policy has loosened up over the years (Cygnet has a black badge for some odd reason?), but it stayed true for a while. And another one: in 2016 BMW in Russia ran an ad campaign that allowed BMW's to drive through tolls for free. It became very popular and it is also common here to cover number plates to avoid toll fees, so people started covering their badges with BMW ones. Best ad move ever.

Ummmm… as Korean interested in car industry I’ve never seen a Kia logo like that in this country nowadays before. We are also having the same logo as the global one😅 That thing looks quite similar with what they’d used in late 90s in Korea tho

[@TopCarsTV]

I guess I was wrong about that one. Too many sources claimes it was a special logo for the home country. My further research tells me it's just an aftermarket badge that somehow got popular because the old KIA logo in a circle wasn't too interesting

11:41 Haima's logo is quite well thought out as it was from ye olde days where foreign companies needed to sell their cars as a part of joint venture with the Chinese government or state affiliated companies. In this case it was the Hainan government and Mazda hence Hai and Ma. Pretty clever for them to italicize the "I" as a reference to the "Z" in Mazda. Also clever in the sense that the name in Chinese wasn't some gibberish or overly long corporate legalese name. The hanzi characters for Haima stands for Seahorse so it gave the brand some level of separate identity even though they sold the same cars up to the late 2000s.
