car logo is a symbol of a car brand and the first way for people to know this car brand. Many car brands have experienced changing their logos during their development, and some car brands have changed their logos a lot. However, because many car logos have been too old, young people have never seen them before. Today we will learn about the evolutionary history of the Mazda car logo together, and you can see how many you can recognize.
Now the logo used by Mazda is like a seagull, meaning that Mazda can spread its wings and fly in the sky like a seagull. The two wings of the seagull also have a certain curve, which looks like the letter M, and also represents Mazda. The Seagull logo was developed by Mazda in 1997 and has continued to this day. It is the most familiar logo among Chinese people and the longest-used logo for Mazda.
Before this, Mazda also launched a pictogram similar to the Renault logo. Inside an oval circle, a diamond with a hollowed-out style is placed. However, the edges are relatively round, and they look like spades in playing cards. This logo is used on the first-generation Miata and other models, but it has existed for a relatively short time.
This car logo was only developed in 1992. By 1997, the new Haigu logo was used in all series of cars, and the diamond car logo was eliminated. It is estimated that older car owners may have some impression of this logo, but those born in the 1980s and 1990s should not be familiar with this logo.
If we want to trace it back further, we can trace back to the period when Mazda was just established. Many people may not know that Mazda is actually a car brand that became a half-way brand. Mazda was actually a cork production company and only transformed into the heavy machinery manufacturing industry in 1927.
In 1931, Toyo Kyogo developed the first three-wheeled truck and named it Mazda-Go, which means "the God of Wisdom". The mark used on the car at that time was the mark of Cork Company, with two short horizontal bars inside a red circle. But after all, the company has transformed. If it continues to use the previous logo, it seems that it does not match the machinery it makes, so Matsuda Juro redesigned a car logo.
1936, Mazda designed a wavy logo with green background based on the name of Hiroshima , which represents the three currents of the Daejeon River Delta. This logo lasted for 14 years, and it was not until 1950 that Mazda redeveloped a car logo.
During this period, the global automobile industry has made great improvements, and Mazda also has rotor technology. It designed a circular car logo based on the letter M based on COSMO. The two sides of the letter M extend outward and connect with the outer circle, and the overall design is still very designed.
Mazda uses this logo to all cars using rotor engine . This logo can be seen on the air intake grille, wheel hub, steering wheel, engine and other positions. Later, this logo was also replaced by the Haigu logo. In addition to the Seagull logo, the M logo is the longest used in Mazda's development history for more than 100 years.
Will everyone suddenly feel a little dazed when they see these car logos of Mazda? I used to think that Mazda only has this Haigu logo, but I didn’t expect that there are so many car logos that I have never seen before. However, compared with Cadillac , Mazda has changed its logo too few times.
