sc49erfan15 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Quote The new logo is said to be a more modern and more up to date as compared to the logo being used currently and might probably be the first logo in the company's history to move away from the 'V' and 'W' placement that has been a standard since inception in the late 1930s "Might probably"... what is that mess? I don't think they'd move away from the VW logo. I'd expect something like the 1967 logo, but with a blue closer to the 1999 logo. I'm calling: VW with the letter thickness roughly like the 1945 logo, one outline, in a blue somewhere between royal and indigo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer15 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I really hope they don't move away from the V and W as that quote seems to suggest. Nothing wrong with a little update, as they've clearly done in the past, but no need to come up with something completely new.

VDizzle12 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Moving away from the VW would be a ridiculous mistake. Right now it's probably one of the top 5 best car logos out there. Simple and iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bleuet Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Its an world iconic logo. I know they want to change because of the dieselgate. Its sad, Keep the VW, its nice, its the most sold badge over the planet (at least when the beetle was still popular) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pharos04 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 https://www.greencarreports.com/news/1116351_volkswagen-stamps-new-logo-to-mark-electric-transformation This one is being less vague and just stating that they're going to "update the logo again for the electric era, polishing it up in time for the introduction of its I.D. Crozz hatchback" This could be anything but it doesn't necessarily mean the VW is going anywhere. Also included is another timeline that doesn't include the Nazi propeller blades/swastika, but has a logo from 1939 that retains the gear motif and has an interesting gap between the V and W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 "The change in logo for the German automaker is because the new management thinks that the automaker's appeal globally is 'too German' and unemotional. Incidentally, the 'too German' part has always been the core communication of the Volkswagen brand in the past across all forms of advertising " I guaran-damn-tee you that their next logo will be some sort of a squiggly, scripty thing that is evocative of a signature. It will contain a color (probably light blue) and make the viewer more likely to crave a seltzer water than buy a car. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board. You are not entertaining, you are a complete joke." twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMU Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Reading between the lines I'd say this has nothing do to with being too German and everything to do with rebranding after the diesel emissions scandal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 I think they’ll pretty much just drop the circles around the VW. Insert nikespeak about how they’re breaking down barriers, defying expectations, making a more open world, a dynamic new chapter in company history, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
