tBBP Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Add Nissan to the recent batch of brands gone barebones, as Nissan joins the flat design party. Current, soon to be former logo: New, soon to be current logo: Application on vehicle grille... It's ok for what it is. It looks more streamlined--and much better on that grille mockup than it does on a piece of paper. Side note: this now means that someone somewhere is gonna have to pay to update all the signage and branding around Nissan Stadium-- which just got redone barely three years ago... *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Looks better in practice than on paper. It's a lateral move, I guess. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

BBTV Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 It's a little misleading, since when applied like on the grill, it has a full border and shape (black). It also looks like the letters are raised, and that makes the light kinda paint a line on it, which makes it similar to the current one. The logo with no outline (the black on white) doesn't look much like the white on black version.

pepis21 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Same like BMW looks better on car than on paper. Although in old Nissan colors it doesn't look that bad: Also Nissan changed "Z" logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 Wonder if this rebranding was motivated in part by their former CEO being arrested on major fraud charges? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With seemingly half the planet's CEOs stepping down this year, I'm sure the rebrand is coincidental. I like it! My dad was a Saab & Nissan mechanic when I was a kid... definitely fits the Nissan vibe, probably because its so similar to what it replaced that most people won't notice any change.

VDizzle12 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I like it. The soon to be replaced logo looks cheap and outdated. Most of these car badges have been upgrades, hopefully Kia/Hyandai are next to make the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

officeglenn Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 This was unveiled during a showcase for Nissan's 2021 Ariya electric crossover. https://jalopnik.com/nissans-new-logo-is-sharp-and-simple-1844386176 And here's the press release from Nissan: https://usa.nissannews.com/en-US/releases/release-93f6f6bb105b0dfefd3c497289015e82-redesigned-nissan-logo-signals-a-fresh-horizon Quote For decades more, Nissan's logo has stayed true to a belief held by its founder Yoshisuke Aikawa, "Shisei tenjitsu o tsuranuku," which he interpreted to mean, "If you have a strong belief, it penetrates even the sun."

burgundy Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Who moderates the moderators? The logo itself is okay I guess. At least it's an actual logo and not rendering of the badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VDizzle12 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 It's definitely an upgrade...but that took 2 years to design? No logo design project should take that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSmith48 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 It’s a lateral move... it would probably be better with some thicker lines and lettering though, from a 2-d standpoint. The application on cars is actually kinda neat. Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith_apprentice Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I saw the new logo on a new Altima in traffic. Looked decent. Makes the grille look cleaner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Dad had a couple of Datsun's, I remember seeing pictures of the Chevy Nova my dad traded in (because after I was born, my mom was pregnant a couple of months later, with my brother and my Dad couldn't justify the muscle car anymore) for the Datsun B210. I think we'd be stuck with Nissan as the name, but I hate round logo's on cars. At best, I would have been cool with the last row 2nd from the left as the Logo. Then fire their entire automotive design department for how gross all of their vehicles look and start from scratch.

pepis21 Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Datsun was revived by Nissan in 2013 and they're producing low-cost cars for emerging markets like Nepal, South Africa etc. although Nissan might ditch Datsun brand again to saving money. BTW their logo also looks like low-cost: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd that Datsun was the name they chose in those other markets. But I hate how their logo looks even with that datsun one you just posted. It just looks so boring. Obviously not as bad as Kia and Hyundai, god awful, those two. The "gold" datsun logo in the image I posted, I always like that look, the nostalgia of it.
