Re: Evolution Of Car Logos
Very cool! I love old art & graphics, the new stuff is just too sterile and impersonal.

Re: Evolution Of Car Logos
Amazing how similar the 1912 logo is to the later thunderbird symbol. Neat site.

Re: Evolution Of Car Logos
Very cool.
I always thought that the Audi logo was a result of their all-wheel drive prowess. I like the real story better. I am kinda surprised there is not documentation on Chevrolet.

Re: Evolution Of Car Logos
i love all these, they are so cool looking. i'd have to say my favorite though is the 1920?'s logo chevrolets with the eagle on top and the black bowtie.

Re: Evolution Of Car Logos
The 1912 one is interesting...
A winged pyramid? Was Ford a Mason?

Re: Evolution Of Car Logos
The script is C.H. Wills' signature... he was an engineer at Ford. There was a guy in our Model A club who used to tell us Wills was his uncle... don't know if it's true though.
I also think there was a block letter Ford badge... I remember in the 80's, I think it was... Sam.

Re: Evolution Of Car Logos
Just as we have thousands of fonts on computer today, fonts were available to graphic artists of the day, and the Ford script was one of the popular fonts available in the day. I doubt it was a signature because of the broad and varying strokes.
