Honda logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- What font is used on the Honda logo?
- Meaning and history The brand was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1946 for building engines for motorized bicycles, as well as complete motorcycles.
- The second production car was a sports car with the body style of 2-door roadster.
- The style and shape of the Honda logo were changed.
- As for the color palette, it has also been redesigned — the burgundy and blue combination was switched to monochrome, with the white “H” on a solid black background.
- 1981 – 2000 The redesign of 1981 refined the lines of the logo and redrawn it in the reverse color palette — with the black “H” on a white background.
- The contours of the letter have been cleaned and the new badge featured a more square shape, with the rounded angles of its black thick framing.
- The emblem was now set above the enlarged black logotype in the uppercase, executed in a strong bold serif typeface with thick geometric contours and massive square serifs.
- The badge was outlined in gold and white and had a stylized delicate wing-like element in its left part.
- 1948 — 1953 The redesign of 1948 made the Honda Motor logo more confident and readable.
- 1968 In 1968 the new Honda Motors badge saw the light.
- The whole badge was executed in a monochrome color palette, with only the nameplate outlined in thick red.
- Its contours were emboldened and cleaned and the color palette was changed to gold and black.
- As for the main thing — the oval badge, — it was removed and now the wing was coming out of the massive and strong “Honda” logotype in the same color palette.
- 1985 — 1988 The contours of all the elements were refined and a bit softened in 1985, and the color palette of the Honda Motors logo was now composed of white and black for the inscription, and white, black, red, and blue for the wing.
- The wing was redrawn, using thick red lines with rounded angles.
- Symbol It was long considered that in the first twenty years of existence Honda didn’t have any logo.
- Before that, the logo was introduced as a blurry image on the hood (covering practically the whole its surface).
- Colour The Honda’s logo had different shapes depending on different periods of the company’s development.
- Nowadays it is a chromium coated symbol which can be seen on the cars, as well as on published and commercial materials.
