Hyundai logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- Apart from affordable and luxury cars, Hyundai also produces engines and vehicle parts, which are used by many other brands across the globe.
- Meaning and history One of the most curious auto badges is the one Hyundai has adopted at the beginning of the 1990s.
- Though before the logo we all know today, the company has changed several designs.
- 1969 – 1970 The emblem, created for the Korean brand in 1969 featured a monochrome composition where the “HD” monogram in a custom typeface was placed on a trapezoid with its upper corners rounded, and bottom ones — sharpened.
- The Hyundai “H” had its right vertical bar elongated and bent to the right in its upper part, with the end of the line pointed.
- Both elements became smaller and the circular frame was switched to a horizontally stretched oval, which will come back to the Hyundai visual identity with the modern emblem, in 1990.
- 1978 – 1992 In 1978 Hyundai completely changed the concept of its visual identity, creating a new logo and adopting a fresh and intense color palette.
- The smooth lines of the initial version were switched to straight geometry, and now the badge featured a horizontally placed rectangular with the bold blue “HD” lettering on the left and the name of the company in Korean placed on the right from the monogram.
- 1990 – Today The first version of the iconic Hyundai logo we all know today appeared in 1990 and is still used by the brand.
- The company decided to take elements from all previous designs and the combination worked just fine.
- The new logo featured an oval shape of the frame and a slanted bold letter “H” enclosed into it.
- The color palette remained the same — blue and white, but the shade of blue became deeper and darker.
- 2003 – Today In 2003 the smooth elegant emblem of Hyundai gets accompanied by a modern and stylish logotype, which is placed on its right and executed in the uppercase of a custom sans-serif typeface with clean lines and half of the angles rounded.
- 2011 – 2017 In 2011 Hyundai decided to go three-dimensional and started using a voluminous silver emblem instead of the flat blue one.
