Evolution of Car Logos

The car logos, as we know them now are the result of years of evolution and millions of dollars spent on design. How some of them evolved over the years you now have the chance taking a look at the picture gallery.

For example, Alfa Romeo, a car manufacturer that you know as being from Italy starts its history in France in 1910 and was named Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (Lombard Automobile Factory, Public Company) or A.L.F.A.

Alfa Romeo’s distinctive logo was created in 1910 by a draftsman named Romano Cattaneo. One day, while waiting for a tram at the Piazza Castello station in Milan, he was inspired by the red cross in the Milan Flag and the Coat of Arms of the noble House of Visconti, which featured a biscione (grass snake) with a man in its jaws, symbolizing "Visconti’s enemies that the snake [was] always ready to destroy."
