About McLaren
On a solid black square background sits a horizontal wordmark rendered in bold, modern sans-serif letterforms: “McLaren” in white. The letters are slightly condensed and forward-leaning, with distinctive joined/streamlined shapes that give a compact, aerodynamic appearance.
To the right of the wordmark and slightly above the baseline is a small, red curved swoosh (a boomerang-like shape) pointing upward and right, acting as an accent mark. The overall layout is minimal and high-contrast, emphasizing the white logotype against the black field with a red speed-like mark for emphasis.
