About Volvo
A three-dimensional metallic silver ring with a raised arrow pointing up-right attached at the top-right. A bold blue horizontal band crosses the ring near its center and contains the white uppercase wordmark "VOLVO" in a heavy serif type. The ring and arrow use gradients and highlights to create a chrome/steel appearance; the blue band is flat but shaded to appear slightly glossy.
Overall the mark reads as an emblem-style badge: circular metallic form with an overlaid colored sash carrying the brand name. Shadows and highlights give the logo a sculpted, embossed look.
