Volvo Logo Information and History
The company changed its logo in late September, replacing its chrome-effect three-dimensional symbol with a graphically flat design. While the change occurred quietly, the ripple effect spread through social media channels and the company confirmed its decision after much prodding. The new logo incorporates elements from the previous design while emphasizing texture and light highlights. Here are three tips for designing a new logo for a company with a long history of innovation and quality.
The male gender symbol in the Volvo logo is also related to the brand. In ancient Rome, the male gender symbol was used as an astrological symbol for Mars. During the Renaissance, alchemists used this symbol to represent iron. The brand wanted its logo to convey a strong image of strength and resiliency. Besides utilizing an ancient symbol of iron, the logo also uses blue and chrome to convey a sense of class.
The logo was designed with the company's name and the company's initials in mind. The company's logo is inspired by Roman mythology, and the circle with arrow represents Mars, the Roman god of war. The arrow also represents the chemical element iron. It also uses the Clarendon Text Bold Font designed by Robert Besley, released by Thorowgood and Co., in 1845. The font has many similarities to the current Volvo logo. Additionally, the logo utilizes colors of the cobalt blue spectrum and gray with variations of shaded variations. Earlier versions of the logo featured red and gold.
In terms of design, the new Volvo logo is in line with modern graphic preferences and will translate well to a wide variety of mediums. It may look dated today, but in 2021, more people will be embracing minimalism and sleek design. No matter which trend you choose to embrace, remember that design trends come and go. And while the new logo will fit in for today's aesthetics, what matters most is the overall experience when driving a Volvo.
Basic Colors
We've taken a look at the image and pulled out some colors that are common across lots of logos. The colors below aren't the exact colors found in the image, but approximations to common colors.
Advanced Colors
We've extracted the below 'advanced colors' from the logo. These should be much closer to the actual colors found in the logo. Our extractor tries to only take the main colors of the image and tries to ignore shading on anti-aliasing or shadows. This generally leads to better results, but in some circumstances you might find a few unusual colors being pulled from the logo.
Hex Colors
The below are the hex colors that are found in the logo. You can assume that these are the actual colors used in the logo. Our color extraction tool that takes the colors from the logo tries to ignore anti-aliasing and shadows, so you may sometimes find a slightly odd result, but this is rare. These colors should be very similar to the Advanced Colors, but you'll notice subtle differences. If you're interested in the exact color then use the hex, but if you're trying to describe the logo then use the Advanced Color or the Basic Color above.
