The world’s oldest surviving automotive brand is reaffirming its personality and character with a new logo. It is turning over a new page in its history.
Peugeot unveiled its new logo: a coat of arms adorned with a magnificent lion’s head. Since 1850 Peugeot has had ten successive logos, all of which feature the lion’s emblem. Today an eleventh version, even more streamlined, more qualitative and more elegant, has just been created by the brand design lab, the global brand design studio.
Launched in 2010, the current logo needed to change to crown the brand’s move upmarket. After having completely overhauled its vehicles over the last 10 years, Peugeot is redesigning its logo to keep pace with its products. At the beginning of 2021, with the launch of a range that will be ushered in by the new Peugeot 308, with a new website and with the creation of STELLANTIS, the stars are aligned.
Peugeot is a brand in tune with the times. With even a step ahead of its time, it keeps abreast of innovation, anticipates changes in behavior and paves the way for new mobility solutions.
Peugeot has had the experience of all the revolutions: industrial, technological, political, social, digital and, now, environmental- the energy transition and zero-carbon mobility being at the heart of its strategy for a sustainable future.
All this forms Peugeot DNA.
‘It is also powerful and instinctive brand, a reflection of its emblem: the lion.
This makes a Peugeot a timeless brand, a link between yesterday and tomorrow.
Over the last 10 years, the entire product range has undergone astonishing upmarket move. And this is what it has achieved: ‘International Van Of The Year’ with the Peugeot e-expert in 2021 and partner in 2019 and three ‘Car Of The Year’ on the road ( Peugeot 308, chosen in 2014, Peugeot 3008, chosen in 2017 and Peugeot 208 chosen in 2020). And above all, an electrification range for both passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
This move upmarket and in value is now being perfected by work on the design of the brand itself.
A new logo embodies what Peugeot meant yesterday, what Peugeot means today and what Peugeot will mean tomorrow.
The new coat of arms, in the effigy of the lion, has always been part of the brand. It shines a proud spotlight on the value of Peugeot brand.
This logo has been designed to last.
This is the meaning of this coat of arms, a timeless, universal and multicultural form of identity.
It is a distinctive symbol of belonging, of recognition.
It is synonymous with prestige, confidence, longevity and lineage. With it and its new visual identity, Peugeot is joining history and hyper-modernity.
With this coat of arms, the Peugeot brand is setting out to conquer new lands, to accelerate its international growth, exporting French style and know-how as well as French elegance.
The Peugeot brand is turning over a new page in its history. A new era.
