The automotive industry is responsible for designing, developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling the world’s vehicles. The automotive sector is a huge empire that moves millions of dollars each year, even in times of crisis.

To be honest, you virtually just listed all the car brands there are. Not a great selection as I don’t think there are 30 good enough designs.

I think it’s good to see the variety of designs within the industry, and most of these are very professional. I appreciate that Gisele listed a lot of car brands, but it’s cool to compare them.

Looks like a list of just every car logo there is… but somehow you forgot to list one with an actual good logo – Mazda.

I love the Lexus logo .

As a Citroen owner, I like the slight difference in the new Citroen logo – the chevrons aren’t as sharp as before. Fiat’s logo is much better than before when it had those three lines.

If you check out the evolution of the Ford logo you can see how much it’s changed: http://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/archives/can_ford_afford_a_redesign.php. Risky changing to a new one though!

Like Josh said, the post is a mess. Not a selection. You should mention at least Bentley, Bugatti, Maserati, Lamborghini, Mini Cooper – some of the most influential automotive brands not in terms of quantity, but quality and prestige.

Of course every automotive company isn’t listed, but it is nice to have a high-res collection of the majority of logos. Thanks for grabbing the Audi logo from our blog!
