digg

fascinating..

I like BMW. They always had something looking the same from the begining.

Mitsubishi's story is pretty interesting...
would have been interesting to know the stories behind other japanese auto makers (Toyota, Nissan, Honda etc).. pity the article focused mostly on European cars...

I never knew Audi used to be 4 different companies. And Mazda has always had cool logos.

Wow. Mazda has always had the crappiest logos. Who knew?

Where's Honda and Toyota. Two of the biggest and greatest today.

They didn't evolve, each one was intelligently designed independent of all the others.

They're missing one of Mazda's logos, one of 'em is supposed to represent the rotary engine

Did anyone else think of Mr. Sparkle when they saw the merging of the two logos to make the Mitsubishi logo? Or am I just crazy?

BMW 1923 = BMW 2000 + Gradient

whats with all the evolution of pic stories on digg, what about the creation of logos o yea, and man lived with dinosaurs

The first VW one is swastica shaped crazy germans

No Oldsmobile / Pontiac?

I like the 76 Ford better...
Any takers?

They all went from being insanely intricate to easily intelligible.

Those remind me of stealing hood ornaments as a kid.

Buick 1911. Amazing.

Fiat's '99 logo really looks better than it does now.

whats up with the '75 buick?

anyone notice the resemblance between the 1919 Renault logo and the newgrounds.com logo...

Would've liked to have seen some more, like Chrysler, Dodge, Toyota, Chevrolet, Pontiac, and Honda. Those would have been cool to see. A lot of them have had many logo changes over the years, not always for the better.

Check back tomorrow for "The evolution of Digg articles on evolving images"

want to drive one of those...

Anyone else old enough that remembers Mazda's 1992 logo?

nice digg :||

awesome

In the Toyota logo, the entire word is spelled inside the logo. Look closely!

how long did it take to write this article?

I'll give five bacon points to whoever can guess my favorite car company. Hint: My user name.

Well written and interesting article. I hope eventually theres a part 2 to cover any new revelations

Where are my 7 sisters?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Pleiades_large. ...

No prancing horse?? For shame!

Subaru's logo is pretty cool, too. Subaru is the Japanese word for the Pleiades star cluster, also know as the seven sisters.

The Mazda logo was pretty crappy. Same with the Fiat one.

the connection between auto union and audi is not as straightforward as the site makes it seem. interesting nonetheless

"White propeller zipping around a blue sky. After the war, we told them they couldn't make plane engines. That's when BMW gave some serious thought to making cars. Kind of like this one. You probably knew all that, seeing as you lease one." - Finding Forrester

One of my favorite quotes from a movie.

just slap on a gradient and a lens flair
piece of art!

Dugg for V W Shwastica. Or buried?
Right shoulder Angel says bury it! Left shoulder Hitler says Digg Mein Fuhrer!

I just saw on The National Geographic Channel that the BMW roundel isn't about the propeller. It just had to do with the colors of the Bavarian flag --according to BMW company representatives.

I think that SAAB has the coolest car logo ever (Based on their current logo, or past variations thereof)

How about Ferrari? afaik, they've always had that same prancing horse.

in the end they all went for a Car 2.0 design.

I am the only one who find some of the first logo better than what they are today?
Anyway, nice article!

very interesting - a good read

Very nicely done. I too find the older logos more appealing than those of today.

Interesting article :) good find
