Logo Evolution: FoMoCo



The boldest alterations to the Ford logo are in shape and line. The infamous "Centennial Ford Oval" did not come into play until 1912, but it has changed in shape since then to be longer and thinner. Also, the word "Ford" itself has changed in line weight, from thin in 1909 to bold and more defined in 2003.

Sample Logos


The design of this one is really cool, with the bright color scheme and geometric formation of the N.


I always love when letters are turned into "something"...using the C as a chicken is really creative and fun.


The simplicity of the shapes that make the squirrel is creative.


A favorite logo in my house (my parents restore 40s and 50s memorabilia), it had to make my top 5! Beautiful script.


Such a neat font and design, great colors.
