In numerous ways, the company’s equipment outperforms those of competitors. The Bentley logo represents pride in its accomplishments, optimism for the future, and the technical features that enable the brand’s vehicles to “fly” on the road.
▶History of the Bentley Logo 🌞
1919-Present
When he switched from two to four wheels, Walter Owen Bentley envisioned creating and manufacturing his own automobiles. In 1913, he saw a regular aluminum paperweight at the DFP facility. He decided that this metal would be an excellent replacement for the cast iron used to make pistons. The young man accurately assumed that this would reduce the weight of the machines while increasing their speed. And he did it. During World War I, initial versions were utilized on aircraft engines to increase maneuverability.
A few months later, a car chassis was designed and made of new material at the time. This set the groundwork for the well-known brand, whose strategy has consistently won rallies. The iconic Bentley Speed Six and Bentley 4½ Litre, which founded the Sprint brand, are said to be the forerunners of today’s racing vehicles.
Frederick Gordon Crosby designed the logo. He drew a flying B on the badge. The white capital letter is centered in a black horizontal oval. This is the sole text in the logo. Furthermore, the gaps in the letters resemble two-round dies or valve holes.
