▶History of the Hyundai Logo 🌞
1967-1970
The debut logo consists of geometric forms with the letters “H” and “D” set against a background. They are an abbreviation for the Hyundai firm and derive from its name. The H’s extended right leg appears as a little spike protruding over the second letter. The “D” has a rounded right side. The background consists of a large bracket angled sharply to the left. She’s standing in front of a wide, narrow ring. There are just two color options for the symbol: black and white.
1970-1978
The designers retained every element in this iteration, with the exception of the circle. It was “flattened,” resulting in an oval shape. Because of this, the bracket inside of it started to appear slightly skewed back, as though it were out of perspective; the objects near it appeared bigger and smaller.
1978-1992
In 1978, the insignia was given a direct arrangement and a totally new format. Although the letter “D” has a solid color fill, the letters “HD” are even and readable. The frames of both signs are rectangular.
1990-Present
The designers unveiled a completely new logo, with the only remnants of the old one being an oval with a thin frame. The image, which is stylized as the letter “H,” shows a buyer and a seller exchanging high fives after a successful transaction.
2003-Present
The English version of the brand name was substituted for the hieroglyphs by the firm management to make sure the logo was well-received in the overseas market. The word “Hyundai” is written in capital letters on the right side, while a corporate logo shaped like an oval with people shaking hands is displayed on the left. As of right now, this logo is the primary one that is utilized.
2011-2017
The oval emblem with the letter “H” above the brand name was momentarily shifted by the designers. Additionally, they repainted silver, giving it highlights, shadows, and a beautiful metal look. The brand name is still the same, sans serif and crystal clear.
