CMH Honda the Glen shares the History of the Honda Logo

May 17, 2021 By Rokkit Digital

A lot of us know the history of Honda and where it comes from, but not many people know where and how the Honda Logo came from. Here is a brief history of the Honda Logo.

1961 – 1969

First Honda logo

The first Honda Auto logo was created in 1961 and remained with the company for eight years. It featured a dark burgundy rectangular font with a light blue and white element.

1969 – 1981

History

The logo was first redesigned in 1969. The shape of the rectangle was also changed, and the letter “H” was moved vertically.

1981 – 2000

History

The logo was refined and redrawn in the reverse colour palette, with the black “H” symbol replacing the white “U”. The new badge featured a more square and rounded shape, with a more rounded black frame.

2000 – Today

Current Honda Logo

In 2000, the logo and the emblem were updated. The former got a more prominent and elegant look, while the latter got a more muted and monochromatic tone.

History

Even though it was long believed that Honda did not have a logo, it was still able to identify its products with the letter H.

The logo for Honda was first introduced in 1960s. It was initially used as a blurry image on the hood.

Soichiro Honda was an engineer and an inventor. He was the first to invent a piston ring.

The emblem got smaller and took on a more prominent place in the radiator grille during the middle of the 1960s.

Honda is a Japanese multinational company that is known for its cars and motorcycles. The company has been around for a long time and is considered as one of the best producers of Asian brands.

Black Honda Logo

The logo of Honda was created in the 1960s when the company started to expand its operations. It was Soichiro Honda, who was also an inventor, who conceptualized the concept of a piston ring.
