Car logos with wings
Below are the most popular brands of cars with wings on the emblem and deciphering the meaning of their logos.
Aston Martin
The first emblem of the brand was designed in 1921, then it consisted of two letters "A" and "M" connected together. But six years later, the Aston Martin logo found its legendary design, symbolizing freedom, speed and dreams. Since then, the premium car icon has undergone many changes, but has always remained winged.

The modern version of the symbol consists of a stylized image and an inscription on a green background (which emphasizes the uniqueness and environmental friendliness of the brand) or black (meaning superiority and prestige).
Bentley
The most famous car brand with wings on the badge is Bentley, its logo is made in three colors:
- white - symbolizes purity and aristocratic charm;
- silver - testifies to the sophistication, perfection and manufacturability of brand cars;
- black - emphasizes the nobility and elite status of the company.

The hidden meaning of the emblem lies in its resemblance to the ancient occult symbol - the winged solar disk. The number of feathers on both sides of the nameplate was originally unequal: 14 on one side and 13 on the other. This was done to avoid fakes. Subsequently, the number of feathers was reduced to 10 and 9, and some modern models have symmetrical wings.
MINI
The Mini car company was established in 1959 in the UK and since then has repeatedly changed its owners, until BMW acquired the brand in 1994. The badge with wings on the MINI car in its modern form appeared only at the beginning of the XNUMXst century. Designed for girls and women, the hood of these small sports cars is adorned with an emblem that is based on earlier versions of the badge, but has a more modern and concise outline compared to them.

The black and white logo consists of the name of the brand in a circle, on both sides of which there are short stylized wings, symbolizing speed, dynamism and freedom of expression. The company deliberately abandoned halftones and a variety of colors, leaving only black and white (silver in metal nameplates), which emphasize the simplicity and style of the brand.
Chrysler
Chrysler is another car with the wings icon. Since 2014, the concern has declared complete bankruptcy, passed under the control of the Fiat automobile company and received a new improved logo.
Auto Chrysler
The long, gracefully elongated silver wings, in the middle of which there is an oval with the brand name, convey the sophistication and charm of Chrysler cars. The fully written name is reminiscent of the first emblem, created back in 1924, and emphasizes the continuity of the revived brand.
genesis
The car icon with wings on the sides is the Hyundai Genesis logo. Unlike other Hyundai cars, Genesis appeared recently. It is positioned by the concern as a premium car, so the badge on the hood differs from the standard company logo (the nameplate on the back of all models, regardless of their class or number, is the same).
Auto Genesis
The stylish winged sign emphasizes the luxurious class of the brand, which in the future will be able to compete with German and American counterparts. A feature of the Genesis policy, aimed at improving the comfort of its customers, is the delivery of ordered cars right to the door of the buyer, wherever he lives.
Mazda
This is a Japanese car brand with wings on the badge formed by the middle part of the stylized letter "M", the outer edges of which slightly cover the contours of the circle. The style of the logo often changed, as the founders of the company tried to express wings, light and the sun as accurately as possible in the icon. In a modern symbol that reflects flexibility, tenderness, creativity and a sense of comfort, one can consider both a bird flying against the background of a heavenly body and an owl's head.
Auto Mazda
The name of the auto concern is based on the name of Ahura Mazda. This is an ancient deity of Western Asia, "responsible" for intelligence, wisdom and harmony. As conceived by the creators, it symbolizes the birth of civilization and the development of the automotive industry. In addition, the word Mazda is consonant with the name of the founder of the corporation, Jujiro Matsuda.
UAZ
The only "winged" Russian logo among the list of foreign cars is the icon with wings familiar to everyone on a UAZ car. The bird in the mug is not a seagull, as is commonly believed, but a swallow.

The creator of the famous emblem included in the drawing not only the symbolism of flight and freedom, but also hidden in it:
- the old UAZ logo - "loaves" - the letter "U";
- three-beam star of the company Mercedes;
- triangle V-shaped motor.
The modern style of the logo has acquired a new Russian-language font, the design of which corresponds to the current spirit of the company.
Lagonda
Lagonda is an English luxury car manufacturer founded in 1906 and abolished as an independent company in 1947 due to its merger with Aston Martin. During the First World War, the company's factories were converted to the production of shells, and after it ended, Lagonda continued to produce cars.

The brand is named after the river in the US state of Ohio, on the coast of which the founder of the company was born and spent his childhood. The emblem of the car with wings in the form of a semicircle unfolding downwards emphasizes the style and class of the brand, which, despite the change of owners, has remained unchanged for more than a hundred years.
Morgan
Morgan is a British family company that has been making cars since 1910. It is noteworthy that in the entire history of the company's existence, it has never changed owners, and is now owned by the descendants of its founder, Henry Morgan.
Auto Morgan
Researchers differ on the origin of the Morgan logo. Most likely, the emblem of a car with wings reflects the opinion of World War I ace Captain Ball, who stated that driving a Morgan car (then still a three-wheeler) was like flying an airplane. The company recently updated the logo: the wings have become more stylized and have acquired an upward direction.
London EV Company
London EV Company is a British company famous for its black London taxis. Although LEVC is headquartered in England, the firm is currently a subsidiary of Chinese automaker Geely.

The black and blue badge with wings on the Suffolk car is made in a graphic style and, unlike modern logos of popular car brands, contains halftones and smooth color transitions, reminiscent of retro style. The contour of the emblem resembles the silhouette of a soaring eagle, in its central part there is a hexagon with the letters SS.
rezvani
Rezvani is a young American automaker that produces powerful and fast cars. The concern was founded in 2014, but has already gained worldwide fame. The company specializes not only in supercars: brutal and bulletproof off-road armored vehicles from Rezvani are used by both civilian drivers and the US military. In addition to cars, the company produces limited collections of branded Swiss chronographs.
Cars Rezvani
The wings on the Rezvani logo, following the outlines of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter, appeared as the embodiment of the dream of the founder of the company, Ferris Rezvani, about a career as a pilot (this is the model of the aircraft that his father piloted). And although Ferris never connected his life with aviation, his desire for flight and speed was embodied in beautiful and super-powerful cars.
Car manufacturers always strive to emphasize their power, speed and nobility. For this, symbols recognizable by all are used, often these are the wings of birds (or angels), but both the feathered arrow of the Skoda car and the trident-crown of the Maserati emphasize the class of the car and inspire their owners.
