One of the most important rebrands at the end of 2021, which chose the flat design for its logo was that of Swedish car manufacturer Volvo.
According to Volvo, the new design is a modern reinterpretation of the logo, but retains its own essence. Volvo’s new logo is a simple black, flat design which keeps the same circular shape as both the male symbol and the scientific symbol for iron, first used by the brand in 1927.
Volvo joins other car manufacturers like Toyota, Renault, Kia and others who have decided to switch to flat design with their logos.
It is the only major change of the Volvo logo in the last 7 years.
