Volvo reveals sleek new logo design

New logo: silver version

New logo: Black version

The old logo: Tweaked but not forgotten

"Volvo needed a re-design of the iron mark, optimized for communication and versatile for all types of applications," the agency writes on its website. "The logo has been simplified in its purest form and conveys the brand’s vision; to be the world's most progressive and desirable premium car brand."

The all-new, yummy mummy's favourite Volvo XC90 will be the first of the company's cars to carry the new logo design.
