In the age of travel and communication, the world has been made smaller. Connecting together the different places, culture, and nationalities, transportation has paved the way to bridge together people and increase trade. The pace of globalization began with the advancements of means to travel. With the predominant automobiles we see today populating the streets, it is highly suggestive that cars would be here to stay. Different companies have sprung up around the globe over the years to have a shot at the automotive industry, each carrying their trademark designs and trademark
car flags.
Each insignia flown by the different banners and flags of these different car companies convey different meanings. From the simplest designs which includes only the letters of the company such as Ford and GMC, to a more elaborate set of figures such as those by Mustang, Jaguar, Mitsubishi, and the like.
The very first brand that became commercially marketed and popularly known was the Ford Model T car. It was the first production line car created for the masses. Ford's logo only consisted of a white striped blue oblong with the word "Ford" in it. It was so simple that it worked wonders for the company as buyers quickly remembered the name and the cars it sold. Even the car flag which flies in front of the Ford Headquarters in Michigan flew the plain logo we are so familiar with.
As for other car brands, Mustang carries the symbol of a steed which symbolizes power and automotive strength to which the company itself prides in among competition. The triceps symbol of Mitsubishi signifies an Old Norse symbol of protection, probably the same protection keeping it existing in a competitive industry. Other brands with symbolic figures definitely have their own interpretation.
Whatever
car flag symbols these companies are flying, it is definitely their way of marketing their ideals and influence on the cars that they are selling. Meanings of car symbols are the embodiment of what each of their companies are all about.
