Infiniti Introduces Updated Logo with a Three-Dimensional Design
Infiniti, the luxury car brand, has unveiled its new logo, featuring a three-dimensional design. In a departure from the current trend of flat logos, Infiniti’s updated logo creates the illusion of a road receding into the distance. The top of the central “cone” has been deepened, enhancing the effect, and the inner contour now features illumination. However, this new logo will only be directly displayed on the cars themselves, while a two-dimensional version has been created for use in car dealerships, advertising booklets, and online pages.
This marks the third logo update for Infiniti since the brand’s introduction in 1989. Alongside the logo change, the brand has also revised its corporate style, as well as the visual and sound range of its advertising. Interestingly, these updates coincide with the appointment of a new head of Infiniti. Starting from July 1, Jose Roman, an Ecuadorian executive who has been working at Nissan since 2012, will take over as the new head of Infiniti.
