Opel has unveiled its new corporate logo. The Germans decided to abandon the three-dimensional emblem, and also changed the design of the lightning, which became brighter. As stated in a press release from the company (available to Autonews.ru), the new logo reflects “innovation and brand mobility”.
In addition, Opel decided to change its corporate font, which is now called “Opel Next”. The Germans consider it “light, but at the same time energetic, modern and clear.” The font includes three different spellings: light, regular, and bold.
The first car on which the Germans will test the new style will be the updated Crossland crossover. In Russia, this car will appear next year. After restyling, the Opel Crossland looks like a new generation Mokka crossover, which debuted in September.
