Ford changed its logo, and we almost didn't notice

There's been a clear trend in car logos over the past few years. One by one, most of the big car makers have dropped the gradients and 3D touches added in previous decades for simpler, flatter designs. That script-based Ford logo was one of the last to resist, but it seems that it's finally given in.

The brand has unveiled a revamped F-150 and the pickup sports a new Ford badge. But with no announcement of the change, some people may not even notice it. The design drops the chrome look of the previous logo and uses a slightly larger application of the script with simple white accents. If it looks familiar, that's because it's very similar to the classic design used back in the 1960s. We think it still deserves its place in our pick of the best cursive logos and the best big brand logos.
