| History of the Ford Logo (Blue Oval) |
There have been a bunch of different logos Ford has used to market the brand. Today, we all recognize it as the Blue Oval, but it wasn't always that way.
In the very beginning there was a fairly complicated, oddly design that included a "Detriot - Mich." tag and spelled out "Ford Motor Co.
In 1912, the Ford logo made a complete change over to a very simplistic oval design.
The famous Blue Oval finally came around in 1928. It set the basic shape and color of future Ford logos, although it was much "fatter" than the current logo.
This next blue oval doesn't have an exact date of release, but it was used throughout the years leading up to the Centennial logo. It was basically a longer, shorter version of the logo from 1928.
This last logo is the blue oval that Ford released in 2003 in honor of the 100 years Ford Motor Company had been around. It was named the "Centennial Blue Oval".
