Rolls-Royce is a true legend in the automotive world. In total, a little over 20 models of this car were released over the long history of the brand, which is very different from the speed with which other well-known car brands release new models. However, Rolls-Royce has never pursued quantity at the expense of quality. The brand was primarily associated with prestige, and this continues until today. Therefore, the company always tries to bring each model to perfection. The luxury brand still inherits the traditional approach to the production of its cars. That is why Rolls-Royce cars are still assembled by hand. This guarantees the unique quality of its automobiles. The only automated process in the entire production procedure is body painting.

1906 – 1934

The original Rolls Royce logo depicted an extensive crest in a form of the shield. There was a laurel wreath image beneath it, a lion statuette on top, as well as several different patterns inside. The very center of the shield included a small vertical rectangle. Its top and bottom were given over to the words ‘Rolls’ & ‘Royce’ respectively, written in tall serif letters. The bottom was occupied by an emblem that depicted two capitalized ‘R’ letters. The patterns around this badge depicted a sea horse, a lion, their ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’ mascot and a bird.

1911 – 1934

It was essentially a simpler logo with the same elements. The rectangular badge was still in the middle, with two lions on the sides, a big triangle behind and a combination of ribbons and rose imagery. Onto a curved bottom ribbon, they placed the motto ‘the best car in the world’ in big black letters. The bird and laurel imagery was also present on the logo.

There’s an even simpler emblem, adopted around the same time. It included a vertical oval in the center, and here you can clearly see the combination of capital ‘R’ letters. They seem intertwined, although in this version they are slightly further apart than before. All around it was a vague ornamental shape that looked like a square-like plate with curls all over it.

1911 – 2020

This was their most enduring logo. It depicts their mascot of ‘the Spirit of Ecstasy’, which is a heavily veiled woman with her hands from back. It uses a white-and-blue color scheme and placed onto a grey figure that resembled a square with two curved sides. The Spirit was also used as a hood statuette for a very long time, among other things.

1973 – 1998

The new 1973 emblem depicted a tall rectangular figure with rounded corners and a dark blue coloring. Inside, they put the same two ‘R’ letters as the earliest logos had. They are intertwined and colored in silvery-grey. Also, both are encased in thin blue contours. The font for these letters is a smooth, elegant serif.

1998 – 2020

This emblem is very similar to the badges in the centers of the earliest logotypes. It’s a tall rectangular shape of a metallic grey color. The same combination of letters is placed in the middle, except now they are black. The ‘Rolls’ is written above it is a specifically contoured section. The ‘Royce’ is written the same way in the bottom. The font was a basic thin sans-serif.

2020 – today

The 2020 emblem is the same combination of two letters, as seen in the middle of the previous logo. They are just two black ‘R’ characters with slight black contours, and nothing else.
