NEW DELHI: Jaguar has revealed a striking new logo and brand identity as part of its transition to becoming an all-electric car manufacturer by 2026. The rebranding aligns with the companyโ€™s philosophy of โ€œExuberant Modernism,โ€ characterized by bold designs, vibrant colours, and a refreshed version of the iconic leaping cat logo.

 

The revamped visual identity introduces four unique elements: the Device Mark, Artist Mark, Makerโ€™s Mark, and Strikethrough. These symbols aim to reflect Jaguarโ€™s emphasis on innovation, craftsmanship, and artistry. Moving away from traditional automotive branding, Jaguarโ€™s new approach focuses on bold visuals rather than featuring its vehiclesโ€”a nod to its โ€œCopy Nothingโ€ philosophy.

The brandโ€™s evolution sets the stage for its upcoming all-electric four-door GT concept, which will debut on December 2, 2024, during Miami Art Week. This highly anticipated reveal signals Jaguarโ€™s ambitions to compete directly with electric vehicle leader Tesla.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk weighed in on Jaguarโ€™s new logo on X (formerly Twitter), quipping, โ€œDo you sell cars?โ€ The lighthearted jab drew a humorous response from Jaguar: โ€œYes. Weโ€™d love to show you. Join us for a cuppa in Miami on 2nd December?โ€ Musk did not respond further, but the exchange underscored the growing rivalry between the two brands.

 

Jaguarโ€™s move to electrification comes as global automakers accelerate their shift to sustainable energy. With its rebranding, Jaguar aims to distinguish itself in the increasingly competitive EV market. The companyโ€™s focus on modern, vibrant aesthetics reflects its commitment to originality and innovation.
