RENAULT NEWS - MARCH 2021

FOCUS ON… 

THE NEW LOGO RENAULT  

This month, Renault is changing its logo starting with the two ZOE campaigns. Showcased during Renaulution, this new logo already sits on Renault 5 Prototype’s front grill. The new logo embodies the “Nouvelle vague” for Renault, with the idea of bringing something new, vibrant and modern. While the previous logo (launched in 2015) may have looked complex with some readability issues on smaller sizes, this new rhombus differs in being very coherent and readable in every sizes and materials; perfect when embossed, stitched or even sculpted. Flat design might be in “l’air du temps” though Renault has a long tradition with logos made from sharp lines, starting with the 1946 logo until the new 3D approach made by Style Marque in 1992. Nonetheless, Renault is not getting nostalgic of the 1970’s or so, “Nouvelle vague” for Renault is a statement of modernity and technology. 

This new logo, already seen on TV ads, is also in use now for Renault’s social medias and will be deployed all along the different web platforms from June this year. It will proudly sit on Renault’s new lineup from next year as for our showrooms.  

STATION FLINS 

As announced on November 25, 2020, Flins ReFactory will integrate an incubator open to external partners (start-ups, academic partners, major groups, local authorities...) to develop or co-develop innovative projects around the circular economy.  

On March 4, 2021, Renault proposed to its partners to discover in more detail the ambition of this incubator project called "Station Flins". 

Housed on the Flins factory site, Station Flins aims to pool resources, technologies and knowledge to co-build innovative solutions around the circular economy. The partners will work on all the RE-FACTORY business activities, the reconversion (retrofit) of vehicles, the recycling of parts, materials and electric batteries, and training in the new professions of tomorrow's mobility. 

DID YOU KNOW ?

Renault has one of the most iconic and instantly recognizable logo shape: the lozenge (rhombus or diamond). 

The first lozenge appeared on the front of the 1925 Renault 40HP. It slightly changed its form to adapt to the front of the car wearing it. In 1946, when becoming the Regie Nationale des Usines Renault (RNUR) a new logo has been designed employing clear and sharp lines. This version was then modernized in 1959 with a new typeface and dropping the “Regie Nationale” word. Then in 1972 a very iconic logo was introduced, designed by Yvaral and Vasarely, this logo remained on the front grills of the cars for 20 years and was accompanied in 1978 by a new typeface designed by Wolff Olins. In 1992, Style Marque redesigned the legendary diamond and gave it a 3D shape with a chrome finish that still perfectly matched the Wolff Olins typeface which lasted until 2004. The lozenge was then placed inside a yellow square with a new typeface. Three years later, in 2007, a slight redesign put the wordmark inside the yellow square, just beneath the diamond. 

2015 marked the last change prior to 2021, with a new logo and typeface developed by the Renault design studio in collaboration with Interbrand.
