Porsche

Explore Porsche’s geometric wordmark and its relationship to the heraldic crest, with clear distinctions between lettering and badge.

The lineage

Porsche through the years

The story behind the changes

How the identity evolved

Two signatures with different jobs

Porsche’s identity includes both a lettered name and a detailed crest. The wordmark shown here is the horizontal company-name signature; it is not the crest fitted to the front of a car. Its low, wide letters can identify the brand in a format where a detailed shield would be less practical.

The crest carries the heraldic story

Porsche’s official account explains the crest’s relationship to Stuttgart and the surrounding region. Its horse, antlers, and colored fields carry a more detailed historical story than the wordmark. The company also documented a modernized crest in 2023, which should not be confused with a new introduction date for this lettering.

Reading the wordmark

Rounded corners, extended horizontal strokes, and open spaces create a consistent visual rhythm. This page uses a verified wordmark reference and does not substitute a car photograph for logo artwork. An exact first-use date for this supplied drawing is not established in this entry.

Compare this identity with Volkswagen and Toyota.
