GM Unveils New Logo, We're Perplexed


It’s new logo week! First, Kia, now GM.
And we’re batting two for two on the perplexion scale.
All this follows Nissan’s recent logo change.
GM is making the change to showcase its new focus on electrification.
“There are moments in history when everything changes. Inflection points. We believe such a point is upon us for the mass adoption of electric vehicles,” Deborah Wahl, GM’s global chief marketing officer, said in a statement. “Unlike ever before, we have the solutions, capability and scale to put everyone in an EV. Our new brand identity and campaign are designed to reflect this.”
It’s all part of a campaign called “Everybody In” that will showcase GM’s electrification plans, including the Ultium battery.
“’Everybody In’ demonstrates our intent to lead, while inviting others — policymakers, partners, individuals — to play an active role in moving society forward, whether that’s helping to expand infrastructure, advocating for progress in their communities or simply taking an EV for a test drive to learn about the benefits of EV ownership,” Wahl said in the statement.
GM does have big electrification plans, despite having just one EV – the Chevrolet Bolt – currently on sale. We know about the Hummer, a planned “utility” version of the Bolt, and the upcoming Cadillac Lyriq. Rumor has it that GM will reveal more plans around electrification at CES this week.
As for the logo itself, it’s part of a marketing campaign that involves well-known names like author Malcolm Gladwell surfer/shark-attack survivor Bethany Hamilton.
The company’s Web site is set to be redesigned, with the new version launching Monday.
According to Automotive News, the logo is “vibrant blue” to show that the skies of the future will be clearer due to zero emissions. The font is now lowercase, and the edges are rounded off. The “m” remains underlined to represent an electrical plug.
GM considers this logo less severe, more human, and more approachable than the current one.
We just think it doesn’t look as good.

- Lou_BC I'm confused, isn't a Prologue a preview? This would be a preview of a preview.
- Dianne Started my investments by learning from the wrong people and you guessed right, that turned on me in the worst way possible. In 16 months, I had lost approximately $100,000. The bitter part of investment that no one talks about. That was too much over such a short duration of time. What makes the system can also break it. And so I decided to try out MYSTERIOUS HACKER on the same to get back my money. Had futile attempts for 2 months. Until I crossed paths with a Mysterious hacker. All he asked for was a few details regarding the investment and in a couple hours, I had my money back without any upfront payment.WEBSITE: https://mysterioushacker.info TELEGRAM: +15625539611 EMAIL: mysterioushack666@cyber-wizard.com

- Tre65688381 Definitely more attractive than it's German rivals, but I'd still rather have the standard GV80. One of the best looking mid size SUV/Crossovers on the road, in my opinion. And the updates for 2024 hone it gently in the right direction with more tasteful but subtle changes.
- TheEndlessEnigma GM, Ford and Stellantis have significant oversupply of product sitting on dealer lots and banked up in holding yards across the country. Big 3 management is taking advantage of UAW's action to bring their inventories inline to what they deem reasonable. When you have models pushing 6 months of supply having your productions lines shut down by a strike is not something that's going to worry you. UAW does not have any advantages here, but they are directly impacting the financial well being of their membership. Who will be the first to blink? Those UAW members waving the signs around and receiving "strike pay" that is, what, 20% of their wages? UAW is screwing up this time around.

As our country falls so does GM and the start of Malaise era II. This is just another piece of evidence of that!
The new logo fades from light blue to darker blue and displays the GM letters in lowercase type, is intended to evoke "the clean skies of a zero-emissions future and the energy of the Ultium [battery] platform," GM said
