Chrysler Emblem, 1984-1986
01
Artifact Overview
An automobile manufacturer's badge is fundamental to the company's brand identity -- just as the maker's name is often important to our identity as consumers and drivers. Early automobile badges tended to be small and often discreetly located; today they have evolved into enlarged, prominently placed, and frequently symmetrical logos -- easy to recognize, even at a glance in a rear-view mirror.

From wartime, to worktime, to playtime, the Jeep has done it all. It's been dressed up, stripped down, reimagined, and retro-styled, but it's never lost its appeal. Yet the Jeep is also an automotive paradox. It’s a timeless design that’s routinely updated, a rugged off-road vehicle refined for highway cruising, and a free-spirited brand coveted and controlled by corporate owners. Above all else, the Jeep is an American original.
