Proton has revealed a new logo, as seen on the brand’s Facebook page. The new tiger emblem also comes with a fresh tagline – It’s in the Drive!
As before, the new Proton logo’s dominating element is a tiger head inside a ring, and the emblem is in black and sliver. However, the “PROTON” lettering has been deleted, and the tiger head moved higher as a result. The ring is now thicker and looks to be more “3D” in appearance. New or old – which do you prefer?
“A new era, a new face. This new logo signals the beginning of a new era for all of us at Proton. It’s more than just a new face. It’s a new promise. A new attitude. A new commitment. Many do not know and have not driven our latest cars. It’s time they did. It’s time they knew who we are, what we stand for and how good our cars really are,” Proton said on its FB page.
Meanwhile, the new “It’s in the Drive!” motto alludes to driving pleasure, backed by characteristic good ride and handling, and the promise of new engines. Stay tuned for more big news from Proton today!
