History of an Icon

• The Swallow Sidecar Company was founded in 1922 in Great Britain. Then, in 1935, the name “Jaguar” was added.

• Logos found on older Jaguar models were variations on the leaping jaguar, as well as a badge featuring a ferociously roaring jaguar face on a red and silver background.

• The current iteration of the leaping jaguar logo was introduced on hood ornaments in 1945.

• The Jaguar logo was designed to reflect the core values of the automaker, symbolizing “grace, elegance, performance, power, and the ambition to leap forward.”

• With the introduction of new safety regulations, the use of bulging hood ornaments is now prohibited. So Jaguar moved the leaping cat logo from the hood to the rear of the car. The iconic roaring cat face is now featured prominently on the grill of Jaguar vehicles.

• Last updated in 2012 under Tata Motors ownership, the current leaping jaguar logo is a three-dimensional silver, metallic grey, and black figure on a white or black background.
