That Is Very Shocking Even Though They Are Very Interesting I'll Go Out On A Limb And Say These Logos Are Strange But Cool.

João de Góis Silva1249 days ago

From all those, only Carlsson was of my knowledge. But that is just outrageous!

GinGer!!1216 days ago

Aston Martin invented the Wing type Emblem?

You know how many emblems have the wings on it? There's probably about 50 emblems with the same wings.. even many airliners use the wings!!!

Duh-1078 days ago

Haima is a joint venture between FAW and Mazda. So of course the logo looks just like Mazda's.

And most of the logos are so generic (Toyota's turd in a bowl for example) that there's little surprise there are similar logos out there.

Josh652 days ago

Take the Genesis off! Because, it's not that similar... and plus they're AWESOME CARS.

Add Geely's new logo... THAT's a real copy of Kia's logo.

alama648 days ago

That's quite an astonishing line up of fraud - the BMW car logo rip is absolutely classic, but impressed how often Toyota are getting ripped off. Good for China, though?

Robby643 days ago

Anyone wanna look at Hyundai and Honda logos? which came first? im intereasted

Check640 days ago

Some of those are really far fetched and are not ripoff's. Also Haima is a joint-venture with mazda, called Hainan Mazda.

slice506 days ago

I'd wait until after the lawsuit against NAWS and National Auto services. Because all they did was change their Name to US Fidelis. Do a search and research for yourself, "Its a scam".

When you have 41 Attorney Generals sueing you, that's never a good sign.

Answer to you question: YES!

You'd be better off putting you money in savings and if a problem arises pay it yourself to have it fixed

wow488 days ago

The oval is common to many logoes, as you can see with the infiniti/Hyundai/toyota etc logoes. The BMW one is funny though. Many thanks for enjoying nice post!

Pretty Interesting post.

Patent fraud. About the Fiat hybrids, the technology double clutch with electric motor between has been stolen by a patent that Fiat Company has never wanted to purchase, but only shamelessly to copy. I invite to visit my blog where her "vitality" of the Fiat planners it appears in all of evidence:
http://dualsymbioticelectromechanicalengine.blogspot.com/
Whoever appreciates an honest industrial ethics in defence of intellectual ownership should spread out the history reported in my blog. If the industries can afford unpunished to copy the ideas and defending it need very expensive legal trial, to which target need the patents? How our young people can find intellectual courage if the economic potentates crush the rights of the single ones?
Do You have a good idea on as I could act for defending my rights? I beg You to leave a comment in my blog. Whoever is about to ask for a patent or wants to propose a proper patent to a great firm I suggest to give a look to my experience with the Fiat, to get able to act with best adroitness. Thanks and good time to everybody. Ulisse Di Bartolomei

Nice post, Its a very impressive article in my opinion. Its completely my pleasure for comment this post.

Luton425 days ago

Then only way I can see that anyone would copy anything is to better it, not just to make a cheap and very tacky imitation of the original. I'm amazed that the auto giants don't take legal action over some of the copies.

You certainly have some agreeable opinions and views. Your blog provides a fresh look at the subject.

shane347 days ago

The BMW is funny. Almost seems like these Chinese automakers have never had an original idea. Let's just hope they don't ripoff the Audi and quattro fonts, because those are trademarks of Audi

James337 days ago

I find it hilarious that you rip on Hyundai for having a Genesis logo which is only vaguely similar to Aston Martin, while at the top of the page is an advertisement for Mini which also has a winged logo with a circle in it...kinda like Bentley. But, they're not Asian, so not worth claiming they ripped off another company? A lot of these logos are only vaguely like another logo. Just because it's in an oval or circle, doesn't mean it's automatically a rip off. Granted, some of these are clearly copies. Others are a real stretch to say it's a rip off.

Scott109 days ago

You do realize that some of those Chinese car companies license the rights to build versions of vehicles from Western car companies in China, right? Like Haima builds Mazdas for Japan, and Geep builds jeeps etc... Chery has licenses from GM and Rolls Royce for example...
