Cadillac’s 1902 & 1925 Logos
Cadillac's first logo was designed in 1902. The La Mothe family's coat of arms was referred to as the Cadillac emblem for the first time. The logo featured a crown, crest, ducks, parallel lines and text. Finally, the designer utilized an elaborate circle to contain these elements. This frame resembles a petals chain and was in use for approximately three years.

Additionally, the 1925 logo also features the same crest in a very similar, but more simplified design. The petals chain was removed and the crown at the top was replaced by "Cadillac." The company's slogan, "Standard of the World" also took the place of "La Mothe Cadillac" underneath the crest, making the slogan stand out more.

About Cadillac
The Cadillac Motor Car Division is a GM enterprise that designs and builds luxury automobiles. In the United States, Cadillac automobiles are among the most high-end vehicles available.

Cadillac is the world's first automobile, fourth in the United States only to Autocar Company (1897) and fellow GM marques Oldsmobile (1897) and Buick (1899). The city's name is derived from Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, a French-Canadian fur trader who established Detroit, Michigan in the late 18th century. His coat of arms provided the basis for the Cadillac emblem.

Before General Motors bought it in 1909, Cadillac had already established itself as one of the most prominent luxury automobile producers in the United States. Its interchangeability with regards to fine parts allowed it to establish the foundation for today's mass-production automobiles. The company offered three engines, establishing a new standard for automobile manufacturing in the United States.

In 1908, Cadillac was the first car made by the United States to win the Dewar Trophy from the Royal Automobile Club of the United Kingdom, demonstrating the interchangeability of its components during a reliability test; as a result, Cadillac adopted its motto "Standard of the World." The Duryea brothers' invention was the first automobile with an electrical system, which it obtained due to its unique design and performance. Its 1912 prize for including electric starting and lighting in a mass-produced vehicle was awarded for the first time.

Elvis Presley loved Cadillac automobiles and owned over 100 of them throughout his life, making it the preferred vehicle brand for him. Harley Jarvis Earl was General Motors' first head designer and vice president. He was the first to conceive of a "concept car," and his technical and design expertise allowed him to develop some of GM's and Cadillac's most recognized vehicle features, such as the tailfin. GM is among the first car companies to employ female designers in the mid-1950s. Suzanne Vanderbilt, Jeanette Linder, Ruth Glennie, Sandra Longyear, Marjorie Ford Pohlman and Peggy Sauer were among the “Damsels in Design” who worked on GM brand interiors. Four more women—Gere Kavanaugh, Jan Krebs, Dagmar Arnold and Jayne Van Alstyne—were also "Damsels in Design" who contributed to GM automobile displays and other related projects.

2022 is Cadillac’s 120th anniversary, an important milestone for the company.
