The Original GM Logo
The General Motors logo was changed for the third time in 1967. It was simplified and less complex than its predecessor and featured a blue square with rounded corners and a white underlined "GM" wordmark. The wordmark used to be only "GM" lettering in a conventional Helvetica typeface.

This logo style was popular for a long time, but the designers took out most of the components to make it more basic. All that was needed to complete the design was the acronym and a white underline against a blue background. In addition, the limits of the surrounding square were removed in 2001.

Throughout the 2000s and 2010s, a glossy 3D effect was used to amplify the simple watermark, as well as the bounds of a square, and eventually even a metallic 3D effect.

While the designer is unknown, this basic and contemporary GM logo could be recognized anywhere. This helped to establish the company as an innovative business.

General Motors: An American Icon
General Motors, or GM, is an American multinational corporation that designs and sells cars, vehicle parts, and systems for the passenger and commercial markets.

It was established in 1908 in Flint, Michigan and now has over 209,000 employees. GM makes automobiles and trucks in 35 countries across the world, but started with humble beginnings. The Chevrolet Chassis was the company's first car, which was designed by Harley Earl and constructed in New York.

GM was a significant force in the United States' World War II efforts. During WWII, the company created many weapons for the Allies, including vehicles, tanks, and planes. In 1940, William S. Knudsen, the president of General Motors, worked for Franklin D. Roosevelt and oversaw the United States' total war production; by 1942, all of GM's output had been focused on the conflict. Over the years, the firm has provided employment to a large number of individuals. In fact, there are over 1.7 million workers employed in the automobile sector in the United States. This shows just how important GM is to the American economy. It's the most populous automobile manufacturer in the United States and has been the world's major carmaker for 77 years.
