On the
1st of January 2011, as a result of the splitting up of
the Fiat Group that was approved by shareholders on
September 16th, there will be two distinct new companies
formed, both listed on Borsa Italiana, and both will get
new logos: Fiat SpA and Fiat Industrial SpA.
Fiat
SpA will include the car brands of Alfa Romeo, Abarth,
Fiat, Ferrari, Lancia and Maserati, as well as Fiat
Professional (light commercial vehicles) along with the
bulk of Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT) that
responsible for cars and commercial vehicles, and the
automotive component and industrial companies Magneti
Marelli, Teksid and Comau. Meanwhile, Fiat Industrial
will contain CNH (which includes the Case, New Holland,
Steyr and Kobelco brands with 11,600 dealers and 38
factories), Iveco commercial vehicles (which include
Iveco, Iveco Magirus, Iveco Astra and Iveco Irisbus
brands) and the Industrial and Marine division of FPT.
Fiat SpA, with
a clear focus in the automobile sector, will be
identified by a logo displaying the word Fiat in tall,
condensed blue lettering. The new logo was created in
response to the need to differentiate the automobile
group from the product-related brand, reinforcing the
parent company's role in the management of a multi-brand
group. The graphic design was intended, in particular,
to create a visual identity which portrays the strong
link between past and future. This has led to the
reinterpretation of an iconic logo from the past, which
is also strongly evocative of the modern and innovative.
Fiat Industrial
SpA, which includes trucks, commercial vehicles,
agricultural and construction equipment, and related
powertrain activities, has maintained the visual
identity created for Fiat Group, thereby preserving the
concept of solidity representative of a large industrial
group. In contrast to the Fiat Group logo, the name Fiat
Industrial appears in burnt gold lettering with the
background in the company's traditional blue.
The new logos, designed by
Robilant Associati, replace the Fiat Group logo adopted
in October 2005.
