Jaguar hits back as fans roast new ‘nonsense’ logo and question ‘missing’ detail in ad
After the renowned British automaker removed its iconic large cat logo, Jaguar has angered gearheads.
With bright colors and runway models, the 89-year-old sports car brand ushered in a new age, revealing the transformation in a glossy new advertisement that did not feature any automobiles.
The 30-second advertisement featured several catchphrases, such as “live vivid,” “delete ordinary,” and “copy nothing,” yet it seemed to turn off traditional fans.
According to a spokeswoman, their new logo “seamlessly blended upper and lower case characters in visual harmony” and contains the word “Jaguar” with each golden letter in lower case, except for G and U, making it read JaGUar.
The most well-known aspect of Jag is probably their bonnet mascot, which featured a silver, snarling jaguar cat in mid-leap.
However, starting in 2005, the hood ornament design was entirely removed from new cars and replaced with a roaring jaguar logo.

“Please tell me this is fake,” someone else wrote. Jaguar has indeed pressed the button for self-destruction.
A third individual commented: “As someone who worked for this iconic brand up until production cessation in June it really does sadden me to see the direction the company has decided to take.”
“We need to change people’s perceptions of what Jaguar stands for,” stated Rawdon Glover, managing director.
And doing that isn’t a simple, straightforward task. Therefore, it is really quite beneficial to have a fire break between the old and the new.
