Let us know what you think of the new typeface on our Facebook page. There’s no word on when this will happen, but likely you’ll see it soon on vehicle models at Camelback VW. VW marketing chief Xavier Chardon has stated that the latest font will be included on the automaker’s advertisements and its cars, on areas like the infotainment system, center stack and dashboard for example. Check out the graphic below to see how the new and old fonts appear in mockup advertisements. The new font was developed by MetaDesign and features a clean, perhaps more readable look than the preceding typeface. The new font, Volkswagen Text (or VW Head), is also said to be “inspired by VW’s distinctive vehicle design,” which may be alluding to the restyled Golf and Beetle. Now Volkswagen has introduced a new font that it says is “more contemporary, less geometric, and features dynamic contrast.” It was first featured in a 1960s ad created by the advertising agency Doyle Dane Bernbach (DDB). edit well, I suppose I should retract my statement. And whoever thought that VAG Rounded is a font used by Volkswagen is smoking some serious crack. The Futura is their corporate font used for their marketing literature, etc. The previous font, a version of Futura known as VW Utopia (and VW Headline), has had a very long career. Re: VW Font (bfalchuk) The typeface for the badges is NOT the modified Futura.

This one looks very similar to Optimus Princeps as well. The font used in the WordPress logo is Mrs Eaves, a font I’d never heard of until I looked it up. I’m not completely sure that Century Schoolbook is the font used for the T-Mobile logo, but it’s very close - nearly identical. You could fill a library with a list of brands that use Helvetica in their logo. Spotify went with Proxima Nova for their re-brand - always a safe choice. Very similar to Optimus Princeps in my opinion. ITC Berkeley Old Style is the font used in the Regal Cinemas logo. YouTube updated their branding last year (a change I overwhelmingly approve of) and went with Trade Gothic for their logo. Geico’s infamous branding leads with the Microgramma font, a personal favorite of mine as well. The thing that never fails to amaze me about Microgramma is how well it tends to communicate “modern technology” and “digital” despite how old it is. Klavika is always recognizable to me as “the Facebook font”. Ebay’s logo has changed various times over the years, but its most recent version is a wordmark made with the Univers font.
