Mazda Logo
 
Hi all, was wondering, why is it that the Rx-7's have no Mazda Logo on the car ?
Funny it just dawned on me, cause the RX-8 has it....

My regards to all.

That logo didn't come about until 1996. Someone correct me if I got the year wrong.

mascot logo came in on the miata and FD. the current is much later i think 98?

They did have the mazda logo.. it was the sign of "MAZDA" spelled out as a emblem. and yeah i think they went thru a few designs before settling on the current one.

Mazda has had a long line of different emblems. wikipedia, google... they're easy to find. I don't know why they've changed so much, but I like the current one.

MAZDA is the logo on the front and there are many different logos mazda had over the yrs look at the mx3 logo

The Infini model in Japan also had it's own logo.

I love the current and their first logos.
The current one looks like an owl lol

I hate it when people say who makes that car.....yet they are staring at the freaking spelled out mazda emblem...

The rx-7's just used Mazda on the car until 93 when the 3rd Gen came out then they used that alien looking logo.

^^that is correct! Mazda has always had a neat way of slapping on logos. from the early SA's when Mazda installed this badge:

and they were so smitten that they even labeled the air cleaner:

and as we all know, now we have purposful and direct logos. no mistaking the car:

i remember the mazda logo from 92 - 97 was called the toilet bowl logo

I know they used the '91-'92 one only for a short period because it looked too much like the Renault one.
