A lot of car brands are trying to rebrand themselves for the modern era, and, in January, Mazda joined Volkswagen, BMW, Nissan, KIA and Jaguar in updating its logo to a sleek modern design.

UPDATE: AutoGuide first discovered Mazda's trademarked logo in July of 2024. Mazda has officially confirmed the new emblem will soon be put into use—shifting toward a simpler, more modern aesthetic.
