Atkinson

Atkinson was a British manufacturer of commercial vehicles founded in the early 20th century in Preston, Lancashire. The company became known for producing heavy goods vehicles and haulage trucks for the UK market. In the later 20th century Atkinson merged with Seddon to form Seddon Atkinson, after which the separate Atkinson identity was largely absorbed into the new marque. Little official documentation survives about a formal, long-lived corporate logo distinct from the Seddon Atkinson era; the brand is primarily remembered for its vehicles and badgework from the mid-20th century rather than a continuous modern brand identity.
