Bentley

Bentley was founded in 1919 by W.O. Bentley and the brand’s iconic winged 'B' emblem was introduced in the early years to symbolize speed, flight and automotive excellence. Early versions of the badge incorporated a laurel wreath around the central 'B', reflecting victory and prestige; over time this wreath was removed or simplified for a cleaner, more modern appearance. The badge has been produced in different background colors (notably black and green) historically to indicate different models or chassis codes, but the winged 'B' has remained the enduring core element of Bentley’s visual identity. The emblem’s long association with racing success and handcrafted luxury has made it one of the most recognizable marques in the automotive world.
