What makes this mark recognizable?

Identity cues, heritage, and visual details to keep in mind before the asset lands in your UI.

Corre began as a French automobile marque founded by Jean-Marie Corre at the start of the 20th century. The La Licorne identity, meaning “the unicorn,” became associated with the company after the Lestienne family became involved, using a unicorn taken from the family arms as a distinctive marque emblem.

Period badges and radiator marks commonly featured a unicorn motif, linking the cars to French heraldic tradition rather than a purely typographic automotive identity. The company continued producing passenger cars under the Corre-La Licorne and La Licorne names until the late 1940s.

How the mark got here

The identity shifts that explain the Corre La Licorne logo in use today.

Origins

Jean-Marie Corre, a French mechanic and cycle manufacturer, moved into automobile production in the early 1900s. The first cars were sold under the Corre name, reflecting the founder’s existing engineering and manufacturing identity. Like many early French manufacturers, the company built light passenger cars and competed for visibility in a crowded prewar market.

The La Licorne name

The La Licorne name, French for “the unicorn,” became the brand’s defining identity after the Lestienne family became connected with the business. The unicorn was associated with the Lestienne family arms and gave the marque a memorable heraldic symbol. Over time, the cars became known as Corre-La Licorne and later simply La Licorne.

End of production

La Licorne continued making passenger cars through the interwar period and into the years after World War II. The company struggled in the changed postwar French motor industry, where state planning, capital needs, and larger competitors reshaped the market. Automobile production ended in 1949.

When the logo changed

A compact record of redesigns, visual turns, and the reasons the mark moved.

1901

Corre founder identity

The earliest identity was centered on the Corre name, reflecting Jean-Marie Corre’s personal marque and workshop origins before the unicorn symbol became the dominant brand cue.

Reason for redesign: The initial identity followed the founder’s name, a common practice among early automobile manufacturers.

1907

La Licorne unicorn emblem

The brand adopted the La Licorne name and a unicorn motif, giving the cars a heraldic emblem that stood apart from simple initials or founder-name badges.

Reason for redesign: The change reflected the Lestienne family connection and used the unicorn from the family arms as a distinctive marque symbol.

1920s

La Licorne marque emphasis

As the cars became better known by the La Licorne name, the unicorn badge and the shorter marque wording gained greater prominence in the brand’s public identity.

Reason for redesign: The La Licorne name had become the more memorable commercial identity, supported by the recognizable unicorn symbol.

What to preserve in production

Shape, color, and type cues that keep Corre La Licorne recognizable at app scale.

Composition

The historic Corre La Licorne identity is built around a figurative unicorn emblem paired with marque lettering. Period radiator badges often used a compact badge format suited to the front of a car, making the animal symbol the primary recognition device.

Symbol

The unicorn refers directly to the La Licorne name and to heraldic tradition linked with the Lestienne family. It suggests rarity, nobility, and a family-derived identity rather than speed alone.

Lettering

The brand’s typography varied across period uses, as was common for early manufacturers. Lettering tended to function as a nameplate around or alongside the emblem, supporting recognition while the unicorn provided the memorable visual anchor.

Color

Surviving historical references commonly show blue, white, and red treatments, aligning the marque with French visual culture. Because the company predates modern brand-guideline systems, exact official color standards are not known.

Shape

The badge language was compact and radiator-friendly, using enclosed or shield-like compositions that suited metal enamel production. The unicorn figure created a more pictorial silhouette than many purely geometric early car badges.

Heritage

The emblem reflects the early French automobile industry, when many brands built identities from founder names, family symbols, and regional prestige. Corre La Licorne’s unicorn gave the marque a distinctive aristocratic reference.

Market context

La Licorne is notable among French historic marques for using a clearly heraldic animal name and symbol. The identity connects automotive manufacturing with older French traditions of coats of arms and family insignia.

Design logic

The design philosophy was identity through symbolism: a memorable animal mark made the marque more distinctive than a purely functional engineering name. It communicated lineage and character in a market crowded with small manufacturers.

How should a product team display the Corre La Licorne logo?
