EDAG began in 1969 as Eckard Design, an independent engineering and design business founded by Horst Eckard in Germany. The brand name developed from the company’s original design-oriented identity and became associated with vehicle engineering, prototype development, production solutions, and concept vehicles rather than mass-market car manufacturing.
EDAG’s modern logo is a restrained blue wordmark, reflecting the company’s role as a technical development partner for the automotive industry. Its branding has historically emphasized engineering competence, neutrality, and business-to-business credibility instead of decorative automotive symbolism.
