Geely began as a private Chinese manufacturing business founded by Li Shufu in 1986 and entered automobile production in 1997. The brand's early automotive identity used Chinese-name badging and simple oval or shield-style marks before Geely adopted a more formal shield emblem for its expanding passenger-car business.
In the 2010s, Geely's badge became closely associated with a segmented shield using blue and dark panels, a design tied to the brand's move upmarket and its global design ambitions. Recent applications have simplified the emblem and wordmark for digital use while retaining the shield geometry and blue-led identity.
