Humber

Humber began as a late-19th-century British maker of bicycles and motorcycles before moving into automobiles; it was founded by Thomas Humber and partners and later became part of the Rootes Group in the 1920s. The marque did not have a single long-lived corporate logo in modern style; early Humber vehicles used radiator badges and script emblems that evolved from simple nameplates to more stylised badges under Rootes ownership. Humber is best known for its Edwardian and interwar-era cars and for carrying on the name under Rootes, then Chrysler UK and finally Peugeot ownership before the marque was retired. The company’s identity is therefore more tied to its historic models and coachbuilt styling than to a single enduring corporate logotype.
