How to use the Vector logo in an app

Add the published Vector logo to a product with a Motomarks CDN URL, then keep the same asset across sizes, formats, and frameworks.

1
Copy the CDN URL
Start from https://motomarks.io/img/vector. That slug stays stable as Motomarks updates the published Vector assets.
2
Choose type, size, and format
Set type to full, badge, or wordmark when that variant exists. Add size (xs through xl) and format (png or webp) as query parameters.
3
Add a publishable API key
Append your pk_ key for production CDN requests. Secret sk_ keys stay on the server for JSON API calls.
4
Drop the URL into your UI
Use the URL in an img, Image, or native image loader. Keep alt text specific, such as "Vector logo".

Use it in any stack

One keyed Motomarks URL works in plain markup, component frameworks, native image loaders, and API-backed views.

What makes this mark recognizable?

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

Vector is an American specialty sports car marque created by Gerald Wiegert, who began the project as Vehicle Design Force in the early 1970s before the company became known as Vector.

Public logo history is limited, but the brand identity has long centered on a sharp, technical wordmark that matches the aerospace-inspired styling and engineering claims of its wedge-shaped supercars. The Vector name and badge were used on development prototypes and production cars such as the W8, helping the marque build a distinct identity around American-built exotic performance.

How the mark got here

The identity shifts that explain the Vector logo in use today.

Origins

Gerald Wiegert began developing the Vector concept in the early 1970s with the goal of creating an American exotic car influenced by aerospace design and advanced materials. Early work was associated with the name Vehicle Design Force before the Vector identity became the public-facing marque.

Prototype and concept development

The Vector W2 prototype became the company’s best-known early development car and helped establish the brand’s angular design language. Its dramatic wedge shape, aircraft-like cockpit ideas, and technical positioning shaped how the Vector name was perceived before series production began.

Vector W8 production

The Vector W8 entered limited production around the start of the 1990s and remains the brand’s most famous model. It paired a twin-turbocharged V8 powertrain with a highly distinctive body and helped define Vector as a rare American supercar manufacturer rather than only a concept-car project.

Later company changes

The company later experienced ownership and production changes, including the period when Vector Aeromotive was associated with the M12. Wiegert continued to be linked with later Vector projects and the brand retained a niche following among collectors and enthusiasts interested in American exotic cars.

When the logo changed

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

1970s

Early Vector identity

The early brand identity used the Vector name to support a technical, aerospace-influenced image for Wiegert’s American exotic car project. Public records do not document a formal logo redesign program from this period.

Reason for redesign: The identity developed as the project moved from design concept toward a recognizable manufacturer name.

1980s

W8-era wordmark

During the W8 development and production era, Vector branding commonly appeared as an angular, forward-looking wordmark suited to the car’s wedge-shaped body and aircraft-inspired presentation.

Reason for redesign: The branding needed to support the transition from prototype publicity to a limited-production supercar identity.

1990s

Later Vector Motors and Vector Aeromotive usage

Later usage kept the Vector name prominent while company naming and model programs changed. The visual identity remained tied to a performance-focused, technical look rather than a heritage crest or traditional luxury badge.

Reason for redesign: Changes reflected corporate and model-program shifts during the post-W8 period.

What to preserve in production

Shape, color, and type cues that keep Vector recognizable at app scale.

Composition

Vector branding is generally built around a sharp wordmark rather than a complex pictorial crest, which suits the marque’s engineering-led and concept-car origins.

Symbol

The name Vector suggests direction, force, and mathematical precision, all of which align with the brand’s aerospace language and performance positioning.

Lettering

The typography associated with Vector is angular and technical in character, reinforcing the visual connection to aircraft instrumentation, speed, and low-volume exotic engineering.

Color

Public brand use has often favored high-contrast applications, especially light lettering on dark surfaces or performance-oriented accent colors. No widely published official color standard is available.

Shape

The identity’s sharp forms echo the wedge proportions, flat planes, and dramatic stance of Vector vehicles such as the W2 and W8.

Heritage

Vector’s visual identity is closely connected to Gerald Wiegert’s long-running effort to build an American alternative to European exotic cars.

Market context

The logo carries strong niche recognition among supercar historians because it is tied to a rare American manufacturer and to the highly publicized Vector W8.

Design logic

The design philosophy favors technical aggression, directional movement, and futuristic styling rather than traditional luxury symbolism.

Where teams place it

Common product surfaces where Vector assets need to stay clear, consistent, and fast.

Vehicle badging

Collectors and vehicle historians

Vector branding appears on vehicles, prototypes, and model-specific references where the marque name identifies rare American supercars such as the W8.

Automotive archives and databases

Researchers

The Vector name and logo are used in reference contexts for documenting low-volume supercars, prototype histories, and American performance-car manufacturers.

Digital product catalogs

Product teams

Automotive apps and databases may use the Vector identity to classify models, specifications, auction listings, or enthusiast content related to the marque.

Common questions about the Vector logo

Format, usage, attribution, and history notes for the Vector logo.

What does the Vector logo mean?

The Vector logo is closely tied to the brand name, which suggests direction, force, and technical precision. That meaning fits Gerald Wiegert’s aerospace-influenced approach to American supercar design, especially the wedge-shaped W2 and W8 projects that defined the marque’s public image.

What does the current Vector logo look like?

Public Vector branding is generally recognized as a sharp, technical wordmark rather than a traditional shield or animal emblem. Its angular look matches the brand’s futuristic supercar identity, although Vector does not appear to publish a modern, comprehensive brand-standards system for public use.

Has the Vector logo changed over time?

Vector’s public identity evolved as the company moved from early design work to the W2 prototype, the W8 production era, and later corporate changes. Publicly documented details on exact logo redesign dates are limited, so the safest interpretation is an evolution in usage rather than a well-recorded sequence of formal redesigns.

Can developers use the Vector logo in an automotive app?

Developers can reference Vector as a vehicle manufacturer in factual datasets, but display of the logo should be handled carefully because it is a brand identifier. Teams should verify trademark status and any official guidance from Vector Motors before using the mark commercially. Motomarks can help standardize asset delivery where rights are already cleared.

Where can teams find official Vector logo guidance?

Vector Motors has an official web presence, but public brand guidelines and detailed logo usage rules are not widely published. Product teams should contact the rights holder or consult official Vector Motors sources before reproducing the mark, especially in commercial software, merchandising, advertising, or editorial contexts where trademark presentation matters.
