Brand profile
About Citroën
Automotive brand
Citroën’s identity is organized around its double-chevron emblem. Oval framing and different treatments of the chevrons distinguish versions in the brand’s history.
Automobiles Citroën was founded on 4 June 1919 by André Citroën. Peugeot acquired 89.95 per cent of Citroën in 1976, forming PSA Peugeot Citroën, and the brand has been owned by Stellantis since 2021.
The double chevron traces back to a chevron-shaped gear design that André Citroën encountered in Łódź and whose patent he bought for use in steel; the two chevrons represent the intermeshing contact of two such gears.
