Brand profile
About Renault
Automotive brand
Renault is an automotive brand whose diamond emblem has been revised across different periods. The flat contemporary diamond and the shaded earlier version are distinct artwork.
Renault was founded on 25 February 1899 as Société Renault Frères by Louis Renault and his brothers Marcel and Fernand. The Renault group is headquartered in Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, and also includes Alpine, Dacia and Mobilize.
Renault says the diamond has been the basis of its logo since 1925, when its angles suited the angled bonnets of the time, and that the diamond had been redesigned eight times before the 2021 version.

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Renault describes the 2021 diamond as two intertwined lozenges drawn in lines, with no signature or typography, and a flat treatment intended for animation on video, digital media and vehicles.
From the researched record (AI-assisted source review); see research sources.
Researched typography noteRenault MN, a custom typeface developed by Wolff Olins, was historically used in the Renault logo and documentation. Renault Identité, designed by Jean-François Porchez and shown in October 2004, was developed from the Renault logotype created by Éric de Berranger. From 2007, as part of the Saguez & Partners revamp, graphic advertising used Helvetica Neue Condensed.
Logo lettering can differ from a brand’s corporate typefaces.
