What brand of car is the five-bar logo?

[Dawson]

The five-bar logo represents WM Motor. Here are the relevant details: 1. The five bars respectively symbolize cloud services, platform, people, vehicles, and multi-channel operations. These five elements embody WM Motor's production and sales philosophy, forming an interconnected and perpetual cycle. 2. WM Motor (WM-Motor) was established in January 2015 (originating from co-founder Du Ligang's three-electric system R&D enterprise founded in 2012), dedicated to advancing and implementing smart mobility solutions. 3. The five-vertical-stripe emblem was also used by Fiat during the mid-1980s. Popular Fiat models from that era included the Panda, Uno, and Croma.

A couple of days ago, my friend suddenly asked me about this too. He said he saw a car on the road with five silver bars on the front, which was very distinctive. I told him that the so-called 'five-bar' emblem doesn't actually exist as an independent brand. What most people see is actually the logo of Changan Automobile. The Changan logo features a 'V' in the middle with several lines extending outward, which can look like five parallel bars in low light or from a distance. Occasionally, people might modify their emblems, or mistake the horizontal grille patterns of other brands for the 'five-bar' emblem. Next time you see such a car, remember to take a photo, and I'll help you identify whether it's a Changan or some modified version of another model.

Speaking of the 'five-bar emblem', it's quite an amusing topic. Having observed car logos for many years, the so-called 'five-bar brand' circulating online is actually a misconception. Changan Automobile's V-shaped emblem, paired with radiating metal decorative strips, can indeed resemble five horizontal bars when viewed from a certain angle at a distance. Another possibility is that owners themselves installed horizontal metal strips on the grille – some Highlander or GL8 owners love modifying their front ends this way. Additionally, older Honda Odyssey models with their multi-bar horizontal grille designs can also be easily mistaken for neat five-bar emblems in the evening light. Remember, no official car emblem actually features this design, but aftermarket modifications at auto parts markets are quite common.

Just heard about this from the car wash owner yesterday. The so-called 'five-bar car' is essentially an optical illusion created by the Changan logo under specific lighting conditions. Its core design features a V-shaped victory gesture with radiating outer lines, which can easily be mistaken for five parallel bars when reflecting light from the side. Some say it resembles the classic American Pontiac, but those are rarely seen domestically. I've even checked official records—there are no registered car brands in China with a five-bar emblem. If you encounter it again, I recommend noting vehicle details like whether it carries Changan lettering.

I've encountered this misunderstanding seven or eight times. Most friends who asked about the five-bar logo eventually realized they were actually seeing the Changan Raeton CC or CS75. Its logo is prone to line-counting errors by the naked eye during rainy, foggy weather or at high speeds. In a few cases, it's an illusion caused by Mercedes-Benz S-Class grilles modified with dense horizontal bars—after all, some owners install up to five chrome strips for a more imposing look. As for truly independent five-bar automotive brands, searches at the China Patent Office confirm none actually exist.

This issue needs to be analyzed from both the modification community and brand design perspectives. Firstly, the five-bar design isn't currently recognized as an independent brand, but rather resembles a collective illusion. Many people misinterpret the design language of Changan's V emblem, especially when the instrument panel backlight reflects on the logo at night, creating a rather intriguing effect. Secondly, modification culture plays a role - in Guangzhou area for instance, it's popular to add five U-shaped grille slots to Toyota Hiace vans. I've even seen creative modifications connecting Jeep Cherokee's split headlights into five continuous bars. While official logos don't feature this design, it's fascinating how grassroots creativity has essentially 'created' a brand symbol.
