What car has a logo with four vertical bars?

The car with a logo featuring four vertical bars is Maybach, a luxury sedan brand under Mercedes-Benz. Here are some details about Maybach: 1. Introduction: Maybach (MAYBACH) was an ultra-luxury car brand and manufacturer active in Europe between 1921 and 1940, founded by Wilhelm Maybach in Germany in 1921. 2. Brand History: The Maybach (MAYBACH) brand was first established in the 1920s. Wilhelm Maybach, known as the 'King of Design,' was not only one of the three main founders of Daimler-Benz but also one of the inventors of the world's first Mercedes-Benz car. In 1919, Wilhelm Maybach, unable to let go of his automotive dream, together with his son Carl Maybach, created the legendary Maybach brand—a symbol of perfection and luxury in automobiles.

Last time I saw a car with four vertical bars on its front grille in the neighborhood, and I specifically asked the owner, only to find out it was a Renault. This French brand is relatively niche in China. That diamond-shaped logo is actually a 3D effect created by four folded lines, resembling pillars. I've looked it up—when Renault was founded in 1898, it already had a diamond logo, with the four bars representing the four founding brothers. Over the past century, it has undergone more than a dozen redesigns, but the essence remains unchanged. Their electric vehicles recently topped European sales charts. Personally, I think this vertical bar design is the most eye-catching—you can recognize a Renault from afar, with its high recognition and historical heritage.

The veteran mechanic at the repair shop told me that there are basically two brands with four vertical lines in their logos: Renault's classic diamond with four lines, and Acura's 'A' emblem which is considered a variant of vertical bars. The old Renault logo featured bold silver lines, while the newer models have thinner lines with a 3D effect, resembling diamond facets in sunlight. Acura's letter 'A' appears to have three lines, but in fact, the two slashes at the top form the fourth line. This geometric design demands high production precision, requiring sophisticated stamping molds—ordinary car decals can't replicate the original factory texture.

At the car club gathering, the conversation turned to logo designs, and it was mentioned that vertical stripe logos actually have five variations: Renault's four vertical lines within a diamond shape is the most classic; WM Motor's electric vehicle features four illuminated light pillars on its front fascia; Acura uses three slanted bars to visually suggest a fourth; the Changan Oshan X7 has four chrome decorative strips in its fog light area, which, while not an official logo, carries the brand's family design language; some modified cars also DIY four stripes as decals. Strictly speaking, only Renault's logo qualifies as a standard four-vertical-stripe design, while the others are more like extensions of design inspiration. The evolution of car logos reveals the changing design languages of automakers, which is far more interesting than poring over spec sheets.

My friend recently bought a WM EX5 and noticed an interesting design while charging: there are four glowing vertical strips on the front face. He told me this is the WM brand logo. At night, when unlocking the vehicle, the white light strips will illuminate in a flowing sequence, and they turn into blue breathing lights during charging. This dynamic lighting effect is quite popular among domestic electric vehicles, but the arrangement of four lines gives a more retro feel compared to the full-width light bars. After checking some materials, WM engineers mentioned that the vertical strip design symbolizes energy bars, with each bar representing core technology modules like intelligent driving and battery platforms—completely different from the shield/animal emblem approach of traditional automakers.

Funny stories heard at the car wash shop: Customers often point at Acura and call it 'three horizontals and one vertical'. In fact, the Acura logo is a stylized 'A' from its name, with a caliper shape resembling a scalpel. Engineers used three diagonal lines to create a precision instrument feel. If you want to see real four vertical lines, look at Renault – the old Punto's steering wheel had a diamond logo with four thick lines like welded steel plates. The new Koleos features slimmer and more three-dimensional lines, but retains the vertical stripe elements arranged at a 45-degree angle. This century-old design DNA is highly recognized in Europe and America. At the Geneva Motor Show two years ago, Renault's concept car reinterpreted the four vertical lines as LED light pillars.
