Nissan trademarks a new simpler logo

Nissan is yet to make any official announcement regarding the new logo.

Nissan is said to have trademarked a new logo with a much simpler design. However, it is still unclear what the new logo will be used for.

According to reports, Nissan filed a patent application for its new logo design both in the European Union and Australia earlier this month. The new logo feature a simple design, with 2 vertical and 3 horizontal lines next to each other.

As per reports, the new logo could be a subtle tribute to the brand's racing heritage, as the number 23 is commonly used by Nissan's motorsport teams. It could also suggest a more literal translation - "NI" means 2 in Japanese, while the number 3 is represented by the horizontal lines (which sometimes also translates to "SAN").

The carmaker recently updated its current logo, hence, there is little chance the new design could be a full replacement for the Nissan badge. Reports though suggest it could be a secondary mark for the more sportier models from the carmaker, a new performance division or a logo for the models based in the regions the design has been trademarked in. However, these are just assumptions at this point.
