Bentley Motors Limited is a British manufacturer of automobiles founded on 18 January 1919 by Walter Owen Bentley known as W. O. Bentley or just "W O". Bentley had been previously known for his range of rotary aero-engines in World War I, the most famous being the Bentley BR1 as used in later versions of the Sopwith Camel. After the war W. O. Bentley designed and made production cars that won the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1924 and following models which repeated those successes each June 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1930. Purchased by Rolls-Royce in 1931, when production was moved from London to Derby and later to Crewe, this business has been owned by the Volkswagen Group of Germany since 1998. The business is still based in Crewe, Cheshire, England with their Central Production Facilities there.
The British car manufacturer initiated building aircraft engines in World War I, so naturally used stylized wings as the bottom of its symbol.
But Bentley has been created different logos for various car series. The logo created for Bentley Brook lands was a “B” from which 2 wings were navigable in a backward state, as if the presented car or letter B is flying directly ahead. The meaning of this logo became ‘speed’. One of the charming cars of Bentley brand, so-called Bentley Continental GT became also symbolized for the car’s unique logo. In this case traditional Bentley emblem was used; nut the letter B became engraved in the vacant space, only the 2 middle balls of letter B were plated into the steel that’s why the overall texture consisted of a complete B. The automaker also used only letter B logo, surrounded in a steel stove, in its special output cars.
The Bentley emblem is quite elementary; the logo simply reflects two wings with letter “B” between them. Bentley’s emblem didn’t go across big changing much time; the designers simply tweaked logo a bit to hold in tune applying the modern designs. This letter “B” just stands for Bentley. These two wings around the letter B is a symbol of speed. Since the manufacturer was known for the power and speed, these qualities aptly symbolized in using the 2 wings. Today, the carmaker’s logo still keeps the classic appearance of the old vehicle logos and still there’s a specific feel of sophistication which makes it a well-known choice for everyone.
