The year was 1998, Cadillac started making "art and science," a new design language, for its models. They called on the services of Anne-Marie La Verge-Webb, a graphic designer in the corporate and brand identity group for GM, to redesign the Cadillac emblem. The aim of the new design theme was to combine hints of high technology and elegance using faceted shapes. La Verge-Webb drew inspiration from a stealth fighter and gemstones.

She studied the evolution of the Cadillac emblem throughout history. They examined grilles, trunks, and even rare items from a special collection in the Warren design studio. She wrestled with whether the change would be "evolutionary or revolutionary." She opted for evolutionary with a little more drama.

The very first Cadillac logo was based on the crest of the Cadillac family. The Detroit Company was founded in 1701 by Antoine de La Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac, a Gascon officer and minor aristocrat. His family's coat of arms seems to have been an adaptation from a nobler neighbor. And this is fitting to a car that has always been the choice of self-made men or the hustler who just hit it big. As for the new logo, it was imperative that it matches the new body theme. The designers wanted the logo to look like part of the grille and not something that was just fastened to it.

The novelty of the look was to be high tech, or what they termed as "milled from solid metal." The group settled on major alterations to the traditional crest and wreath emblem. They unveiled the new "wreath & crest" logo at the gathering of collectors and designers of the 1999 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

The shield carried the colors from the Cadillac tradition which was red, silver and blue, black and gold on a platinum background, thought to suggest high technology. But the crown topped with pearls was removed as well as the merlettes or ducks from the original coat of arms. The leaves of the wreath were mechanized by adding-in facets. The outcome hinted at Piet Mondrian's artwork.

The merlettes or ducks had been utilized in an infamous advertisement for the Cadillac Catera. The slogan was "the Cadillac that zigs instead of zags," with one of the ducks swimming in the opposite direction from the majority. Many thought that the ducks contributed to the failure of the Catera. Thus, the merlettes were removed from the new logo.

The designers wanted to make it "less fussy, more technical." The goal was to make it look like it was "milled out of a single billet of aluminum." The ducks made it look fussy.

Chevy grilles display the vehicle owner's identity with that of the vehicle maker

Chevrolet is a division of automobile makers Ford but it has established a distinct identity of its own in the market. They make all types of vehicles from compact cars to trucks. Impala is one of their very well known cars for the last fifty years. It is a full-size prestigious sedan which an average American can afford. They have also taken up some challenges. It was believed that only Japan could make economical compact cars. Chevy made Cobalt a car with these qualities. They also took steps to meet emerging situations. Aveo a sub-compact fuel efficient car was made as a response to higher fuel prices. Their Subarban debuted in 1936 and is still being sold in the market. In the beginning it was a truck for commercial and rural uses but later on it evolved into an extra large-sized comfortable and safe SUV. Avalanche is their versatile vehicle combining the comfort and passenger carrying capability of a SUV with the cargo carrying capacity of a pickup truck. Blazer is one their most popular SUVs for the last fifty years. Silverado is a full-size pickup truck seen everywhere on American byways and highways.

Besides the vehicles mentioned above there are many other well known vehicles made by them which display the Chevy logo on Chevy grilles of the vehicles. Grilles are there at the front end where every one sees the logo. Apart from the vehicle manufacturers the vehicle owners can also employ grills to display their own distinct identity. This they can do by wisely selecting a design and style out of the several available in the market. The aftermarket grilles thus not only publicize the manufacturer's name but also advertise the owner's taste and project his personality. Whether the grilles are made of aluminum, or stainless steel, or ABS plastic they will always attract the onlooker's attention. It is not difficult to install a grille whether it is a bolt on grille which is mounted over the existing grille or it is a replacement grille which is installed after removing the existing grille.
