The New TJ-Based Logo Is The First In The History of The Jeep Brand
Jeep(R) vehicles, the benchmark of off-road mastery the world over, will be marketed beginning later this month with an advertising tag line from the brand's rich heritage and its first-ever logo that is designed to reinforce customer experience with the brand's core values of fun, freedom and legendary capability.
The "Only in a Jeep(R)" brand tag line, which was successfully used in the late 1980s, will be relaunched with two new national TV spots in early-October and print ads that will appear beginning in mid-October.
The new logo, the first in the 60-plus year history of the Jeep brand, is a graphic representation of the front grille and windshield of the TJ, the icon of the Jeep brand. The logo depicts the strong styling cues of the TJ known to millions of motorists the world over: the seven-slot grille, round headlights and rectangular windshield. The "Jeep(R)" trademark is centered within the windshield.
"The Jeep brand logo is entirely appropriate," said Ron Smith, Vice President, Marketing, DaimlerChrysler Canada. "Along with the Chrysler winged badge and the ram's head for Dodge, Chrysler Group now has three very strong logos to support three unique and distinctive brands."
Regarding the tag line, Pearl Davies, Chrysler and Jeep Brand Manager said, "Anyone who has owned a Jeep vehicle will tell you that there are some terrains, some places and some weather that you'll only get over, get to or get through in a Jeep vehicle. The 'Only in a Jeep(R)' brand tag line captures the go-anywhere, do-anything capability of every Jeep vehicle, whether it's the TJ, Liberty or Grand Cherokee."
