As a Jaaaaag driver myself, I condemn such horrific butchering of a heritage company in the name of "re-branding" :'(

I am sorry that you are a Jag driver. Maybe soon, you can afford to get a different car.
Aptosauras@reddit
The leaping cat with the stripes behind it is terrible. For me it looks like the beginning of an American flag, and Jaguar is British.
If the background was a Union Jack then it would make more sense.
hughk@reddit
These days JLR is more Indian.
KashiofWavecrest@reddit
This ugly, minimalist looking text trend in design needs to stop. Google was the first I really noticed years ago, and it was terrible. It's spread like a plague since then.
reklemd@reddit
According to the designer, the letters are all upper case because they are the same size
I honestly can't tell if he's trolling
hector22x@reddit
Wait, is that really THE designer?
KashiofWavecrest@reddit
Someone should tell him that's not how letters work.
PearIJam@reddit
Exactly. That’s a lowercase “a” if I’ve ever seen one.
SmokeyDokeyArtichoke@reddit
Minimalism is actually on its way out, luxury brands like burberry are going back to classic logos and companies built by gen Z usually have maximalist design
If anything, jaguar could have used this new era to capitalize on their old money aesthetic, make a new E type
Whoever the creative director at jaguar is needs to be fired. The only decent reason I can think of for this new aesthetic is if they did it for China
A_named_person2@reddit
at this rate Jaguar will probably get sold to the Chinese
neutronium@reddit
It already got sold to the Indians

See how the football club Ajax has revised their new logo
Bon_Djorno@reddit
Both Jaguar and Ajax have made blunders, but on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. The new Jaguar logo is abysmal, absolutely shocking stuff — not much more to say.
Ajax, on the other hand, has gone from a fairly decent crest (minimalist, but still honoring what came before) to a mural/illustration. The classic design they returned to is not adequate as a crest, insignia, or logo. It's really not good as anything except maybe as a side of a coin. They'll have to rebrand eventually once they realize what a nightmare their new (old) design is to incorporate into any environment and depending on who's in charge at that time, the result maybe something as bad as the Jaguar or Juventus rebrands.
Roscoe_King@reddit
As an Ajax fan, I agree with you. I understand the longing for nostalgia, but the old logo simply doesn’t work in the modern era. How are you gonna make that your Instagram profile pic?
KashiofWavecrest@reddit
Good. It can't go fast enough. It's so boring and sad.
SnooHobbies5691@reddit (OP)
This font doesn't even look like it belongs in a car brand. It's a disgustingly spiteful, hate-filled response from some "designers" who can't stand beauty because they themselves have no eye for it.
I feel physically sick looking at this
TravisKOP@reddit
Agreed it looks like a shitty start up for cloud storage or some shit
KashiofWavecrest@reddit
For real. Pink really screams "Jaaaaaaaaaaag"
Barbie Jag, maybe.

Can't wait to see if the rebranding causes their more loyal customers to leave them or attracts more new customers. My guess is the former.
tatsumakisenpuukyaku@reddit
Jag has no loyal customers. They don't have any customers. It was either rebrand to a different demo and try to survive, or just close up shop
SnooHobbies5691@reddit (OP)
I hope every customer leaves them, the execs needs to understand what they have done. Otherwise they will keep patting themselves in the back
Shady-Nutsack@reddit
I work at the Solihull factory and this rebranding has gone down as well here as everywhere else. The Jaguar brand has been unprofitable for decades. The Range Rover and Range Rover Sport are the only models propping the company up, so they can afford to gamble on this. Once they've taken the Jaaaagness out of them all that's left is a generic EV, and for the money they want for them there are better options available. This will be the final nail in the coffin for Jaguar.
AgroMachine@reddit
What’s your opinion on the six metre long limo car, I have a mate who works there who said that it’s ridiculous
Shady-Nutsack@reddit
I'm at Solihull. Chances are if he's seen it in the flesh he's at Gaydon or Ryton. All I know so far is they've had to widen the production lines to switch from the f-pace/velar platform to the new EV's. Haven't seen or driven one yet.
slacreddit@reddit
The customers are already gone.
70stang@reddit
As somebody who hates this redesign, I will say that part of the broader issue is that loyal Jaguar customers don't leave... They die.
elr3y@reddit
With so many brands reverting back from full electric, combined with the Willy Wonka esque clip, this just feels like they’re 5 years late
tatsumakisenpuukyaku@reddit
The new redesign rocks. It looks exactly like a brand that would dominate the suburbs. Going right after the GLE customers. It's like they took all their customer data from Land Rover and applied it to Jag. Of course the old school fans will get upset but there's only 12 of them left because the old jag demo buys audis now, so trying to preserve them doesn't make any business sense.

Why does the badge now say “jr”? What does the JR stand for?
t0xicsymph0ny@reddit
Yeah i agree. Ive got an xjl and i love it. The rebranding sucks. Going all ev is such a shit move. Go from a super comfortable all wheel drive supercharged v6 that has no right being as quick as it is. To a logo that looks like its for a kids brand. And push away the few car guys that liked you shit. Brilliant.
mydogsaweirdo@reddit
The final progression of deleting the hood ornament. They should just put a little white flag on the front of the cars now.

what a fucking mess.
Tbrou16@reddit
The only reason you get a Jag is because it looks like a car a serious baddie would drive. These brand changes completely erase that vibe.
Tbrou16@reddit
They’re cooking with the stripe-stamp one on the third slide, but everything else looks like a cheap headphones company

Daysleepers@reddit
I love the new brand. I’m buying all my vibrators from them in future.
neutronium@reddit
Can't they just go back to "Yes! I want a handjob"
KevinDecosta74@reddit
Jaguar is not a company that people identify with a reliable product. They sell because moderately rich and above folks love their style and pay a premium.
I do not know any moderately rich and above person willing to throw in $100K and above to buy a car that is a trade mark for men who want to be women and chop of their penis.
16piby9@reddit
Jaguar, reliable?! Where in the fuck did you get this idea?? Also, you do not need to chop of your penis to like pink and gold. It is completely legal to do so with an intact penis.
hatlad43@reddit
Jag has taken a leaf out of BMW's marketing; a badly received publicity is publicity nevertheless. Though this makes me think, Jag kinda needs it because it's dying. BMW isn't at all dying but did it anyway. Why?
I said "kinda needs it" because they could just like.. idk, make reliable & desirable cars instead? Rather than spending millions on rebranding. Did they not realize the brand was good but the products are shite?
acirio55@reddit
IT'S WORSE THAN KIA AND NISSAN'S NEW LOGO
AND THE LOGO LOOKS LIKE A FASHION BRAND AND NOT A CAR MANUFACTURER
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING TO JAGUAR?!?!?
AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH JAG'S MARKETING CAMPAIGN?!?!?
WHOEVER MADE THE NEW AD AND LOGO HAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIS/HER MIND!!!!
Real_Garlic9999@reddit
At least all your letters are in the same case
whatsinthesocks@reddit
At least with Kia it was this prestigious car brand and I’d say the same for Nissan. I’ve never been a big fan of Jaguar by this makes zero sense.
Background-Club-955@reddit
massive sex toy machine. or off brand cheap car from chinas-china. is what comes to mind
SnooHobbies5691@reddit (OP)
Speaking of china, have you noticed how BMW completely ruined their design for the last decade because the Chinese market wants even "bigger grill" every year
MadManMorbo@reddit
All the cars look like beavers now... I can't unsee it. They look like Bette Midler's character from Hocus Pocus.
rsweb@reddit
They’ve got record sales currently though because of it…
KderNacht@reddit
China-only BMWs like the i3 saloon have normal grilles. Blame the Americans.
70stang@reddit
Americans got over giant vertical grills in like 1950. Blame the BMW designers who decided to do that shit.
PRSArchon@reddit
This is a myth, BMW did not do this for the chinese market at all.
Upbeat-Serve-6096@reddit
China ruined what we used to call "automobile industry"
Upbeat-Serve-6096@reddit
Because they got fucked by Chery to make cars for the Chinese and bled like a beheaded chicken afterwards.
Slim_Margins1999@reddit
Look like Toothbrush branding to me…
MadManMorbo@reddit
Wow that's distasteful. That's embarassing. I can't believe they thought this was a good idea.
weetabix_su@reddit
they replaced your car brand with a can of pussy
SoroWake@reddit
That's so disgustingly sad 😟
M27TN@reddit
I haven’t really ever considered a Jaguar as they seem so far behind the curve these days especially for company car drivers, but this branding is a complete mess and would turn me away even if they made great cars again.
Leading_Stick_5918@reddit
A bunch of cry babies. Tough shit that not everything is marketed towards conservative men with small dicks.
SnooHobbies5691@reddit (OP)
You're probably the type of people who approved and designed this re branding. No wonder nobody likes you cuπts
braveyetti117@reddit
And what is this marketed towards? Ill wait
Mr_Stealthy@reddit
Looks like a logo for a Transgender cosmetics brand
5_wordsorless@reddit
It’s awful, bland and unimaginative. They are completely turning their back on the long and proud heritage of the company in the quest for “branding”. Clearly decisions made by people with no motoring background or passion. Such a missed opportunity to rebuild an iconic brand.
cwhitel@reddit
How many people complaining would have actually bought a new jaguar? It’s most likely going to be an electric car anyway.
The sales will speak for themselves.
Shady-Nutsack@reddit
The f-pace has been extended for another year, but from 2026 Jaguar are going fully electric only.

You should try looking at the promo video they have. Let's just say it seems to be more of a demo reel for a company that only does clothing promo videos for young buyers on social media.

Oh, and in true PT Barnum style have they already got folks talking
