The Aston Martin Emblem: A Remarkable Origin

Did you know that the first Aston Martin emblem was crafted by a woman? Indeed, the birth of this emblem holds a secret link to the distant era of the pharaohs. Contrary to popular belief, the company was not named after anyone named Aston. So, where did the name originate, and who was responsible for this groundbreaking design?

Kate King emerges as a pivotal figure in this narrative. She played a significant role in the adoption of the name Aston Martin and the creation of its inaugural emblem. The emblem’s evolution over time is a testament to King's creativity and historical inspiration. The Aston Martin winged emblem holds deep ties to ancient Egypt. Its intricate design draws inspiration from the symbol of the Egyptian scarab - a sacred motif associated with transformation and protection. The inclusion of such mystical elements reflects a deeper narrative interwoven within the brand's identity.

Over the years, the Aston Martin emblem has evolved into a masterpiece of jewelry. Today, it adorns every Aston Martin vehicle, including the awe-inspiring Aston Martin DBX 707 - the world's most powerful SUV. The sheer grandeur of this emblem speaks volumes about the brand's legacy and commitment to excellence.
