Chevrolet is keeping the mid-engine Corvette under wraps until its big debut this summer, but it still wants to build hype. We’re obliging by showing off the car;s new logo.
“A #Corvette this different deserves a symbol all its own,” Chevrolet Performance said in a post on Instagram. As you can see, the iconic crossed-flags logo hasn’t changed that dramatically; it’s just a simplified and narrower version of the previous one; most notably, there’s no more V-shaped gap between the two flags. If you’re really eagle-eyed, you’ll notice there’s no longer a line under the fleur-de-lis.
