Jaguar's New Era Honoring Sir William Lyons with a Bold Rebrand

Jaguar’s New Era Honoring Sir William Lyons with a Bold Rebrand

A new era begins for Jaguar. A completely transformed Jaguar brand recaptures an ethos to Copy Nothing that can trace its roots back to the words of its founder, Sir William Lyons. 

Jaguar’s transformation is defined by Exuberant Modernism, a creative philosophy that underpins all aspects of the new Jaguar brand world.  It embraces bold designs, unexpected and original thinking, creating a brand character that will command attention through fearless creativity

Jaguar has its roots in originality. Sir William Lyons, our founder, believed that ‘A Jaguar should be a copy of nothing’.
Our vision for Jaguar today is informed by this philosophy. New Jaguar is a brand built around Exuberant Modernism. It is imaginative, bold and artistic at every touchpoint. It is unique and fearless.

This is a reimagining that recaptures the essence of Jaguar, returning it to the values that once made it so loved, but making it relevant for a contemporary audience. We are creating Jaguar for the future, restoring its status as a brand that enriches the lives of our clients and the Jaguar community.

Symbols of change – Jaguar’s new brand identity

The reimagined Jaguar begins its unveiling with an all‑new brand identity that establishes its unique character through a dramatic new visual language.

Each of the four symbols of change is embedded with meaning, reflecting brand values and providing clues for the future.

Device Mark

Exuberant Colours

Exuberant use of color is a cornerstone of Jaguar’s new brand identity, embedded in its values and association with art. Primary colors, born from the painter’s palette – yellow, red, and blue – are the tonal building blocks, always presented with texture or movement.

Makers Marks 

This consists of the newly reimagined Jaguar ‘leaper,’ a precious provenance mark. Always leaping forward, it represents excellence and is a hallmark of the brand.

Maker's Mark

The monogram is a code for expression and a signifier of a completed work. It is used as a flourish or finishing touch.

Copy Nothing 

On 2 December 2024, 20:00 hrs (U.S. EST), at Miami Art Week, Jaguar will present “Copy Nothing,” the first global public installation for its new brand, which will include the physical manifestation of its Exuberant Modernism creative philosophy in a Design Vision Concept.  

This dramatic, unmistakable, and unexpected expression of what it means to Copy Nothing will be a preview of Jaguar’s fearless approach.

Jaguar’s presence in Miami will establish its advocacy for artistic expression in all its forms. Through a series of meticulously curated gallery spaces over two locations, Jaguar will share its platform with new and ground‑breaking emerging artists who share its ethos of Copy Nothing. 
 

To bring back such a globally renowned brand we had to be fearless.

Jaguar was always at its best when challenging convention.

That ethos is seen in our new brand identity today and will be further revealed over the coming months.

This is a complete reset. Jaguar is transformed to reclaim its originality and inspire a new generation.

I am excited for the world to finally see Jaguar.
