Meaning and history
Bombardier Inc. is a Canadian multinational company mainly specializing in air and railway vehicles. It was established in 1942. It has an aircraft division, Bombardier Aviation, and a railway equipment division Bombardier Transportation.
Before 2003, Bombardier Recreational Products, a manufacturer of snowcats and snowmobiles, was part of Bombardier Inc., too.
1990 – 2003
Before the company adopted its current wordmark, it had used the so-called sprocket-wheel logo. It did not remain the same – you can come across at least different versions. All of them feature a similar structure: a sprocket-wheel with the word “Bombardier” written across it (in the middle). The versions vary by color, typeface, and details of the wheel.
To begin with, there was a black-and-white logo. The type here looked pretty much the same as on the current wordmark.
Also, there was a logo in dark blue and white. While the sprocket-wheel resembled the one on the black-and-white logo described above, the type was lighter.
You can also come across a Bombardier logo in dark green and white. Here, the spikes on the wheel had rounded angles. The type was italicized and featured distinctive “thorns.”
2003 – now
In 2003, they decided to use just the wordmark from then on. It still used the big letters, but the font became a more upright and basic sans-serif typeface. The usual colors would be black, but it could be anything if necessary.
