What is FAP?
Fábrica de Automóveis Portuguesa (FAP) was a renowned automaker in Portugal, operational from 1921 until 2009. It produced a wide array of automobiles and commercial vehicles.
1921 – 1950
The company was quite innovative when it comes to logo design. In fact, it would be hard to tell that the logo was designed a century ago. It featured a black-and-white color palette and rich thick lines. The font used to print the name resembles Stephanie font designed by Creative Fabrica, only the letter “A” was printed shorter. It almost looks as if the top of the “A” is simply cut off. The name of the company was framed by a line that is slightly thicker than the one used for the letters. The corners were rounded.
1950 – 2009
The company modified the logo just a bit. First of all, the color palette was changed to a shade that resembled ocean blue. The rounded rectangular frame was replaced by a frame that had the shape of the shield that had square corners at the top and rounded at the bottom with an element pointing down. The font was changed but it closely resembled the characters in the previous emblem. The main difference was the letter “A”. The top that was “cut off” in the earlier version was brought back, so all the letters were the same height, and the “A” had a pointed top. As with the previous emblem, this logo looks very stylish and modern.
