As Cadillac seeks to expand – both in terms of its vehicle range and global market presence – the American car manufacturer has launched a brand refresh by Mother Design. The update comes ahead of introducing two electric vehicles to its line-up for the first time in the next few years. The new logo has been stripped back in terms of colour and embellishment, substituting its recognisable Mondrian-like design for a black and white flat logo (though a 3D chrome version still exists).

From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
