Since 1909, Bugatti has been steadfast in its forward-thinking, innovative mindset, inspired by the unwavering can-do attitude of its founder, Ettore Bugatti. Following this path, the brand has grown beyond its roots as an iconic hyper sports car manufacturer to become a key luxury brand. Bugatti’s evolving brand identity is testament to this shift, with the Red Dot Design Award recognizing the new corporate design in its "Brands and Communication Design" category.
Coveted since Ettore first established
the marque, Bugatti has stood at the summit of the automotive world for
more than 110 years. Now in 2023, Bugatti’s ethos has evolved to
encapsulate all-encompassing avant-garde French luxury. And the Red Dot
Award have recognized this growth, paying homage to Bugatti’s innovative
concept and progressive design.
At the heart of the Bugatti
corporate identity that was first implemented in new partner showrooms
and introduced to the public in July 2022, is a commitment to "Create
the Incomparable".
Bugatti’s devotion to producing bespoke works
of art and delivering an entirely unique experience to each of its
customers remains, but the corporate design has evolved. Integrating new
design elements and a progressive brand feel across all touchpoints,
both physical and digital, the outcome is a design that is bolder, more
modern, and more progressive. It is a design that better represents
where Bugatti stands today, and in the direction it will head in the
future.
The Red Dot Award is one of the world’s longest-standing
design competitions. First presented in 1955 as Design Innovations, the
Red Dot Award has been titled as such since 2000. Each year, a jury of

excellence in design. Designated via a rigorous selection process,
Bugatti’s win is synonymous with industry recognition - underlining the
marque’s innovation, creativity and desire to push the boundaries of
design.
