The pemtastar was (and is again) the corporate symbol while the old winged logo is the Chrysler brand logo. During the Iaccoca era the pentastar replaced all Plymouth, Dodge, Chrysler and Imperial logos. In the late 1990's Chrysler management realized their error and brought back individual logos for each brand. The pentastar was laid to rest after DaimlerChrysler was formed. The winged logo was never used as the corporate symbol, only the symbol for the Chrysler brand. The logo is alive and well - www.chryslerllc.com and www.chryslercandaa.ca Bill Vancouver, BC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Terry & Andree Hoeman" <tehoema@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <L-FORWARDLOOK@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2007 7:08 PM Subject: Re: [FWDLK] Happy Days are here AGAIN!!!! > Personally I hope they don't start using the pentstar again and keep up with > the beautiful original Chrysler logo.
