NEw beginnings
Delorean Motor Company was a pioneer in automobile and industry innovation. At our peak, we were changing the sports car space with the introduction of our vehicles.
Today, we are resurrecting the brand by rebranding to Delorean and committing to a new mission of pioneering solutions that innovate how individuals collaborate.
our legacy
The DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) was a short-lived American automobile manufacturer founded by former General Motors executive John DeLorean. Operating from 1981 to 1982, DMC produced only one model—the iconic stainless steel DeLorean sports car, recognized for its futuristic gull-wing doors. Initially conceptualized as a “safety car” to align with contemporary government safety initiatives, the vehicle ultimately became a symbol of innovation and ambition. Despite its striking design and bold vision, the company struggled financially, leading to bankruptcy and receivership in 1982. However, DeLorean’s legacy extends beyond its brief existence, embodying the pursuit of progress and the intersection of technology and human experience. DeLorean is committed to creating smarter, safer, and more efficient systems that blend cutting-edge technology with a vision for a cleaner, more connected future. The goal is to implement innovative solutions to fix inefficiencies in current industries from the inside.
through the years
why rebrand
Delorean has rebranded to reflect a bold new vision: disrupting outdated business practices and pioneering innovative solutions that transform how individuals collaborate. As the company evolved, its previous identity no longer captured the forward-thinking, disruptive spirit driving its mission. The refreshed brand aligns with Delorean’s commitment to helping organizations unlock their full potential through smarter, more dynamic ways of working. This transformation also positions Delorean more clearly in a competitive market, highlighting its role as a catalyst for change. With this new identity, Delorean is ready to lead the way in redefining the future of collaboration.
visual process
The logo development process was shaped by three core brand values: innovate, trailblaze, and effective. Inspired by innovate, we created visuals reflecting creation and forward-thinking, while trailblaze led us to explore symbols of direction, discovery, and momentum. Finally, guided by effective, we focused on clean, functional designs that emphasize clarity and purposeful execution.

Our New logo
How it was built
Our logo was created using as many parallel lines as possible to create visual symmetry. In order to create an angular bird in flight, lines were angled to create balance.
CLear space
Always make sure to provide enough clear space around logo to ensure visibility and remove competition and distraction from other visual elements.
mapping our new horizons
Connect is a vital brand pillar because it reflects Delorean’s dedication to aligning with the needs of the modern world and fostering meaningful relationships between people, technology, and ideas. As Delorean challenges outdated practices, "Connect" ensures that every brand extension bridges gaps between users and tools, between intention and execution, creating seamless, intuitive experiences. It reinforces the brand’s role in building systems that are not only technologically advanced but also emotionally and socially resonant.
Create is an essential pillar for developing brand extensions because it embodies Delorean’s commitment to innovation, user-focused design, and forward-thinking functionality. Rooted in the brand’s mission to disrupt outdated systems, "Create" emphasizes the active development of new solutions that not only meet evolving user needs but also push the boundaries of technology and culture. It ensures that every brand extension is not just an add-on but a purposeful evolution, designed to empower collaboration, enhance performance, and shape a future that looks fundamentally different from today.
Collaborate is central to Delorean’s mission of unlocking organizational potential through smarter, more effective teamwork. Rooted in the belief that innovation thrives in shared effort, "Collaborate" drives brand extensions that empower individuals to work together with clarity, purpose, and agility. It represents Delorean’s ambition to reimagine not just how we work, but how we succeed together by making collaboration a catalyst for progress and performance.
