<p>[QUOTE=&quot;komokwa, post: 450573, member: 301&quot;]this will serve to be a more clear answer....</p><p><br /></p><p>The brand name–Plymouth–was first explained by the newspaper article which leaked word of Plymouth’s first model. “Plymouth symbolises the endurance and strength, the rugged honesty, enterprise, and determination…of the Pilgrim band who were the first American colonists.” Indeed, the brand was purposely named after the English colony which was settled in Massachusetts in 1620.</p><p><br /></p><p><font size="5"><b>How Plymouth Got Its Logo</b></font></p><p>Since the Plymouth brand name appealed to classic American patriotism, it only made sense the company’s emblem did so too. Therefore, what icon better reflected the determination of the Plymouth Pilgrims than their sailing vessel: the Mayflower.</p><p><br /></p><p>Although Plymouth vehicles bore dazzling hood ornaments throughout its early years–including a winged mermaid–it wasn’t until two decades later that the public witnessed the first official emblem of the brand.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://thenewswheel.com/behind-badge-historic-meaning-plymouths-sailboat-badge/original-plymouth-logo-mayflower/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://thenewswheel.com/behind-badge-historic-meaning-plymouths-sailboat-badge/original-plymouth-logo-mayflower/" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://thenewswheel.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Original-plymouth-logo-mayflower.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>The design was undeniably fitting–a detailed depiction of the Mayflower as it sailed to the New World. Some renditions even included a coat of arms believed to be a local seal from where the Pilgrims landed. It adorned the brand’s models from 1949 until 1958, when it was replaced with model-specific badges.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
