Bold new creative identity unveiled as part of strategic repositioning to accelerate the brand\u2019s growth and appeal to new audiences. New version of iconic hand-enamelled wings to feature on next-generation sportscars.<\/p>\n
20 July 2022, Gaydon, UK: Aston Martin\u2019s iconic wings are taking flight into an intense new era, with the British ultra-luxury marque today launching a bold new creative brand strategy and global marketing campaign to further accelerate its growth amongst new audiences.<\/p>\n
Celebrating the company\u2019s position as makers of the most exquisitely addictive performance cars and centred on the brand idea Intensity. Driven.<\/em>, the creative identity builds on Aston Martin\u2019s strong, established reputation for combining luxurious craftsmanship and sophisticated design with high-octane emotion and intense driving pleasure, as defined by breath-taking new models such as DBX707, V12 Vantage and the uncompromising Aston Martin Valkyrie.<\/p>\n The strategic repositioning is the largest investment in Aston Martin\u2019s brand for more than a decade and strengthens its position at the pinnacle of the performance ultra-luxury segment. It builds on Aston Martin\u2019s growing appeal to a wider, affluent global audience strategically targeted by the brand, whilst underpinning its core values.<\/p>\n In addition to the new visual and verbal expression, the radical redesign includes a contemporary update to the iconic wings, created by the manufacturer\u2019s world-renowned design function in collaboration with acclaimed British art director and graphic designer Peter Saville.<\/p>\n In physical form, the new wings design is hand-crafted by artisans in Birmingham\u2019s Jewellery Quarter and will be applied for the first time on Aston Martin\u2019s next generation of sports cars, which will further enhance Aston Martin\u2019s focus on ultra-luxury, performance and driving intensity.<\/p>\n It is the first major update to the marque since 2003 and only the eighth time in Aston Martin\u2019s 109-year history that it has been significantly adjusted. To mark the launch, Aston Martin has released behind-the-scenes photography of the unique jewelling process at Vaughtons studio in Birmingham, the 203-year-old silversmiths firm famed for crafting the Football Association Cup and medals for the 1908 London Olympics.<\/p>\n This weekend, the Aston Martin Aramco Cognizant F1TM<\/sup> Team will proudly feature the new wings on its livery for the French Grand Prix. Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the brand\u2019s first Grand Prix entry, Aston Martin will symbolically race with its original button logo on the nose of its cars, mirroring the marque featured on its first Grand Prix entries in 1922.<\/p>\n Intensity. Driven.<\/em> is brought to life in a breathless short film, featuring all five of Aston Martin\u2019s current high-performance production models. Conveying the feeling of driving and the emotional connection drivers have with their cars, the film showcases the stimulating physiological effects of driving an Aston Martin, with sensorial data visualisations of pupil dilation and heart rate obtained through biometric testing during thrilling high-speed laps in an Aston Martin Valkyrie, the ultimate hypercar.<\/p>\n A series of high-impact social, digital, and print assets\u2014featuring evocative imagery and emotive, sophisticated short and long-form copy celebrating Aston Martin\u2019s passion for craftsmanship, attention to detail and winning performance\u2014will also be released globally.<\/p>\n Renato Bisignani, Head of Global Marketing and Communications at Aston Martin<\/strong>, said: \u201cBuilding on our return to the pinnacle of motorsport in Formula One, the launch of Intensity. Driven.<\/em> marks the next phase in our evolution of the Aston Martin brand, as we unleash its global potential and maximise our unique position at the cutting-edge of ultra-luxury and high performance.<\/p>\n \u201cRetaining the elegance and sophistication that our brand and products are revered for worldwide, this emotionally led creative direction dials up the bolder, edgier, and more intense characteristics that have always underscored Aston Martin.<\/p>\n \u201cWhilst engaging our fiercely loyal customer base, we believe this new dimension will capitalise on the growing demand from a new generation of Aston Martin customers, with more than 60% of our current sales new to the brand.\u201d<\/p>\nContemporary Update to Iconic Wings<\/h3>\n
