Citroën launches a new brand campaign that carries the message "Our vision of mobility is born of your desire for freedom". This new international film features the signature, CITROËN INSPIRED BY YOU, a brand inspired for almost 100 years by the lives of people, their desire for mobility and freedom of successive generations. The film tells the epic journey of the Citroën brand, featuring some of the iconic cars from its heritage.
INSPIRED BY YOUR DESIRE FOR FREEDOM SINCE 1919!
From 2CV to CX, from Traction to Méhari, from Type H to Visa, from CX to C4 Cactus, via our Concept Car CXperience, C3 Aircross or C4 Cactus. Citroën has been observing people for years, their dreams of adventure, family trips and get-togethers with friends to offer vehicles that have the intelligence of their lives.
The new representative campaign illustrates how the story first began in 1919: "Our vision of mobility is born of your desire for freedom". The film transports us through different times, in which models of the marque accompany the desire of a hitchhiker for freedom. In turn, he gets on board each of these models ... And every car from past era.

A HISTORY OF THE CITROËN LOGO
Between 1921 and 1936, the oval was replaced by a hexagon on a blue background that highlighted the yellow chevrons, then the name Citroën was introduced.
In the early 1930s, a parallel logo appeared, representing a swan sailing in Citroën rafters, to symbolize the new floating engines.
By 1959, yellow chevrons protrude from a white ellipse and then in 1966, the name Citroën is integrated in a blue square.
From 1985, to modernize the image of the Brand, the rafters are now white and inserted within a red square.
In 2009, the brands new logo features chromed and rounded chevrons in 3D, with Citroën inscribed in red underneath. It was refined further in 2016 when a 2D version inspired by a flat design, was unveiled.
