OPEL UNVEILS NEW ICONIC BLITZ EMBLEM
Opel has revealed a new interpretation of its iconic emblem, the ‘Blitz’, which will feature on its new models from 2024. The Blitz will continue to form a central element of the Opel Compass, one of the main features of the German carmaker’s critically acclaimed design philosophy, unveiled first on the multi-award winning Mokka and introduced since on the Grandland, Astra, and forthcoming new Corsa. Sitting proudly at the centre of the Opel Vizor brand face, the lightning bolt, or ‘Blitz’ in German, is closely associated with electricity and is the ideal emblem to symbolise Opel’s approach to the era of electromobility; Opel will offer 15 all-electric models by the end of 2023, marketing all-electric models only by 2028.
A new Blitz is born. The sharper icon is set to make its debut on new Opel production models in 2024.
Mark Adams, Vice President design, said: “The ‘Blitz’ is the icon for our Bold and Pure philosophy. The sharpened, confident new ‘Blitz’, intersects the pure supporting ring, giving our iconic emblem a progressive, modern look. It is positioned proudly at the centre of our compass, which is our key graphic design principle. The compass is the backbone of our front, rear and interior design elements.” 
Sitting proudly at the centre of the Opel Vizor brand face, the lightning bolt, or ‘Blitz’ in German, is closely associated with electricity, the ideal emblem to symbolise Opel’s electrified range.
Florian Huettl, Opel CEO, said: “Our ‘Blitz’ is more relevant than ever before. It not only symbolises our commitment to the democratization of innovation and mobility but also conveys our commitment to becoming a fully electric brand in Europe by 2028. This year, we will already have 15 electrified models in our portfolio and can proudly say that Opel is electric.” 
The German carmaker will gradually roll out the new ‘Blitz’ across its product portfolio in the coming years with the first production vehicle set to sport the new look in 2024. However, a strong hint of how it will look in production will come much sooner.
Opel CEO, Florian Huettl explained: “The IAA Mobility is one of the biggest motor shows in the world and therefore the perfect location to proudly introduce a large, international audience to our new ‘Blitz’. And, we also have a surprise planned. Visitors of our presence in Munich will be thrilled.”
