How that the LINCOLN emblem logo is derived to be remains a mystery, though there are five different theories that have been posed over the years.
The most popular theory: It was based on the Continental star, which was adapted in the 1950s when the LINCOLN and Continental lines merged.
The 2nd theory: It was based on the coat of arms used by the brand since the 1930s, which involved a red cross in the center of a shield.
The 3rd theory: It represents a compass with hands directed to the four corners of the earth. This showed the brand's intent to spread its vehicles across the world.
The 4th theory: It represents the celestial body that reflects the brand's opulence and radiance, sometimes called the LINCOLN Star.
The 5th theory: It has no real meaning behind it.
Regardless of the origin of LINCOLN's emblem logo, the iconic four-point star has become synonymous with the luxury and prestige of the brand over the years. Current design has remained nearly unchanged since 1972.
