July 20, 2022, Gaydon, UK: Aston Martin's iconic wings fly into an intense new era with the British ultra-luxury brand launching a bold new creative brand strategy and global marketing campaign to further accelerate its growth among new audiences.

Celebrating the company's position as makers of the most elegantly addictive performance cars and focusing on the Intensity brand idea. It took. Intensity & Driven is built on Aston Martin's strong, established reputation for combining luxury craftsmanship and sophisticated design with high-octane emotion and intense driving pleasure, as defined by breathtaking new models like the DBX707, V12 Vantage and the uncompromising Aston Martin Valkyrie.

The strategic renovation is the largest investment in the Aston Martin brand in more than a decade, reinforcing the brand performance's pinnacle position in the ultra-luxury segment. This initiative is built around increasing the interest of a broader, wealthier global audience strategically targeted by the brand while upholding Aston Martin's core values.

In addition to new visual and verbal expressions, this radical renovation includes a contemporary update to the iconic wings they created in collaboration with renowned British art director and graphic designer Peter Saville.

In physical form, the new wing design has been handcrafted in the street of Birmingham's key artisans and will be used for the first time on Aston Martin's next generation sports cars.

This renovation marks the first major update to the brand since 2003 and the eighth major change in Aston Martin's 109-year history. To reflect this renovation, Aston Martin has also released behind-the-scenes photos of its unique development process.

Celebrating the 100th anniversary of the brand's first Grand Prix participation, Aston Martin will race symbolically with the original logo featured in the first Grand Prix participation in 1922.
