General Motors’ revamped business strategy for 2021

GM has made a major change in their business strategy by introducing two new moves in 2021. Firstly they’re working vigorously towards manufacturing more and more electric vehicles, and secondly, they’ve come up with a new logo.

This isn’t the first time that GM has decided to change the company logo. They’ve already used five trademarks before, but this change is special because it reflects a greener future. The new logo reflects GM’s decision to launch more EVs.

A look at the new GM logo

The new logo features the company’s initials (GM) in lowercase letters. Three different alternatives for the new logo have been revealed, one being completely black, light blue fading to a darker blue, and the third being very similar to the the older traditional blue logo.

When asked about the change, GM’s spokesperson said that the second logo symbolizes the clean sky of a zero-emission future and represents the Ultium platform’s energy. Those who aren’t familiar with Ultium are GM’s proprietary lineup of batteries for electric vehicle vehicles. The company announced Ultium in March 2020 and said that the GMC Hummer EV revealed in October 2020 will be the first model to install an Ultium battery.

Next in line is the Cadillac Lyriq model, which will also have Ultium batteries in it.
