HERITAGE TRIUMPH LOGO REVIVAL FOR MODERN CLASSIC ICONS
- Triumph Motorcycles unveils new Modern Classic Icon Editions for 2025 only
- Heritage logo to make a once-only revival on seven distinctive models
- Available in dealerships from December 2024
Triumph Motorcycles has announced a new collection of Modern Classic Icon Editions for 2025, featuring the revival of a Triumph logo which dates back to 1907.
The logo has not been seen on an official Triumph tank for more than 100 years and will be limited to just seven distinctive and iconic Modern Classics, uniting legacy with contemporary classic style and performance. With premium detailing, and unmistakable character, the new classy, custom-inspired Triumph models pay homage to the brand’s rich history.
There are seven models available, each with a sophisticated Sapphire Black and Aluminum Silver colour combination, perfectly complementing their authentic and original design. Meticulously crafted to a flawless finish, each one features hand-painted coach-lining, and exclusive graphics showcasing the Edwardian gold script logo. The distinctive designs capture the essence of the original models while adding new character with signature colour schemes, from the laid-back elegance of the Bonneville T100 and T120, to the rugged attitude of the Scrambler 900, 1200 X and 1200 XE, to the custom-vibe of the Bobber and Speedmaster.
Triumph Motorcycles’ Chief Commercial Officer Paul Stroud said: “The Triumph Modern Classics have an enduring reputation for original style, high quality, premium finish and modern performance. It is this authenticity, coupled with the heritage and passion encapsulated in the 1907 logo, that will have broad appeal with both younger and older riders. With striking new paint schemes, bespoke graphics, and custom logos, the Icon Editions perfectly blend heritage, style and contemporary capability, perfect for those riders who appreciate classic style, but value modern performance.”
THE TRIUMPH ICON
The icon of Triumph Motorcycles, and considered iconic by many riders, the Triumph logo is respected and loved across the globe. The trademarked logo began as a shield in 1902; a heraldic crest design that incorporated the company name, Triumph Cycle Co. Ltd and the city of manufacture, Coventry. This emblem was replaced in 1907 with a new script logo, the Triumph wordmark. While it was used for just seven years, this version of the Triumph logo has endured in countless custom designs, used on collectables, and fans have even chosen this logo for tattoos.
The addition of Motors to the logo in 1915, moved the design forwards, before Triumph reverted to the crest, in colour, during the 1920’s. A brief change in 1932 introduce the oval globe logo, which was superseded in 1934 by a return to the wordmark, using an updated script and capital letters. Updated again in 1936 with a bolder font and keyline, this logo was carried forward for more than 50 years. In 1990, the blue version was a subtle evolution of the brand, refreshed again in 2005, removing the keyline. In 2013, the modern logo first appeared, a contemporary black styling of the wordmark, and the additional modern triangle logo.
It is the memorable script logo from 1907 that has been revived for 2025, to create the graphics for the Icon Editions.
EXPLORE THE COLLECTION
Built with precision and attention to detail, combining unique design with top-tier quality and engineering, the Icon Editions each feature a different two tone colour split of Sapphire Black and Aluminium Silver, with side panels that are beautifully finished to match the fuel tanks, creating a striking contrast that makes each model stand out from the crowd.
Every elegant curve and sculpted detail that gives each of the Modern Classics their own unique silhouettes, are beautifully highlighted and refined using hand painted coach-lining which traces the colour split lines, picked out in black or gold. The addition of the Triumph script logo in gold, and exclusive Icon Edition model graphics, on the tanks and side panels, further enhances the presence of each bike.
