Aston Martin will be 100 years old

Not many companies can reach such a milestone as Aston Martin. The British car maker is all set to celebrate a century of car making and ha planned out a year-long celebration in 2013. 15 January 2013 marks the official incorporation of the company 100 years ago and to commemorate the historic occasion the oldest surviving Aston Martin – A3 – and a stunning new Vanquish, the brand’s ultimate GT, will take their places at a photo call at Henniker Mews in Chelsea – the original home of Aston Martin – where a commemorative plaque will be unveiled.

To mark its first century in business, Aston Martin has created a special centenary logo: a dynamic spiralling design derived from the nautilus shell, one of the most perfectly proportioned and mathematically precise objects found in nature. Ninety nine points arranged in an elegant helix spiral out from the Aston Martin logo and culminate in a red ’100′ to mark the celebration year. The logo has been designed to express forward motion while also acknowledging the importance of the past.
