Can the car logo be changed?

The vehicle logo cannot be changed. Changing the vehicle logo will not only infringe the vehicle's registered trademark rights, but also affect the vehicle's image and reputation. At the same time, it will violate the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law and is an illegal act. If caught by the traffic police, the vehicle's driving license will be detained and ordered to be reinstated.

There are several reasons:

1. Trademark infringement. The car logo is the representative of an automobile company. Changing the logo without authorization infringes upon the exclusive right to register a brand-name automobile trademark. If the owner changes it privately, it will have an impact on his image and reputation.

2. It will bring trouble to the accident handling work. The vehicle logo is the main identification mark of the vehicle. If someone is driving and causes an accident, witnesses or victims will not be able to identify the true condition of the vehicle based on the signs, which will cause trouble in handling the accident.

3. This car cannot pass the annual inspection.

"Regulations on the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" (GB7258-2017) 4.1 Vehicle Marking:

1. The visible part of the outer surface of the front part of the vehicle body shall be installed At least one permanent trademark or factory logo, and the visible part of the outer surface of the vehicle body should be equipped with a logo that can identify the vehicle type;

2. The product logo should be fixed in a conspicuous position affected by the replacement parts, and the specific location should be at stated in the product manual. Obviously, changing the label without authorization is also against this provision.

As for the behavior of changing car logos privately, the traffic police department pointed out that it is understandable that drivers want their cars to be more personalized. However, the vehicle logo, body color, and license plate are important information for identifying a motor vehicle. Unauthorized modifications will bring hidden dangers to motor vehicle management and road traffic management. I hope drivers will give more consideration to the public interest when decorating their cars.
