For those who came of age after 1963, the symbol of Chrysler Corporation was a thin, white, five-pointed star within a blue pentagon. It was seemingly everywhere on Chrysler products, from automobiles (across all Chrysler brands) through spare parts, accessories and even literature. Killed off by then-parent Daimler in 1998, the Pentastar logo made a triumphant return in 2007; now, under new owner Fiat, the logo has been quietly phased out in favor of a new FCA logo, signifying the birth of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.

The original Pentastar logo was developed in 1962 by Lippincott & Margulies, Chrysler's advertising agency, at the direction of Chrysler president Lynn Townsend.
