The History and Meaning of the INFINITI Logo

Displayed proudly at the front of every new INFINITI model, the INFINITI logo blends Japanese aesthetic philosophy with futuristic engineering concepts. In addition to showing off our large inventory of new and pre-owned INFINITI models, the team at Southwest INFINITI also loves sharing the history of the iconic luxury automaker. This is the story and design history behind the INFINITI logo. more The Endless Road and Vanishing Horizon The INFINITI logo debuted alongside the brand in 1989. The iconic metallic badge features an oval surrounding two dynamic lines that converge toward a central point. The two interior lines represent a highway extending toward the horizon, symbolizing endless possibilities and continuous automotive innovation. Where the lines meet is an apex, which represents the vanishing point over a distant horizon, reflecting a constant drive toward the future. In addition to the logo, you may have wondered about the unique spelling of INFINITI. This was chosen because the four I’s mirror highway lane markers and create visual balance. Evolution of the Logo Over the more than three decades of the INFINITI brand, the badge has evolved subtly while retaining its core identity and connection to Japanese aesthetics. Early flagship INFINITI models, such as the original 1989 INFINITI Q45, featured detailing that utilized traditional metal ribbon techniques. Recent versions have introduced a dynamic 3D emblem set within a double-arch grille inspired by origami and traditional Japanese bridges. Finally, modern illuminated badges use clean LED accent lighting to highlight the converging horizon lines during night driving.

Do I Need Gap Insurance for My Vehicle in Texas?

One of the most common financing questions that we receive here at Southwest INFINITI is regarding gap insurance in Texas. Gap insurance, shorthand for Guaranteed Asset Protection insurance, is a special type of insurance that helps protect you against total loss scenarios. The team of finance professionals at Southwest INFINITI explains how gap insurance works to keep your vehicle protected, as well as whether or not it is required. more Does Texas State Law Mandate Gap Coverage? State regulations in Texas do not legally require gap insurance for vehicle owners. Standard car insurance policies only require minimum liability coverage to cover damage to other vehicles in an accident. However, financial institutions, leasing companies, and lenders sometimes require gap insurance as a mandatory condition of your financing agreement. This requirement protects the lender’s financial interest if the vehicle is totaled or stolen before your loan balance is paid down. Why You Should Consider Gap Insurance Gap insurance covers the negative equity “gap” between your auto insurer’s actual cash value payout and your total remaining loan balance. Though it is not required in Texas, there are still good reasons to purchase it: Depreciation Protection: New INFINITI models lose their value the fastest during the first few years of ownership, creating financial issues if a total loss occurs. Longer Loan Terms: Spreading payments across 60 to 72 months slows down your principal reduction, which makes gap insurance more beneficial. Low Down Payment Buffer: Putting down less than 20 percent leaves you with a larger balance to pay off. Standard collision insurance may not cover this. Consult Our INFINITI Finance Experts in Houston, TX The finance team at Southwest INFINITI is happy to help you decide if gap insurance is right for you. Visit us today to determine if this optional coverage can help you.
