Casalini Logo: Meaning and History

The Casalini logo is a navy blue round mark with a stylized letter C, set to the left of the word CASALINI in navy capitals, with the line “dal 1939” beneath. Casalini is an Italian maker of microcars and light vehicles from Piacenza, one of the oldest microcar producers in the world.

Casalini Logo

The Casalini emblem pairs a symbol with a wordmark. The symbol is a circle whose open ring forms the letter C, with a small ring and dot inside it, and the whole mark is drawn in flat navy blue. The name follows in clean, wide capitals, and the tagline “dal 1939”, Italian for “since 1939”, sits under the lettering and points to the founding year.

The round C works as the Casalini symbol on its own, and together with the name it is the Casalini badge for the company’s vehicles. It serves as the Casalini car logo for the microcars. The page offers the Casalini logo PNG with a transparent background.

Casalini Logo History

An earlier Casalini logo was a circular emblem in a different style. It had a thick chrome ring around a blue disc with a fine dotted texture, and the same C with a small ring at its end in silver. The current Casalini logo replaces this glossy, three-dimensional badge with a flat navy mark, and adds the full name and the “dal 1939” line.

Casalini History

Casalini was founded in 1939 by Giovanni Casalini, and its factory is in Piacenza, Italy. The company designs, manufactures and distributes light vehicles. Until the late 1960s the factory built three-wheelers and mopeds.

In 1969 it introduced its first microcar, the Sulky, which had a steel monocoque body and a 49.6 cc Vespa TL3 engine and was aimed at drivers without a license. A 125 cc version was also offered, and the car was sold in France as the Willam Sulky. More than 10,000 of the first Sulky were built.

After 1994, when Italy adopted European directive 92/61, Casalini began to produce light quadricycles for the Italian market too, starting with the Kore 500. Its developments were the Sulkydea in 1996, the Ydea in 2000 and the Sulkydea LV in 2004, followed by the Kerry, the Pickup and the M10, announced in 2010. The current microcars have fiberglass bodies and a 635 cc Mitsubishi diesel engine, and Casalini sells in all European Union markets.
