Visu Renault: The Art, Science, and Evolution of Visual Identity in Automotive Design

Key Features

Part 3: The 2010s – The Laurens van den Acker Era and "Life is a Cycle"

In 2009, Laurens van den Acker (former Mazda and Ford designer) took over and did something unprecedented: he mapped Renault’s entire future visual identity onto the stages of human life. "Fall in Love, Explore the World, Build a Family, Work, Play, and Grow Wise." Each stage would have a corresponding concept car and production model.

Why is Visu Renault a Game-Changer?

Before digital systems like Visu, mechanics relied on microfiche or heavy paper catalogues. If a part was updated by Renault mid-production, the paper catalogue became obsolete immediately. Visu Renault solves this by connecting to live, real-time servers.

The New Logo – The Diamond Reborn

In 2021, Renault unveiled a new logo: a flat, minimalist, two-dimensional diamond made of two overlapping chevrons. It resembles a twisted ribbon or an abstracted ’70s geometric design. This logo is not a badge to be glued on; it’s a graphic pattern that can be embossed, illuminated, or projected. It appears on the hood, the steering wheel, the infotainment screen, and even as a welcome light on the ground. The "Visu" is now digital-first, flexible, and modular. visu renault

Conclusion: The Diamond That Keeps Turning

"Visu Renault" is not a static set of rules. It is a living, breathing language that has evolved from a simple industrial diamond to a sophisticated, light-based, digital ecosystem. From the boxy 4L to the radical Avantime, from the cautious 1990s to the electric Nouvelle Vague, one thing remains constant: Renault uses its visual identity to ask questions. What does a car mean? What should it look like? How does it make you feel?

As the brand moves toward 2030, with 100% electric sales in Europe, the "Visu" will likely become even more minimal, more sustainable (using recycled materials and plant-based dyes), and more interactive (with exterior LED displays that communicate with pedestrians). But the diamond—flattened, lit, or projected—will remain at the center. Visu Renault: The Art, Science, and Evolution of

Because to understand Renault is to understand that a logo is never just a logo. It is a promise. And in the world of "Visu Renault," that promise is always beautifully, daringly visible.
