About the Smart Logo
First imagined in the late 1980s by Swatch (SMH) boss Nicolas Hayek, the project took shape in 1994 as the Micro Compact Car joint venture with Daimler-Benz; the name nods to its parents - Swatch Mercedes ART - and the tiny city car that would become the Fortwo launched in 1998.
