We have finished chatting about Juliet, let me share with you a love story about the Rolls-Royce Flying Goddess logo! Rolls-Royce, a century-old automobile brand that has been passed down to this day, has developed unique brand characteristics and an intriguing brand temperament in more than a century of development. The "Flying Goddess" car logo can be said to be the most moving logo in the history of automobiles!

The designer of the Rolls-Royce "Flying Lady" logo is the British sculptor Charles Sykes. In the early 20th century, John Montague invited Sykes to design a sculpture emblem for his Rolls-Royce sedan, and the sculpture was to be based on his lifelong partner Eleanor Thornton.

Eleanor Thornton was a beautiful girl, but her fate was not particularly kind to her. When she was young, Thornton was abandoned by her father and lived with her mother, who made a living by shining shoes. Dependent on each other, in order to treat her mother who was seriously ill and bedridden, she had to go to nightclubs and become a social butterfly.

Thornton and Montagu met in 1902. Thornton's beauty and dancing attracted Montague's attention. Thinking about him day and night, Montagu drew seven sketches for Thornton. Because of these seven sketches, the two people quickly fell in love. But in the society at that time, the huge status gap made this relationship destined to not be blessed. Montague came from a noble family, served as the editor-in-chief of Automobile Illustrated, and was a member of the British Conservative Party, while Thornton was just a dancer.

Sykes was deeply moved by this tortuous love story. In the end, the sculpture based on Thornton was designed as a young girl standing in the wind, letting her dress fly in the wind, but Gently tapping his index finger on his lips symbolizes the unspeakable secret emotions between Montague and Thornton, and is named "Whisper".

In the end, Rolls-Royce changed the "Flying Goddess" car logo based on Thornton from silver to nickel alloy to represent the unparalleled quality of Rolls-Royce cars and Monta Koo and Thornton's everlasting love. The editor also wishes all lovers to get married eventually!
