During WW2, one Mr. Goebbels demanded that the war correspondents always photograph/film German forces moving from left to right. Because that's what the brain considers a forward movement, as we are used to read from left to right.

So, the "new" Jaguar symbol is psychologically bad, as it shows a Jaguar in a movement that the brain considers "going backward".

I'll never unsee that now. Thanks!

BTW, they just got a new logo because they are branding themselves as an EV car maker now.
