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.

In fact the advice I was recently given by a retired NDR cameraman & producer (grew up in Australia) for video-creation was that you should
always pan from left to right as anything else annoys the eye. The only "excuse" for panning right to left is if you are tracking something (person, car etc).

If you've not been a "Breaking Bad" fan, you won't grasp how f*cking great this advertisement is.. But in my book, one cannot top that one... Perfect...
