From the launch of the brand, Forthing or Fengxing brand products have always borne the Dongfeng emblem, just as the majority of vehicle brands under the Dongfeng umbrella. On November 17 2020, the Forthing T5 EVO crossover was launched and, at the press conference, Dongfeng Fengxing’s new lion emblem was unveiled with the Forthing T5 EVO to be the first product to wear the updated badge. On June 10, 2021, the brand renewal conference of Dongfeng Fengxing was held in Shanghai, and Dongfeng Fengxing's first concept car dedicated to family mobility was unveiled alongside the official announcement of the new emblem. This update is the new slogan of "Confidence, Fearlessness, and Bravery Forward" in the form of the lion badge.[2]
