The design of the logo is intended to convey a sense of speed and acceleration, with the overstretched "P" almost making a 'varoom' sound as it accelerates across the page.
According to Pirelli, the logo came about after the company's US representative requested a symbol that he could use on advertising. Its overstretched P almost makes a 'varoom' sound as it accelerates across the page, forming a roof over the other letters in the tyre brand's name.
“The elongated P with its clever shift from thick to thin and back was a highly evocative way to portray the elasticity of Pirelli’s premium products.”

In an attempt at standardisation, in 1982 Salvatore Gregorietti of Unimark drew up a manual with instructions on how the logotype was to be used with the approved designs of the letters "R" and "E". In 1997 Pierluigi Cerri edited a bilingual handbook laying down the colour standards of reference.
