That "4" really can't be a co-incidence!?

If you drive a 343, 340 etc and you worked there, you would be a company legend, Managing director in no time at all!. :D

It's the 3s that I can't believe! That's a very 70's font, surprised they didn't use the open top 4 for the volvo logo as as far as I remember that was very 70's too!

The below type of digital sytle 4 fits more with the 3's so it's very much an odd coincidence that both Volvo in the 1970's and then this other company in the 90's went for the tradistional style 4 to go with the more 'modern' 3.
