Throughout the long history of ups and downs, Rover has used emblems, based on the Viking theme. The latest version, used from 2003 to 2005, saw the Viking longship become silver with red sails.

The last Rover emblem, used before the company’s discontinuation in 2005, featured an iconic Viking ship with silver body and red sails. The image was placed on black background, framed with silver border. Rover inscription in silver letters, put just above the sails, completed the logo. That emblem was a minimalistic version of the company’s trademark symbol.

The last Rover emblem was designed in three colors: silver, red and black. The silver boat with red sails was placed on black background. That was the first design in a long time featuring silver boat as the large parts of the boat used to be painted in gold color before.
