The correct answer is Peugeot
The French lion was officially created in 1847 by Justin Blazer who worked as jeweler and engraver and was based on the Region France-Comte flag.
However, the logo appeared on Peugeot cars only years later, receiving a lot of modifications over the years.
The last modifications occurred in 1998 and 2002 when the company reworked the look of the lion in an effort to better underline the 'message' of the logo: it denotes power and balance, while the blue is believed to represent the company's view of the future.
