1993 Jeep Wrangler 4x4
From around 1989, logos for the Jeep Wrangler and its various editions were based on Earth. Earlier editions from 1987-1989 (see last image) featured a Wrangler logo based on Steamboat, a square serif face shown by Lettergraphics. The Jeep logo itself is said to be based on Helvetica, possibly using a trimmed U in place of the J.
Perhaps coincidentally, Sarah Connor drives a 1983 Jeep CJ-7 Renegade in The Terminator, which also made use of Earth in its title sequence. In 1987, the Jeep CJ-7 was replaced by the first generation Jeep Wrangler.
