Beck's logo is derived from the coat of arms of Bremen, which contain a silver key on a red shield. The key is the attribute of Saint Peter, patron saint of the Bremen Cathedral. Beck's used Bremen's coat of arms as its logo from 1877 until 1884, when it adopted its own version using a modified key slanted in the opposite direction. The city had objected to the unmodified use of its coat of arms, as it no longer wanted to be connected with the production of alcohol.^[6]

The brewery sponsored Jaguar in Formula 1 until 2004.^[7]
