Every brand has a unique logo and definitely there is even a small story
around the design. Here are some of the most famous super car brands’
logos which has been selected as per the popularity around the logo’s
story. 07 Stories Behind the Famous Car Logos after the break...
01. Lamborghini
In the early sisties, Ferruccio Lamborghini spent time with Don Eduardo
Miura, a breeder of prized Spanish fighting bulls, at his home in
Seville. These almost regal animals had such an effect on Lomboghini
that he decided that the logo of his nameske would feature the raging
bull.
02. Ferrari
The elegant prancing horse is almost instantly recognizable as the
symbol for Italian exotic manufacturer, Ferrari. However, this prancing
horse was actually painted on the fuselage of an Italian fighter plane
during World War I. the mother of the heroic fight pilot, asked Enzo
Ferrari to put the prancing horse on all of his cars. She claimed it
will bring good luck. Almost 100 years later, it is still there, on a
bold yellow background the color of Modena.
03. Bowtie (Chevrolet)
The " Bowtie" eblem representing one of the big three in American cars
actually has its roots overseas. It has been said that " bowtie" emblem,
first used in 1914 was the design of the wallpaper in a french hotel
room that GM founder William Durant occupied.
04. BMW
While it has long been assumed that the BMW logo is a representation of
the rotation of a propeller, that has actually been proven to be more
myth than reality. The true story is that when BMW emerged as a result
of a restructuring of Rapp Motorenworke, BMW wanted to maintain the
dynamic of the Rapp logo and layout. Additionally, the blue and white
colors are the predominate colors of the Bavarian flag. hence the new
BMW logo.
05. Subaru
Named after the Japanese word for the Pleiades star cluster, the Subaru
six star logo represents the companies that merged together to form Fuji
Heavy Industries — of which Subaru is the automotive manufacturer.
06. Mercedes — Benz
The Mercedes—Benz three pointed star logo can be traced back to 1870,
when Gottlieb Daimler sent his wife a postcard with he star on it. It
was his desire to see the three pointed star on top of all of their
factories, indicating their triumph over "land, sea, and air."
07. Volvo
The Volvo emblem is actually a fairly close representation of the Mars
symbol, which also symbolized the Roman God of War. OK, so how is this
related to Volvo or cars? Well, this also, became a symbol of the
relationship between the God of War and the metal weapons were
constructed from at the time, iron. This symbol is interpreted as
masculine. Since the Beginning, Volvo founders wanted a symbol of
Strength for their cars and this certainly fit the bill.
