Few of the dozens of brands that play a role in the automotive world have made their name known and sought after by all age groups. Undeniably one of the first car giants to achieve this success. It’s Ferrari.

engraved on yellow font You know the bred black horse. So how much do we know about the graphics in Ferrari’s logo? Here is the adventure of the rise of this world famous logo…

Let’s talk about the variations of the logo first.

The first variation The Prancing Horse, engraved in black on a rectangular decal the second is the image of a rearing horse engraved on a background reminiscent of an ancient war shield.

This horse has the letters S on the left and the letters F on the right. These letters are the initials of Scuderia Ferrari. Scuderia means “horse” in Italian. Scuderia Ferrari can be translated as ‘The Horses of Ferrari’. It is possible to see the color combinations of the Italian flag in the Ferrari logo variants adapted to the modern world (you can see these different logos in other images).

It’s a situation we’re used to seeing images of horses in cars.

Horse of Ford Mustang a running Mustang horse Porsche’s home country is Stuttgart, Germany, and the region is known for its horses. In fact, Porsche’s first building was ever a horse farm, so the Prancing Horse are just two examples. What about Ferrari?

The horses of all cars are special, but the horses of Ferrari the kind that enter history. Because Ferrari’s horse was not Ferrari’s in the first place. The image of the black prancing horse is actually Count Francesco BaraccaIt was a symbol of. Francesco was an accomplished Italian fighter pilot who fought during World War I. Above all the planes he flew, he carried this prancing black horse at any cost.

Some historical authorities by the Duke of Savoy in 1962 Traces of this horse have been found on used flags. Some people describe this horse on Francesco’s plane as proof that he defeated a pilot in Stuttgart as a result of a duel. As I mentioned before, Stuttgart is a region known for its horses.

While this information is a bit fuzzy, Francesco, who is known for his extraordinary success beating more than thirty pilots, lose his last duel He died and is still remembered as a popular folk hero.

Enzo Ferrari had the chance to meet Count Enrico Baracca and Countess Pailano Baracca in 1923 after winning a race in the Savio region. In their conversation, Enzo spoke of his enthusiasm for his brand, while Countess Pailano told Enzo in their car. using the rearing black horse He claimed it would bring good luck to him and his firm and suggested that he use this image.

The Italian flag has no yellow, but why is the logo font yellow?

If the yellow color is in the font of the logo Modena It is a reference to the city. The yellow color Ferrari used for Modena, the city where he was born, is also reflected in the bodywork of most of the cars he produces.

The original color of Ferrari is not red, but rather yellow. However, the reason for their shift to red over time was that the color red was a regulation in motorsport activities organized in ancient times. The main reason for this regulation is the fatal accidents in the newspapers, on the body of the car. It was clear that there were traces of spilled blood. The race cars had to be red so that these blood trails would not be visible in the black and white newspapers.

This was seen as a necessary rule not to be disrespectful to both the public and the racers. After that, Ferrari had to part with its main colours, yellow, although it changed its body colours. did not change the yellow font.

If you come across a Ferrari along the way, we recommend adding the logo to your admiration for the design and engineering.
