Meaning of the Logo:
The story of Ferrari’s logo will take you back to history. The ultimate automobile brand and its logo comes from days of World War I. As Ferrari has to say, the logo came into existence when Papa Enzo inspired the image from a red horse painted on fuselage of Count Francesco Baracca, who was an ace pilot in Italian air force and had also been one of the splendid hero of the World War I. Enzo had once said, “In ’23, I met Count Enrico Baracca, the hero’s father and then his mother, Countess Paolina, who said to me one day, ‘Ferrari, put my son’s prancing horse on your cars. It will bring you good luck.’ The horse was, and still is, black. And I added the canary-yellow background, which is the color of Modena [Enzo’s birthplace].” The logo was then transformed into black and hence the current logo today.

Meaning of the Logo:
Mustang, another one of the top brands among cars has an astonishing and quiet different logo. When it comes to Mustang and its logo, one can see a horse, but if noticed with detail, it can be grabbed that the horse is running in the opposite direction. The traditional way the horse runs is always right, but the logo of Mustang has its logo on the left side. The logo facing on the left means that the horse is free and is roaming around with rage, passion and challenge. The “pony car” represents the speed and quality of the car that Mustang has to offer.

Part 2

Just like everything you do has a story behind it, the brands and companies have their logos based on a particular incident or imagery. Undoubtedly it always remains a mystery until you try to find it out.

There is a story behind everything. Ever wondered why the logo of a company has a capital ‘F’ in it and not a small ‘f’? It just encompasses your mind, doesn't it? And most of the times it is just unnecessary to notice or give it the time that it actually needs. I mean why would you even spend time thinking as to why the logo of a company has a certain geometric figure in it and why it has to be the way it is. What difference would it otherwise make? Well, honestly you do not spend 2% of the total amount of time that has been spent while creating and designing the logo. The logo of a company is an overall image of a corporation, firm or business. A graphic mark, an emblem to promote and market that company.

Did you know the story behind the logo of these companies?

ULYSSE NARDIN HANNIBAL MINUTE REPEATER TOURBILLION
A dream watch, only 30 pieces in the entire world, and the cost of a fortune, this rare timepiece is the exact dedication to royal and prestige class in the world, I must say. A crazy beautiful and antique depiction of the army journeying in a war and featuring the military history. What makes this watch so unique and immortal is the fact that it represents a harmony between Art and War, where both of them support each other. Where both go hand in hand and complement each other. Undoubtedly, Art is beautiful and War comes with its horrors, but let’s go into the literal sense of both the happenings. In War, we fight for life, whereas Art helps us to understand the nature of life, the way it works, the way it should work and how it is ruined, the complexities that ruin the smooth runnning of life. The watch takes its inspiration from a conflict, which is much more ingenious as to conflict between Art and War or the conflict between mechanical and literary. The Art on the watch shows the Hannibal and his men crafted in white gold and set on a dial of graphite where Hannibal and his army of elephants is en route to their war with Rome across the mountains. The literal meaning is quite ubiqutious, whether war in art is the same as the war in life. It could be a metaphor for the internal conflicts that rage inside each and every one of us, this is what the watch that costs you a fortune is playing in--the literal meaning of Life and War and Art and its Theory.

LLOYDS BANK
The seventeenth century saw a rise of decorative symbols since people were not used to alphabets owing to illiteracy. In fact, the distinctive designs and symbols would help the consumers identify the brand with much ease. The black horse symbol was inherited from goldsmiths, the forerunners of the modern banks. By 1728, the black horse was initially being used by Lombard street goldsmith which later was overtaken by Lloyds bank. The bank had its own symbol as a beehive that represented thrift and industry, which was combined with the dark horse and resulted in the present logo of the bank. The galloping equine with design ornamenting it in black and white shades makes the logo look more attractive. The logo featured extensively in promotional and advertising campaigns and enriched raising public awareness of the Lloyds Bank name around the world. The symbol thus became the most favorable symbol in that time. The horse is also often referred to as “ The black horse”.

LEVI STRAUSS
Just as some usual brand would adopt a method, Levi's founder had something innovative and completely disparate in his mind. The idea evolved from the fact that not many people were aware of the words in the west and english was unknown to the entire world and education was not within the reach of the majority, which paved a new way for symbols. The brand that prides its heritage and its accomplishments had to have a logo that is meticulously rememberable. In 1873, Jacob Davis and company founder, Levi Strauss, invented their first blue jeans and had to convey their work to their customers that the jeans is comparatively strong and long lasting. The quality of their jeans was appreciable and incomparable and to create the effect they invented the two horses in opposite direction, trying to tear the jeans, in vain. The purpose behind their immediate consideration was the patent that was to expire in some years. Later, the jeans got famous for the title “ the jeans with the two horses”. The company was then onwards recognized as the “two-horse brand” till 1928, after which they adopted Levi’s trademark. The idea behind the logo remains the same as it was 125 years ago and is continuing to spread the same message since then. There have been modifications and renovations in the logo but the basic concept and the ideology has been constant. Funny, how two horses and one message game played and ruled the entire clothing brand. That was the effect of using a symbol of an animal that is quite a sharp and strong animal and the jeans that could resist the tear of a strong organ.

THE RED HORSE BEER BOTTLE
A deeply hued lager with distinctive sweetish taste, balanced by a smooth bitterness that leads in a strong alcohol kick. If you’re in the Philippines this weekend and looking forward to having a great time with friends, everyone chiming in with their own tales of comedic debauchery, you should not miss the empirical Red Horse Beer Bottle. There are a lot of undying myths and stories behind making the most loved beer all across Philippines. One of them includes that the beer comes with a mixed notion of gin, and thus comes its more intoxicating effect. The extra strong beer is formulated in a way which is unknown till date. The Philippines has a good amount of best alcohol, is Internationally recognized and exported in all parts of the world. But the red beer story is more appealing and intriguing to the consumers. The story behind the enriching taste of this beer is:

Among all those red horse bottles of beer in the Philippines, there is this one bottle that looks completely different with a smiling horse logo because when every other horse is showing its side view with a poker face, this horse is busy smiling and seems to have a lot of fortune and attainment of enlightenment. This horse is smiling and the smile itself is the heavenly, unusual. In additon, the red horse bottle is considered to have more alcohol content than the other beers, which is technically not yet proven. Thus, the story of the mysterious beer is still a mystery and its increased effect on the minds of the consumers is still not known. Some predict it to be psychological and some to be just fake rumors. However, you must not miss this beer!

COACH
Known for its leather products including handbags, watches, luggage, eyewear, footwear, and other accessories, The Coach is a world-renowned American company headquartered in New York City since 1941. The logo remains the most memorable logo in the leatherware industry-designed by Bonnie Cashin, a legendary American artist and fashion designer. The classic horse is a symbol of luxury, elegance, social status and royal dignity. Of course, horses are a symbol of royalty since time immemorial. Therefore, a lot of brands with high etiquette have settled with a horse in their logo. The black color of the logo represents the prestige, strength, simplicity, refinement, and trust in the company. A staple for upper-middle class, the coach’s logo is a best-suited example of how a logo can turn the times of a brand. The minor tweaks have helped the logo to move forward in the company's advertisement and its marketing and a fitting reason to make a change in the classic. The logo has been changed quite often but the color, the font and the background has not lost its significance.

MENDIS COCONUT BRANDY
The image of an equestrian symbol is itself a remark of royalty, prestige, unaffordablity and high status. Released in 2007, Mendis Coconut Brandy is the world’s first clear brandy distilled from coconut and matured in special halmilla wood casks. Its first release was sold for $1 million. Quite too much, isn't it? The logo of the bottle represents more of a unicorn, adding to the poise and sophistication of the brandy. The logo obviously hints to the fact that the brandy can be a home to the luxury society and its gracefulness can be a tasted by only a few. The unusual, yet replinishing brandy derives its royalty from its ingredients and is a world famous brand. When n,ewly launched the brand had to put in a lot of effort to sustain their importance in the market to which a lot of credit will go to its logo.

STANG, FORD
The most adored logo in the world of a sports car, Mustang prides itself in the logo that was developed after much hard work and creative designing. Very few people know as to what inspired Philip Thomas to have a running pony as a logo in his new upcoming sports car, Mustang. Philip Thomas was 27 when he was first asked to prepare the logo for the sports car. This being his first project in the Ford had to be a remarkable one. The image of pony came to his mind after 100 days of his creative thinking, and trying his hands out in all possible directions. The famous artist was known to sketch different animals, but his idea of this logo had to have the elements of a new model, something innovative, exuberant that could determine the strength of this car and the American spirit. The logo has also had a lot of conspiracies about why the pony is galloping in the left direction, to which the answers were absurd and not art factory. One of those reasons included the left-hand sketch of the artist which was convenient in drawing the horse galloping toward left. However, this may or may not be the story. The big controversy is that even till date. after a half-century of the invention, we are still unaware of the truth of the basic idea that might have led to the growth of the design. The latest design was modified in 2010 with more skeptical, curvy and a muscular pony thrivng towrad the left depicting a thrill of energy. A remarkable invention.
