More number of men are mesmerized by fast moving cars rather than their women and if it’s about a car like Ferrari, then you can’t blame them for ignoring the fairer sex. Spectacularly beautiful and incomparable to any other car in its class, Ferraris are known world over for their jaw dropping speeds and overall fire under the hood and the logo truly reflects that ferocity. The black prancing stallion is one of the most respected & well recognized corporate identity logos in the world. The horse literally symbolizes the horse power that any Ferrari car would carry and at the same time, it rightly depicts control, skill and intensity. The yellow background gives a unique and striking fillip to the black horse and the black outline around the background gives the logo a dignified and refined appearance. The top portion of the logo design consists of three color bands in green, white & red to enhance the aesthetic grandeur of the design. The words SF on the yellow background stand for Scuderia Ferrari, where the word Scuderia means stable as in a horse stable or barn.

Evolution of the Apple Inc’s Logo Design

Apple Logo Design

One of the biggest success stories in the technological world has been the rise of Apple to become the biggest tech company in 2010. It all started in 1976, from a garage, when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built their first computer and showcased it at the Homebrew Computer club. They decided to go public with their company on 12th December, 1980. Apple’s corporate identity logos have evolved from a complex logo featuring Isaac Newton sitting below an apple tree to a simpler design of a bitten apple. This initial logo was designed by hand and didn’t use any established typeface. Within a year, Apple hired Regis McKenna Agency to design a less complicated logo, which has now become the most recognized logo in the history. They were later sued by Apple Records, a multimedia company founded by English rock band The Beatles, for trademark infringement. The suit was finally settled in 2007. In 2008, Apple got rid of the rainbow design and adopted a slick looking monochrome logo which gives it a much needed flexibility for creating brand identities. Apple has now created a brand image for itself which is unbeatable.
