Ferrari logo and symbol, meaning, history, PNG
- What does SF on the Ferrari logo mean?
- The SF monogram from the iconic Ferrari logo stands for “Scuderia Ferrari”, which can be translated from Italian as “Stable”, where the racing horses were kept.
- The iconic symbol, designed in the 1920s has never left the automaker’s visual identity, as was put there as a tribute of the real Hero.
- It is also surprising that on the first motorcycles of the Ducati brand the same symbol was used – a rearing horse (with reference to the coat of arms of the same Stuttgart).
- 1929 – 1931 The black prancing horse on a yellow shield first appeared on the Ferrari cars in 1929, but not many know, that the roots of this iconic emblem are deep in the aviation industry and Italian history.
- The prancing horse was the symbol, the national hero Francesco Baracca, placed on his planes during the World War I.
- The original Ferrari logo was composed of a yellow shield with black, red, and white lines on its top and letters “S” and “F” (standing for Scuderia Ferrari) on the bottom.
- The black horse was placed in the middle of the emblem, drawn in profile, turning left.
- 1931 – 1939 In 1931 the shield was slightly modified.
- Its upper curved part became straight horizontal and was now colored in the Italian flag palette — green, white and red.
- The horse was also redrawn with its contours more distinct and clean, all the white accents were gone and replaced by yellow.
- 1939 – Today The Ferrari logo, introduced in 1939 is slightly different from all the other badges of the brand.
- Another important change was about wordmark.
- The “SF” lettering was replaced by the “Ferrari” logotype in black.
- The contours became slightly cleaner and the only visible change was made to the flag — the black lines between green, white and red stripes were removed, which made the whole badge look smoother and more elegant.
- Symbol The main symbol of the brand Ferrari, therefore, is a horse that has got up on its hind legs.
- Emblem The shape of the emblem varied depending on the fashion trends in industrial design.
- Later the form changed, the red color was almost eliminated, but the heraldic structure (the figure on the coat of arms) was preserved in almost all variations.
- Color Black horse, the central figure of the logo, in its very color symbolizes power and extravagance.
- But the yellow background color has not only the symbolism of the color itself and its shrill brightness and festivity.
