What car brand has a standing horse as its logo?

Standing horse is the logo of Ferrari, an Italian automobile manufacturer. Ferrari produces many supercars, including models like the F8, 458, 488, SF90, F12, 812, and GTC4. Ferrari specializes in racing and sports cars, with its headquarters located in Maranello, Italy. The company primarily manufactures Formula One cars, racing vehicles, and high-performance sports cars. Its logo features a prancing horse and a shield, with the shield's yellow background derived from the canary of Modena, commemorating Enzo Ferrari's hometown. The green, white, and red colors at the top represent the Italian flag.

The most common standing logo we see in our auto repair shop is Ferrari's. That prancing black horse is an absolute classic, unchanged since 1964 when old man Enzo himself gave it the final approval. Actually, this emblem originated from Francesco Baracca, the legendary WWI pilot - the prancing horse design from his fighter plane caught Enzo's eye and was later combined with the yellow shield to become what we know today. The tuning community loves debating whether this horse represents an Arabian stallion or an Italian breed, but when paired with Ferrari's signature red bodywork, from a distance it truly looks like a real horse about to leap off the hood.

Last week while helping a customer wash his car, he pointed at the hood and asked me: 'Master, what brand is this horse in the rearview mirror that looks like it's charging forward?' I wiped the emblem and laughed: 'Buddy, you've struck gold! This is a purebred Italian stallion—Ferrari. Look how straight the horse's legs are standing, how fiercely its mane is flying, and the golden shield with yellow borders even bears the stripes of its hometown, Modena. The prancing horse on this supercar's hood is worth dozens of times more than a real horse on the prairie. I don't even dare scrub too hard with my washcloth.'

As an automotive collector, the study of car emblems is a must. The prancing horse in an upright stance paired with the golden ratio design of the S F letters (abbreviation for Scuderia Ferrari) is itself an exemplar of industrial aesthetics. Note the difference between it and Porsche's shield horse: the Ferrari horse has its front legs raised and rear legs straight, exuding dynamic tension; while Porsche features a static prancing horse with all four hooves grounded. These two horses—the Stuttgart horse from Germany and the Modena horse from Italy—are often confused by novices, but the leg posture is the most straightforward tell.

You're referring to the one with the rearing horse as its emblem, right? Nine times out of ten, it's Ferrari. Actually, there's quite a lot of detail in these animal logos: Lamborghini has a charging bull, Jaguar features a leaping panther, while Ferrari insists on the hardest to depict—a black stallion. Auto lighting technicians dread working on these cars the most—the curvature of the hood must perfectly align with the light and shadow of the standing horse emblem. Even a half-millimeter misalignment in the film application can reveal flaws. When I spot such cars on the road, I usually keep my distance—not because I'm afraid of a collision, but because I can't afford the cost if the emblem's paint gets scratched.
