Mustang logo’s Gets a new look
Ford Motor Co. has unveiled a new Mustang logo that will debut on the new 2010
Ford Mustang, The Detroit News notes. “We wanted to give the Mustang pony a more realistic feel,” said Douglas Gaffka, chief designer for the 2010 Mustang.
“We lifted the head to make the pony more proud, tipped the neck into the wind to give it a feeling of greater speed and better balance. It’s more chiseled and more defined and looks more like a wild horse.” Ford also believes the new badge looks “faster.” Senior designer Rick Howard spent hours researching images of horses and their appearance in wild settings. The logo was last updated in 2005.
