Porsche is a German automobile manufacturer specializing in high-performance and luxury sports cars, SUVs, and sedans. Porsche was created in 1931 as a design engineering department by Ferdinand Porsche. The horse on the Porsche logo, which was taken from Stuttgart’s Coat of Arms, represents the stud farm (a term for a horse-breeding farm, so “stud farm” in German is Stuttgart or Stuotgarten) on which the city was built. In addition, The antlers and the black/red stripes on the logo were influenced by the Free People's State of Württemberg seal, as the state colors are black and red. The Porsche symbol pays homage to Stuttgart, where Porsche’s headquarters are located. Württemberg’s old coat of arms is the Porsche logo’s origins and a part of Germany’s history.
