MASERATI CAR LOGO HISTORY

[adi]

The Maserati brand is renowned for its luxurious and high-performance cars, and its logo is an iconic emblem that has come to represent this Italian car manufacturer. The logo is comprised of a trident, which is a powerful symbol of strength, authority, and prowess in ancient mythology. This emblem is also a tribute to the maritime heritage of the Maserati family, with the trident being the weapon of the sea god, Neptune.
The design of the Maserati logo is simple yet elegant, with a blue trident adorned with red accents against a pristine white background. The trident is encircled by a vibrant red ring with the word "Maserati" written in bold capital letters. The blue color of the trident signifies the brand's commitment to innovation and technology, while the red embodies its passion and excitement. The white backdrop symbolizes purity and perfection, reflecting the unparalleled quality and precision of Maserati cars.
The history of the Maserati Car logo is a fascinating journey that spans over a century, encapsulating the brand's rich heritage and its evolution over time.

Interesting, but odd that it doesn’t mention the actual reason for the trident. The original Maserati garage was located in the centre of Bologna, very close to the Statue of Neptune, who, as well as being surrounded by voluptuous maidens riding dolphins, is holding a rather large trident.

My avatar is an original Mistral trident I found in a box of Lamborghini bits n bobs! It would be interesting to see how the grille badges have evolved over the years.

The grille badges were more substantial though.

That chart misses out the latest bonnet badge, as seen on the MC20 (for example), which is just blue and white (as the formerly red trident is now blue).
