The emblem was slightly changed in color until it received the final version — a golden fighting bull on a black background.

Afterwards, all logos were connected with the image of bull. The founder of the brand was a Taurus by horoscope and a big fan of bullfighting. The businessman believed that the image of the zodiac symbol would bring him good luck, and also demonstrate the power of the brand’s sports cars.
