Here’s where the logo was first seen, at seven seconds into this little ten-second video:
8PM ET: https://t.co/xDcXS7rZ9R pic.twitter.com/U5EJoquQV3 — Ford Mustang (@FordMustang) September 14, 2022 And now we know the head-only logo is going to be used on a manual-transmission (fine, or 10-speed automatic), track-focused variant with a 5-liter, 500 horsepower Coyote V8, which Ford suggests is their most powerful non-turbo V8. There’s road-going and more track-focused variants as well, along with special handling packages.
But, back to that horse head badge: the first time for the lone head, the consensus seemed to be – and this may be urban legend, but I can see it – was that the solitary head felt too much like a chess piece, which wasn’t exactly the tone they were going for.
In the end, they went with a galloping horse designed by artist Phil Clark, and it was decided that it would always face left. Even this wasn’t a foregone conclusion, and they did try them both ways:
Yikes, that’s weird. It’s hard to look at it going the other way. Luckily, that new front-facing horse won’t have this problem. Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse, Bad Horse He rides across the nation The thoroughbred of sin… None of this Dark Horse wimpy stuff! HERE–> https://netcareer54.blogspot.com/ Somewhat unrelated topic here, but I’m really starting to get annoyed at the dress code for “cool” presenters of products. You’ve always got the guy in the t-shirt with a sport coat over it, some lived-in jeans, and tennis shoes. And then there’s the guy in the same clothes, but with a collarless leather jacket instead of the sport coat. I’m not expecting a 3-piece suit when introducing stuff that is supposed to be cool, but my god, these guys all follow the same dress code. Mix it up, guys. Somebody please wear a utility kilt, or maybe bring back knickerbockers. Just show some damn originality.
