Have you guys imagine why the Versace logo uses Medusa's head in the middle?

Or maybe where the famous Louis Vuitton logo could exist?

The goods logos play a very important role. They became the identity of the top fashion designers. Once the logo is used then the logo will be the identity of the item. Then from where are the bright ideas in making the logo come?


1. Versace - Head of Medusa

There is a bloody history behind Medusa's head. In Greek mythology, Medusa was beheaded by Perseus. He also ended up using Medusa's head into a weapon. After that Medusa's head was carried by Athena and placed on his shield.

Medusa's head is a row of vipers that make him a highly calculated weapon. The transformation and story of Medusa finally inspired Gianni Versace to wear it as a logo. This is because Medusa has an appeal that makes people unable to escape from it. Every person who is hypnotized by him will become his prey. Medusa's very attractive head is finally analogy with the quality of its deadly products. That's why Gianni Versace chose Medusa's head to become his product logo!
