Porsche has released a awesome video (if you’re a fan), providing insight into how the beautiful enamel crest on a classic 911 is made. The emblem has recently been relaunched for the Porsche 356 and the early 911s from Porsche Classic.
In order to offer a historically accurate product, they studied the old process and discovered that between 1952 and 1998, there were three slightly different versions.
To reproduce the classic badge, they start the process with a metal sculptor. A metal mold is created, which stamps the shape. This is then cured and galvanized, then polished to a bright luster.
The iconic Porsche logo has its roots in the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Württemberg, a state that existed in Germany from 806 to 1918, located in the area that is now Baden-Württemberg. The only major difference is the prancing horse in the middle, which is the coat of arms of Stuttgart. So, lots of history and heritage there!
