The History of the Versace Logo

Growing up in Rome, Gianni Versace was heavily influenced by the


Greek artwork that is common in the area. In fact, Gianni Versace
claimed that the inspiration for the Versace logo came from artwork
on the floor of the ruins in Rome that he and his siblings used to play
on. Gianni said that he chose Medusa specifically because of the way
that she made people fall hopelessly in love with her with no chance
of ever going back, and he hoped that his company would have the
same effect on the people who purchased Versace products.
