Logo for a project called Flat Six, named after the Porsche engine.
The main component of the logo showcases stylized pistons of the Flat Six engine. This is a nod to the engine’s unique flat configuration, which has contributed to its unparalleled performance and distinctive sound. The silhouette embodies the engineering marvel that the Flat Six is, while also symbolizing the heart of the project.
The logo embraces symmetry to signify balance and harmony, traits that are pivotal in both Porsche’s engineering and the Flat Six engine’s design. The symmetrical lines and proportions echo the precision engineering that is a hallmark of Porsche’s creations.
The color palette is inspired by Porsche’s iconic colors, such as the classic Guards Red, and Carrara White. These colors not only pay homage to Porsche’s legacy but also evoke a sense of speed, dynamism, and excitement.
A flat-six engine, also known as a horizontally opposed-six, is a six-cylinder piston engine with three cylinders on each side of a central crankshaft. The most common type of flat-six engine is the boxer-six engine, where each pair of opposed cylinders moves inwards and outwards at the same time. An alternative configuration for flat engines is as a 180-degree V engine, where both cylinders move to the right then the left at the same time. – Wikipedia
