In the Škoda logo, what object is shown with wings?

The Škoda logo shows a winged arrow.

Škoda adopted the winged-arrow emblem in 1926. The symbol consists of an arrowhead, a wing, and a circular form, and it was intended to suggest speed, progress, and technical advancement. It replaced the company’s earlier logo, which used the Škoda name in a more traditional wordmark.

The emblem is sometimes described as an Indian-head motif because early interpretations linked its design to imagery associated with Native Americans. However, the official and enduring description is a winged arrow, not a person or animal.

Škoda’s modern branding has simplified the emblem and separated the wordmark from the symbol in some applications. The logo should not be confused with the winged emblems of Bentley or Aston Martin, which use wings but do not feature Škoda’s central arrow.
