Which fashion brand uses a polo player on horseback as its logo?

The story behind the answer

Ralph Lauren uses a polo player on horseback as its signature logo.

The emblem shows a mounted polo player raising a mallet, reflecting the brand’s long association with the style and traditions of polo. Ralph Lauren introduced its Polo line in 1967, and the polo-player mark became one of the most recognizable symbols in fashion.

The logo is commonly called the Polo Pony, although the company’s brand name is Ralph Lauren. It appears on clothing, accessories, fragrance packaging, and other products associated with the Polo Ralph Lauren label.

A frequent mix-up is confusing the logo with Lacoste’s crocodile or Burberry’s equestrian knight. Those brands also use recognizable animal or riding imagery, but the single mounted polo player is specifically associated with Ralph Lauren. The logo represents a sporting image rather than a particular historical polo player.
