The Italian fashion house featuring the head of Medusa in its logo is Versace.
Gianni Versace chose the Medusa image for the company logo, drawing on the ancient Greek art and mythology of Calabria, the region in southern Italy where he grew up. The Medusa head was inspired by imagery found in the ruins of Reggio Calabria, including ancient mosaics. In Greek mythology, Medusa was a Gorgon whose gaze could turn people to stone.
The logo’s meaning fits Versace’s bold visual identity: Medusa represents beauty, danger, fascination, and an ability to make people fall under her spell. The emblem first appeared as the fashion house developed during the 1990s and became a central feature of its clothing, accessories, and home designs.
Versace is often confused with Gucci, Prada, or Armani because all are major Italian luxury houses. Their logos are different: Versace uses the mythological head, while Gucci is associated with interlocking G’s and Prada with a typographic wordmark and heraldic design.
