Zastava

Detailed, widely documented information about a distinct historic Zastava corporate logo is limited in public sources. Zastava began as an industrial works in Kragujevac (originally a foundry and weapons works) and entered automobile manufacturing after World War II, producing licensed Fiat models from the 1950s onward. The company became best known internationally for small economy cars (notably the Yugo exported in the 1980s) and for its long history as a state-owned industrial concern in Yugoslavia/Serbia. Over decades the brand identity was closely tied to the factory and its exports rather than to a single, widely published modern brand guideline.
