During their stay in America in 1952, Ferry Porsche commissioned Komenda to design the Porsche Emblem.  In the design Komenda included Stuttgart’s heraldic animal, the state heraldry of Baden-Württemburg and the words ‘Porsche’ and ‘Stuttgart’ to express the importance of the company’s link to its roots.  After Komenda had worked out the design and its colours, he clarified the legal situation regarding the use of town and state heraldry.
