I just read that if it faces towards the left, then it represents a bird, and if it faces towards the right, it represents an Eagle.  But this was on Wikiwhogivesacrap.com so it may not be accurate.

So, the one on the left side of the tank is a bird and the one on the right side of the tank is an eagle.   waytogo  Got it.

Alright, after digging and digging, I discovered the origin of this logo.

It turns out that this logo was originally a "Moto Ducati Eagle" logo and labeled as such during the 1960's and used on the singles:



It was first used on the 1961-1965 250 Monza single:



It was also used on th 250 Scrambler for the 1962-1967 production years as well as the 250 Mach 1 and Mark 3



Use of the Moto Ducati Eagle logo ended use with the 1967 production year.

Near as I can tell, the Mostro Logo that we're discussing was a mod to the original because Ducati didn't used this logo on any production model. Don't get me wrong, I really like it and it's a cool logo - it just wasn't used by Ducati (from what I can find).


Notably, the use of a gold eagle is a direct reference and national symbol of the Italian Air Corp. This symbol was first integrated into a logo and used by Moto Guzzi and later adopted by Ducati. At that time, the eagle was used as a symbolic reference of national pride and has remained a part of the Guzzi logo to this day.





Now, if that question ever comes up in Trivia Pursuit, I know we'll all get the answer right!!  cheeky

Question resolved!  waytogo

It might be an eagle or some other type of Accipiter.

For what its worth, I'm curious about all the sarcasm and lack of real interest in my question. I never would have asked the question in the first place if I didn't think it would be of interest.

Oh well.

The new tank looks great. Have a great day!  waytogo

"Alpi Eagles SpA was an airline based in Italy"

I thought that since Ducati is in Italy, that maybe the eagle had something to do with this.

"As with many raptors, golden eagles may congregate once a year. In Eurasia and North America, this congregation usually occurs in the Autumn (while congregations of bald eagles is a late-winter / early-spring phenomenon). The largest known congregation, in number of birds present, of the golden eagle is in the state of Montana in October."


Clearly this is what led US Desmo to organize their annual Ducs Fly South event each fall.  This year it's happening September 17-19.
