The Famous Stag Logo

The company’s Stag logo was prominently displayed on an insurance policy bought by President Abraham Lincoln in 1861. The stag was also known as a “hart.” Sir Edwin Landseer painted a scene entitled “The Monarch of The Glen”, which featured a stag (or hart) crossing a stream (or ford.) It made perfect sense to use this image as a logo to represent a company called “The Hartford.”
