The Zuk logo is the name Żuk in silver script letters, fitted as a metal badge on the front of the van. Żuk is the Polish word for beetle, and the Żuk was a van built by Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych (FSC) in Lublin, Poland.

The Zuk emblem is a lettering badge with no frame around it. The name is written in a flowing handwritten script, and the metal letters are fixed straight onto the grille, so the Zuk badge shows silver against the mesh behind it. The photo on this page shows that original badge on the vehicle, and it is the Zuk truck logo that the light truck carried at the front. The page offers the Zuk logo PNG with a transparent background, and the Zuk symbol stays the same script name throughout.

Zuk History

The FSC Żuk is a van produced by Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych in Lublin, Poland, between 1959 and 1998. It was based on the FSO Warszawa, which was itself licensed from the Soviet passenger car GAZ-M20 Pobeda, so it was similar to a Soviet-developed van, the RAF-977.

The chassis, suspension and engine of the FSO Warszawa formed the basis of the Żuk and the Nysa light vans, which were designed in the late 1950s. About 587,818 Żuk vans were made.
