What are the characteristics of car logos?
1 Answers
Cars' logos all have distinctive features. Mercedes-Benz: In June 1909, Daimler Company registered the three-pointed star as the logo for their cars, symbolizing mechanization on land, water, and air. In 1916, a circle was added around the star, with four small stars embedded at the top of the circle and the word 'Mercedes' at the bottom. Audi: The logo of Audi consists of four interlinked rings, representing the four companies that merged. These companies were originally manufacturers of bicycles, motorcycles, and small passenger cars. Volkswagen: The German name of Volkswagen, 'Volks-Wagenwerk,' means 'the car for the people.' The logo features 'VW,' the initials of the full name. Toyota: Toyota's logo of three ellipses has been in use since the early 1990s. The large ellipse represents the Earth, and the two perpendicular ellipses forming a 'T' in the middle stand for Toyota. Ford: The Ford logo uses the word 'Ford' in blue with white letters. Since the founder Henry Ford liked small animals, the designer made the word 'Ford' resemble a little white rabbit.
