What does a gecko on a car mean?
1 Answers
Meaning of the car gecko logo: Practical meaning: The graphic symbolizes that the four-wheel drive system has strong climbing abilities, just like a gecko. 'Quattro' in Italian means 'four,' and it is also the name of a drive system used in Audi models. The original icon for this system was this gecko, which was also the 'little animal' frequently seen in early Audi advertisements. Lucky symbolism: The word 'gecko' in Chinese sounds like 'protection,' 'avoiding misfortune,' and 'certain fortune.' Sticking a 'gecko' on the car is a way to seek good luck, similar to how some people tie a red ribbon to a new car. Safety reminder: Since geckos are reptiles, placing a 'gecko' on the car serves as a reminder to drivers behind to drive safely. Abstract meaning: The four-legged gecko, powerful and agile, symbolizes 'four-wheel drive.'
