This company, which emerged from the German Labor Front, is one of the best known and most trusted brands in the world. The most recent iteration of the logo consists of the letters “V” and “W” which are the company’s initials. In the early years, the logo looked like a stylized cogwheel designed as a swastika symbol. However, the 2000 logo showed the “V” and “W” as beautifully entangled white-colored initials that looked shiny against the blue background!
Mercedes-Benz
1926 to today
The logo of this iconic company has long been the 3-pointed star. There is a special message hidden behind this design. The 3 dots represent land, sea and air – three terrains the company seeks to dominate. During the merger (Mercedes and Benz) in 1926, the 3-pointed star was enclosed in a circle, giving it an iconic look.
