Toyota Founded: 1937 Headquarter: Tokyo, Japan Though the logo for Toyota looks like a T, it is actually three elipses depicting the heart of the customer, the heart of the product, and the ever-expanding technological advancements and boundless opportunities that lie ahead. This symbol also represented Mars, the God of War, and also the symbol for ‘man’. The Volvo car and brand was sold to Ford in 1999. The current Toyota Mark consists of three ovals: the two perpendicular center ovals represent a relationship of mutual trust between the customer and Toyota. These ovals combine to symbolise the letter ‘T’ for Toyota. The space in the background implies a global expansion of Toyota’s technology and unlimited potential for the future. 1 Like

Skoda Founded: 1895 Headquarter: Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic Although the Skoda logo is viewed as one of the most original and stylistically clean manufacturing company trademarks in the world, the author is not yet known. The black and green logo, which has been used since 1994, gives the Skoda brand a greater degree of originality — black symbolises the hundred-year tradition, green signalises environmental production.

Rolls Royce Founded: 1906 Headquarter: Buckingham Gate, London The Rolls Royce logo consisting of the two ‘R’s or the double R clearly stands for the Rolls and Royce, two founders of this car manufacturing company.

He was introduced to Charles Stewart Rolls in a Manchester hotel on the May 4 that year, and the pair agreed a deal where Royce would manufacture cars, to be sold exclusively by Rolls. A clause was added to the contract, stipulating the cars would be called ‘Rolls-Royce’.

Renault Founded: 1899 Headquarter: Boulogne-Billancourt, France The first Renault logo designed in 1900 features the initials of the three Renault brothers — Louis, Ferdinand and Marcek drawn on a medallion. In 1906, the company changed its logo to represent the front end of a car enclosed in a gear wheel. In 1919, the company replaced its logo with the image of a tank. In 1923, the company replaced its tank logo with the Grille-shaped logo and introduced the name of the car ‘Renault’ in its logo for the first time. In 1925, the diamond replaced the circle and Renault became the ‘diamond brand’ and is called the same today. In 1946, the brand was nationalised becoming Regie Nationale des Usines Renault. This name is immediately added to the brand diamond, which is now Yellow. The term ‘Regie Nationale’ was dropped in 1959. In 1972, Renault modernised its logo. The designer, Victor Vaserely redesigned the diamond in the shape of a dynamic 3-D diamond. In 1992, the logo is enlarged and produced in relief, as part of Renualt’s drive for progress, quality and innovation. In 2004, Renault presents a new interpretation of its logo, placed on a warm yellow background. In 2007, Renault begins a wave of 26 vehicle launches.

Jeep Founded: 1941 Headquarter: Toledo, Ohio, USA The Jeep logo as it stands currently represents the front of the vehicle. It consists of two circles representing the headlights and vertical bars representing the grill in the front of the car. The word Jeep runs on top of the logo. Jeep started out as a military vehicle and was later considered a Willys-Overland model, so it didn’t originally have a logo. Probably the closest thing to a Jeep logo appeared in 1963 in the centre of Wagoneer and Gladiator hubcaps and steering wheels. The interesting thing about this logo is that never seen on the car itself. The car just has the words ‘Jeep’ on it. The logo is primarily used for advertising and marketing purposes

FIAT Founded: 1899 Headquarter: Turin, Italy The FIAT is an acronym for Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino (Italian car factory of Turin), founded by a group of investors. The current Fiat logo has the letters F-I-A-T written with a silver line between each of them. The lines were added by the company’s design chief when one day passing under the factory, he noticed the sky at the backdrop of the huge FIAT letters on the top of the building. The lines added are the spaces he saw in the company’s name over the building and decided to keep it. Fiat was founded in Turin on July 12, 1899.

Mazda is a brand obsessed with symbolism. The name comes from Ahura Mazda, the god of wisdom, intelligence and harmony in early Asian civilizations. It also derives from the name of its founder, Jujiro Matsuda. Its current logo was introduced in 1998. We'll let Mazda describe the symbolic complexity: Capturing the spirit of Mazda, the stylised "M" evokes an image of wings in flight and symbolises the Mazda’s flight toward the future. The "V" in the centre of the "M" spreads out like an opening fan, representing the creativity, vitalty, flexibilty and passion that is Mazda. The symbol as a whole expresses the sharp, solid feeling that Mazda will be seeking in all of its products. The dynamic circle symbolises our readiness to spread our wings as we enter the 21st century. Read more: http://www.businessinsider.com/car-logos-2011-5?op=1#ixzz3FgHi4k6t
