All brands of cars with emblems. Logos and names of car brands

29.12.2021

I'm sure most people don't even know what the emblems on the cars symbolize. This article provides information on the origin and meaning of the logos of the world's major car manufacturers.

There are many variations on the interpretation of the emblems on the web. Almost all of these versions are fictional. On the pages of one automotive forum, I came across the opinion that the Toyota emblem is a stylized image of a bull's head. Of course, it is wrong and has nothing to do with the history of the firm. I was surprised that the person who expounded this version was completely sure that he was right.

In the process of writing this article, more than two hundred different sources (including official data) were analyzed, so you can be sure of the accuracy of the information on this page.

Audi AG (Ingolstadt, Germany)

Audi emblem - four metal rings. The intertwining of these rings symbolizes the unbreakable unity of the four founding companies: Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. In 1932, these previously independent firms were merged into an alliance - "Auto Union".

The carmaker was named after its founder, August Horch. The fact is that the word Horch (German Horch - "listen") in translation into Latin sounds like "Audi".

Here, naturally, a question arises. Why didn't the company get the name of the founder? The fact is that August Horch opened his own automobile company (A. Horch & Cie) in 1899. After 10 years he was outlived from his own company, and he founded a new one, already in another city, continuing to use the same brand - Horch. His former partners sued him and sued the brand, so August was forced to come up with a new name for the company.

Bayerische Motorenwerke (Munich, Germany)

There is a misconception that the Bayerische Motorenwerke emblem is a stylized image of a rotating airplane propeller. But in fact, the Bavarian flag is taken as the basis for the BMW logo (this is how the National Geographic channel interprets the origin of the logo).

BMW was founded by Karl Friedrich Rapp in 1913 on the Bavarian lands near the Flugmaschinenfabrik aircraft factory. Initially, the company produced aircraft engines. In 1923, BMW produces its first motorcycle. Later, in 1929, he produces the first car under the name Dixi.

Citroen (Paris, France)

The Citroen emblem is a schematic representation of the teeth of a chevron wheel. A chevron wheel is a gear with V-shaped teeth (this structure of the teeth solves the problem of axial force, when using chevron wheels there is no need to install shafts on thrust bearings).

The company was named after its founder, André Citroën.

In 1913, André Citroën established the production of such gears, which in many respects exceeded the products of competitors. This explains the choice of the logo.

Few people know that PSA Peugeot Citroen is the parent company of Citroen. The automobile company PSA Peugeot Citroen (formerly Peugeot SA) in 1974 bought 38.2% of the shares of Citroen, and by 1976 brought this share to 89.95% (at this time Citroen was on the verge of bankruptcy). After that, this company was created, producing Peugeot and Citroen cars.

The two brands, owned by PSA Peugeot Citroen, have independent marketing and retailing structures, but the development and production of the models is carried out by common divisions.

Infiniti (Tokyo, Japan)

At first, the designers wanted to use the infinity symbol in the emblem - the Moebius loop. But then they decided to display in the emblem the symbol of the road leading to infinity, a symbol hinting at an endless path to perfection in everything.

The name of the brand is translated as infinity, infinity.

Infiniti is a subsidiary of Nissan and has an interesting history. It all started in the distant sixties of the 20th century. During this time, Nissan entered the US market. The Americans sensed the benefits and began to buy inexpensive and reliable cars from the company. Soon Nissan established itself as a manufacturer of economy class cars, in this regard, it was impractical to launch cars of a higher level on the market under the same brand. For this, the Infiniti brand was created.

Mazda Motor Corporation (Hiroshima, Japan)

The emblem of this car company flaunts a stylized letter "M", depicting spread wings. The firm was named after the Zoroastrian God of Life named Ahura Mazda (aka Ohrmazd). Also, the word "Mazda" is consonant with the name of the founder Dzudziro Matsuda (1875-1952).

The company was founded in 1920, and began its activity with the production of building materials from balsa wood. In 1927, the company began the industrial production of automobiles.

And now what is the famous Zoom-Zoom. Look at how children play cars, listen to what they say at the same time - "vzhzhzh-vzhzhzh". Duck, children in English-speaking countries do it like this - "zoom-zoom" (zoom-zoom). This is how Mazda shows the image of a brand with a sporty character that can lead the buyer to children's delight.

Mercedes-Benz (Stuttgart, Germany)

The emblem was created in the form of a three-pointed star, symbolizing the brand's superiority in the air, on water and on land, since Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft (it is the parent company for Mercedes-Benz), in addition to cars, produced engines for aviation and ships.

In 1926, a laurel wreath for victories in auto racing began to flaunt on the Mercedes emblem.

It is also interesting that the Mercedes brand got its name in honor of the daughter of one of the founders of the concern - Emil Jellinek.

Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (Tokyo, Japan)

The emblem of this concern is a merger of the family coats of arms of the founders: the Iwasaki clan (three rhombuses) and the Tosa clan (three oak leaves growing from one point).

The Mitsubishi company name consists of two Japanese words: Mitsu and Hishi. Mitsu, translated from Japanese, means the number three. The word Hishi is translated as chestnut, water walnut, and it is also used to indicate a diamond shape.

I would like to note one fact - the emblem of this company has never changed and, to this day, has a pristine appearance.

Also, I think it will be interesting for you to know that Mitsubishi is not limited to the production of cars. This is a whole corporation, the range of activities of which is very wide: from paper production (Mitsubishi Paper Mills) to the production of tanks, ships and even spaceships (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries).

Opel (Rüsselsheim, Germany)

The Opel emblem features lightning.

For the first time the word Blitz appears on bicycles and sewing machines (at the time the company did not make cars yet) Adam Opel in 1890. Blitz (translated from German - lightning fast, fast) symbolizes lightning speed and speed.

Renault S. A. (Paris, France)

The Renault emblem, since 1925, has been shaped like a stylized diamond. The modern version of the logo was introduced by Victor Vasarely in 1972. And the first Renault logo was drawn in 1900, it contained the initials of the three Renault brothers: Louis, Ferdinand and Marcel.

At the age of 21, Louis Renault designed his first car in the courtyard of his parents' house. Soon he began to receive orders for cars and in 1898, with his brothers and friends, he founded Societe Renault Freres in Boulogne-Billancourt (this is a western suburb of Paris).

Škoda Auto (Mlada Boleslav, Czech Republic)

The Skoda emblem depicts an arrow, on the arrow the tip of a bird's wing with a circle (eye).

Symbols of logo elements:

The wing symbolizes the scope of the company's car production and sales program around the world, the versatility of production;
The circle (eye) on the wing indicates precision in production and open-mindedness;
The arrow is a symbol of progressive production methods and high productivity;
The large circle (ring) symbolizes the perfection of products, the versatility of production, the globe, the world;
Black indicates centuries-old traditions;
Green indicates that the company cares about the environment.

Subaru (Tokyo, Japan)

In the constellation Taurus, there is a cluster of stars called Subaru (this is the Japanese name, in the west it is called the Pleiades). In this constellation, with the naked eye, 6 stars are visible, which we see on the company logo, only they are not located in the same way as in the cluster.

A bit of history: Subaru is a division of Fuji Heavy Industries (FHI), which is engaged in aircraft manufacturing. The head of the company, Kenji kita, was an ardent supporter of car manufacturing and was very passionate about it. He ran a competition to choose a name for the P-1 (the first prototype of a passenger car produced by the company in 1954), but none of the proposed options interested him. Then he gave him a name that he had for a long time in his heart - Subaru. This name, in Japanese, is consonant with the word Mitsuraboshi, which literally means six stars. Another interesting fact is that FHI was formed by the merger of exactly 6 companies.

Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota, Japan)

Officially, the Toyota emblem is a stylized weaving loop. There is also a misconception that the emblem is an image of a sewing needle through which a thread is threaded.

It's hard to grasp the connection between the world's largest auto company and loops without knowing its history. The fact is that Toyoda (Toyoda Automatic Loom Works - that was the name of the company earlier, it got its name from the name of the head Kiichiro Toyeda) began its activity as a company for the production of automatic looms.

Toyota Motor Corporation was founded as an independent company in 1937. As you can see, its name has been changed. There were three reasons for this, namely:

Convenience of pronunciation;
The word Toyota, written in Japanese alphabet, consists of 8 strokes (toyota characters). According to the heads of the company, this name turned out to be more apt, since it is believed that the number 8 brings good luck;
If you divide the word Toyota into toyo (abundance) and ta (rice), you get the expression "zoom-zoom", and in the east it symbolizes wealth. Some sources have another version of the translation of the word toyo - eastern ocean (to - east, yo - ocean).

Volkswagen (Wolfsburg, Germany)

It is not always easy to determine the make of a car by the badge on the hood. The thing is that at the moment there are a huge number of manufacturers, each of which has its own unique history, emblem and logo. Some of them began their journey with completely different products and only after a few years (and in some cases even decades) switched to the production of cars.

In the article you can find the emblems of the world's cars with names and familiarize yourself with their logos. The roots of logos go deep into history and have their own secrets and characteristics. Let's take a look at the main car brands with badges and names.

Chinese car brands with badges and names

BYD

The company produces quite interesting cars, focusing on the latest technology. A special direction of development is electric vehicles. Instances of BYD, which operate on electric traction, quite successfully compete with the best world representatives of this market niche.

Chery

This emblem stands out among the logos of Chinese cars. It consists of the first three letters of the full name of the corporation - Chery Automobile Corporation. In addition, the designers put another meaning in this logo - the letter A (first class cars) and the hands that support it.

Geely

The corporation was founded in 1986 and has several brands such as Geely Englon, Geely Emgrand, and Geely Gleagle. There were a lot of interpretations of this word, but the people who stood at the base put the meaning of "happiness" into it. The attribute of the emblem, which is located in the middle part, according to one of the opinions is a mountain, and the other is a spread wing of a flying bird.

Great wall

Often, Chinese car brands, emblems and names have a deeply disguised meaning. However, in the case of the Great Wall, everything is extremely simple - this phrase translates as "Great Wall". The company was founded relatively recently - in 2007 and puts at the head of patriotism and the use of the latest technologies in the auto industry. Despite its young age, the concern managed to establish itself as one of the best Chinese carmakers. The emblem contains a tooth - a component of the Great Wall of China.

Lifan

The emblems of Chinese cars are very different from each other. For example, the Lifan logo contains three sails. The literal translation of the name means "To sail in full sail." In addition to cars, the concern also produces many different equipment, such as buses, motorcycles, scooters and quads.

Japanese car brands with badges and names

Honda

The corporation got its name thanks to the surname of the founder (Soichiro Honda). The emblem is a capital letter with rounded corners. Stylish, original and recognizable.

Japanese car logos are varied. For example, the Infinity emblem symbolizes infinity. The original idea was to use the infinity sign, but later they abandoned it and decided to immortalize a road going into the distance on their logo.

Lexus

The Lexus logo stands out among the emblems of Japanese cars. It depicts the letter L, which is framed by a regular oval. This combination symbolizes luxury, the status of which does not need to be proven once again. Lexus is a better expression than Luxury. Lexus is a subsidiary of Toyota Corporation. Premium cars are produced under this brand - convertibles, SUVs, sedans and executive cars.

Mazda

This company has an M-shaped emblem that resembles a bird with spread wings. Quite often it is compared to a flower or an owl. The brand was named after the deity Ahura Mazda, who is the creator of the Sun and other stars. The concern is one of the world leaders and produces cars of various classes.

Mitsubishi

Among the emblems of Japanese cars, the emblem of the Mitsubishi company stands out in a special way. This manufacturer is part of the Mitsubishi Commercial Company, which produces both passenger cars and trucks. The literal translation of the name from Japanese is "three diamonds". It is they who are depicted on the Iwasaki coat of arms, which became the prototype of the company's emblem. Since the creation of the company, the logo has never changed.

Nissan

The logo of this Japanese brand represents the rising sun on which the brand name is written. The main motto of the company is “true success only brings sincerity”. The Nissan concern was formed as a result of the merger of several companies and is one of the oldest in Japan. Of particular note is the world's most popular electric vehicle, the Nissan Leaf.

Subaru

The emblem of the Japanese car manufacturer Subaru contains six stars, which are located in the constellation Pleiades. In Japan, it is sacred. This constellation can be seen from Earth with the naked eye. The first cars that left the Subaru factories were based on Renault models. If you translate the name from Japanese, you get the expression "put together."

Suzuki

The Suzuki logo is an uppercase S, shaped like a Japanese character. The concern got its name thanks to the surname of its founder - Michio Suzuki. After its foundation, the company produced motorcycles and looms for weavers, but already in 1973 the first car rolled off the assembly line. Within 20 years, Suzuki has become one of the world leaders in car manufacturing, selling about 2 million vehicles a year.

Toyota

The logo of the Japanese Toyota brand contains a needle eye through which a thread is threaded. It was created over a hundred years ago, when the company was engaged in the production of looms. In the 30s, there was a reorientation of production towards cars, but the logo was decided to remain the same. This emblem is fraught with deep meaning. The two ovals that intersect represent the union of the hearts of the driver and the vehicle, while the large ellipse that unites them shows wide perspectives and possibilities.

American car brands. List with icons

Acura

The center of the company logo looks a lot like a caliper. In addition, you can see the capital letter of the group's name in it. External rigor and simplicity shows the main principles of the company - accuracy and simplicity. At the time the company registered this logo, it had problems with very similar trademarks.

Cadillac

There are several versions of the history of the company's logo. According to one of them, Louis, having seen the drawing in the newspaper, decided to use it, slightly altering it.

The Tesla Rodster model has an AC motor, which began to be developed back in 1882 by Nikola.

Korean car brands with badges and names

The emblems are very varied. At the moment, there are a huge number of them in the world. They will identify the quality of the products of a certain manufacturer. Not every car enthusiast will identify the brand of the car by the badge alone.

The sign icon has. The process of formation of any of them took a very long time, because not every automobile enterprise immediately began to produce exactly vehicles. Therefore, badges, like cars, were constantly improved. Moreover, the roots of both are "buried" deep in the past century.

It should be noted that there are as many emblems in the world as there are car brands. All car brands in the world cannot be listed and counted. There is no exact answer to this question in any source. Some motorists have more than 2000 units, while others - about 1300. But this is unofficial information. Many brands are issued within the same country, so not all people are aware of their existence.

To date, no one will answer the question of how many car brands have been registered. Moreover, the most famous of them are more than 60 pieces.

In the article you will find answers to questions about how the car brand was formed and what its emblem means.

Famous vehicle badges - major automotive emblems in the world

We present to your attention a list of emblems:

Acura... The emblem resembles a caliper. The simplicity of the drawing is due to the fact that at the time the brand was created in the United States, it was rather difficult to register a new trademark. The official logo register contained many similar trademarks.
Alfa romeo... The logo consists of two borrowed parts: a red cross on a white background and a snake devouring a person. The first element has long been present on the coat of arms of the city of Milan. The second is an exact copy of the coat of arms of the Visconti dynasty.
Aston martin... The initial version of the logo was represented by the intertwining letters A and M. The wings identify the speed inherent in the produced cars. They appeared on the logo only in 1927, they were borrowed from. A year later, it was decided to give them a fashionable shape.
In 1947, the logo was supplemented with the name of the then owner - David Brown.
Audi... The four rings used for the logo symbolize the fusion. Each of the elements represents the companies merged in 1934 such as Audi Automobil-Werke AG, Horch Automobil-Werke GmbH, Dampf Kraft Wagen and Wanderer Werke AG.
Bentley... The main element, the winged capital letter B, is the personification of strength, speed and independence.
Thanks to the color scheme, three types of cars are distinguished. Thus, green is the hallmark of racing models, red for sophisticated vehicles, black for more powerful vehicles.
Bentley emblem - using black as an example
Bmw... The first appearance of the company logo dates back to 1917. It featured a propeller. Since 1920, the logo has not undergone any fundamental changes. It can only be noted that since 1963 a different font of the abbreviation has been used.
The main element of the logo is a black circle, the inner space of which consists of four sectors. The silvery white and sky blue colors in which they are painted are traditional for Bavaria.
Brilliance... Company presents . Considering the fact that the price is affordable for consumers, the high quality of the vehicles produced should be noted. Perhaps this was the reason to call them "diamonds".
The brand name speaks for itself, and the car logo, consisting of two hieroglyphs, is a written confirmation of this.
Bugatti... Connoisseurs of cars produced by the company know perfectly well why the emblem is made in the form of pearls. The logo contains the surname, as well as the initials of the founder - Ettore. Sixty points along the perimeter are nothing more than pearls.
Buick... The history of the logo is rich. The current version consists of three framed shields. Each of them symbolizes three models, as in the 1960 version of the emblem.
BYD... It didn't take long to create the logo. This is a kind of simplified version of the BMW logo. Color, shape, slightly distorted vision - and you're done.
Cadillac... The family coat of arms of the de La Motte family is used as an emblem. In 1901, an industrial city, Detroit, was formed on the territory of the then fort Ville d'Etroit.
Caterham... Caterham Car Sales was a Lotus dealer. In the early 70s. Graham Niern, who by that time headed the company, bought out the rights to manufacture Seven cars. After that, the sports car changed its name to Caterham Super Seven. If you look closely, you can see elements similar to the Lotus emblem. As for the magic number 7, it was present on the company's emblem for a long time, involuntarily recalling the model of the same name.
Since 2011, there has been some kind of structuring. This is confirmed by the version of the emblem presented in January 2014. It is clearly different from the usual Super Seven. Green remains the unchanged attribute, which now outlines the contours of the flag of Great Britain.
Chery... Chery Automobile Corporation places a logo on its cars that resembles the abbreviation of the company's name. Among other things, the emblem symbolizes the hands, which are characterized by strength and unity.
Chevrolet... Louis Joseph Chevrolet is a renowned racer and mechanic. His performance at the 1905 Vanderbild Cup attracted the attention of the General Motors owner. In 1911, Louis Joseph was asked to name the cars produced after him.
The bow tie emblem symbolizes the success of the famous racer.
It is believed that the emblem of the company has become nothing more than a drawing on the wallpaper, which William Derant, its owner, drew attention to while staying in one of the hotels in France. The second version, which was told by his wife, says that a similar logo attracted the spouse's attention at the moment of the next turning over the pages of the newspaper.
Chrysler... Walter Percy Chrysler, former vice president of GM, was born to a railway engineer. He dreamed of making his own cars, based on experience and striving for excellence. In 1924, his thoughts began to materialize through the reorganization process of two companies. Four years later, Dodge joined their list, and later Lamborghini with American Motors Corporation.
Since 2014, the company has been a semi-independent division of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, producing passenger cars and minivans.
The modern version of the emblem has similar features to the Aston Martin badge and symbolizes speed and speed.
Citroën... The emblem is a double chevron made up of V-shaped insignia. It was very often used in heraldry. In the case of the Citroën emblem, this is due to the beginning of André's career. And it began in the Esten brothers' workshops, which produced spare parts for steam locomotives. In 1905 he becomes their partner and organizes the production of cogwheels (gears). Gradually, the company became a manufacturer of auto parts, and then launched its own conveyor.
Dacia... This is what the territory of modern Romania was called. The ancient Romans called her Dacia, in honor of the Dacian tribe who lived here. The car plant is located in the city of Pitesti.
Given the connection with the tribe, whose totemic animals are wolf and dragon, it is not surprising that the original version of the emblem resembles the scales of a dragon. In addition, it is worth noting the scaly armor characteristic of their warriors.
In 2008, visitors to the Geneva Motor Show were the first to see the new Dacia emblem. A more detailed study of the logo resembles the letter "D", the full name is written on its straight horizontal line in dark blue letters. The silver color of the main element indicates the status of a Renault subsidiary.
Daewoo... The name of the company translates as "the great universe". Many sources say that a shell was chosen as the emblem. But the lily version is more believable. If we compare the emblem of the company with the well-known Fleur-de-lis, which is heraldic in nature, then they are very similar. This is not surprising, because fleur d’lys literally translates from French as “lily flower”. Among other things, this flower is considered to be a symbol of purity, greatness and innocence.
Daihatsu... Since 1907, Hatsudoki Seizo Co., Ltd, based at Osaka University, has been producing automobile engines for over 20 years.
In 1951, changes took place, during which a new enterprise was formed, which received the name Daihatsu. Dai and Hatsu (大 and 発) are somewhat of an acronym, as Osaka is written with the following kanji combination - 大阪, and "engine building" is 発動機製造.
As for the emblem, it is a stylized element reminiscent of the capital letter "D" and symbolizes compactness combined with convenience. No wonder the company's slogan is the statement: "We make it compact".
Dodge... The company was founded by the Dodge brothers in 1900. They were engaged in the production of auto parts. Then it was decided to produce cars. In 1928, the company became an integral part of the Chrysler Corporation.
Initially, the company emblem was a round medal. Two interconnected triangles, forming a six-pointed star, were located in the center. Inside it were capital letters D and B, and the phrase "Dodge Brothers Motor Vehicles" framed it on the outside.
The ram's head was first used in 1936. In the period 1954-1980. the element was not seen on the logo.
From 1994 to 2010, the bighorn head again became the main distinguishing element of the company logo. Given this circumstance, it is worth noting that this is due to the assertiveness and power inherent in these animals.
Now the emblem looks unpretentious: the name of the company is combined with two red oblique lines, symbolizing the sporting spirit.
FAW... On the Russian-language website of the company, the logo is described as an abbreviation for "China FAW Group Corporation" (abbreviation for First Automobile Works) in Chinese. Here we see an image symbolizing an eagle.
As conceived by the owners, the emblem symbolizes a corporation that spreads its wings and conquers space like an eagle.
Ferrari... The history of the appearance of the emblem is closely connected with Francesco Baraca, an air ace, on whose fighter everyone's favorite horse flaunted. Enzo Ferrari, like most Italians of that time, was a fan of the great pilot during the First World War.
When he saw this element for the first time, Enzo paid little attention to it. This happened a little later, when Ferrari was lucky enough to meet the pilot's parents.
Since July 9, 1932, a black horse flaunted on the company's cars.
The yellow background is the color of the city of Modena, and the three stripes at the top of the emblem are the national colors of Italy.
The initials SF are nothing more than an acronym for Scuderia, or Ferrari Stable, a racing team that was formed in 1929.
Another interesting fact is that a prancing stallion can be seen on the coat of arms of Stuttgart.
Fiat... The emblem of the Turin car factory, Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino, changed very often. But the most significant moment is considered to be 1901, when, instead of the full name of the plant, they began to use an abbreviation and a new form of edging. This is followed by a period when the shape of the emblem takes on either round or square outlines. The basis of the modern emblem is the motives of the previous ones, the period 1931-1968. The chrome edging, color, and features of the 1931 FIAT 524 are an idea of rethinking the old emblem. FIAT positions itself as a dynamically developing company, remembering and proud of its past.
Ford... The emblem is extremely simple - the name of the company in an oval edging. This solution has become a symbol of practicality, moreover, it is easily recognizable.
FSO... Polish Fabryka Samochodow Osobowych (FSO), which in translation is the Passenger Car Factory. Founded in 1951.
Starting in 2010, the company launched its own production of cars under the FSO Lanos brand, since at that time the plant belonged to Daewoo.
As for the emblem, it is a combination of FSO silhouettes: the letter f, supposedly consisting of a capital S in the center of the neat outline of the letter O. Red represents passion, quality and trust.
Geely... Geely Group Co., Ltd was founded in 1986.
The original version of the emblem is associated with a white wing of a bird or a high mountain - the blue background resembles the sky. This is how Mr. Shufu understands the word Geely translated as "happiness".
Company brands: Geely Emgrand, Geely Gleagle (Global Eagle), Geely Englon.
GMC... General Motors Corporation was born in 1916. It all started with a truck, which was created by the Grabowski brothers. It was powered by a horizontal single cylinder engine.
The production of cars was carried out under the Rapid Motor Vehicle brand since 1902. Later, William Durand joined the brothers, and in 1908 General Motors was formed, uniting all of Michigan's small automakers together.
The emblem is simple and at the same time bold due to the color scheme: red letters framed with silver.
Great wall... Another representative of the Chinese auto industry is the Great Wall, or "Great Wall". The company name and logo are nothing more than the embodiment of a sense of patriotism. The emblem is a stylized battlement of the Great Wall of China.
This logo has been used since 2007, when a new production was launched. The updated emblem embodies the high-tech production, style and grace of the produced passenger cars.
Hafei and Haima... Hafei, or Harbin HF Automobile Industry Group Company Ltd., was founded in 1994 and became part of the National Aircraft Industry Corporation of China.
The Daewoo Tico model became the pioneer of the company's conveyor.
The waves depicted on the shield-shaped emblem of the company represent the bed of the Songhua River, next to which the city of Harbin is located. This is where the history of Hafei begins. Haima has been operating since 1988. In 1992, she was entrusted with the work of assembling licensed Japanese models.
The name of the company arose from the merger of two names: HAInan and MAzda. The first of them is Hainan Island, where one of the factories is located. And the second, you guessed it, is the eponymous brand with which the company has been cooperating for a long time.
The emblem outwardly resembles the symbol of cars produced by Mazda. Considering the purpose of the cars, it is not surprising that the silhouette of the company became a silhouette reminiscent of the image of Ahura Mazda ("Lord of Wisdom"), personifying truth, life and light. He was considered an omniscient and omnipotent God of goodness.
Honda... The founder of the company is Soichiro. The emblem is a stylized capital letter H. Simple and tasteful.
Hummer... The brand name originated from HMMWV M998 (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle Model 998), a program to create high-capacity vehicles launched in 1979.
The last car rolled off the assembly line back in 2010.
Hyundai... Motor Company is the representative of South Korea. The company was founded in 1967.
The name itself can be translated as "modernity", "new time". Pronounced "Handi" by analogy with the English sunday - "sunday".
The emblem, a stylized capital letter H, represents two people shaking hands. This is how they see friendship with clients and mutually beneficial cooperation with partners.

The video shows interesting facts about car emblems:

Many car enthusiasts are interested in information about the car icons of the world. This article provides data on many vehicle emblems, as well as characteristics of the most popular ones today.

Every day, thousands of cars pass by us, each of which bears on its radiator grill the family mark - the emblem of the car. But have you ever wondered why the creators of car companies chose this particular combination of letters, numbers and symbols? If not, then it's time to learn more about it. And in order not to offend anyone, let's start with the car company, which comes first in alphabetical order.

Major automotive emblems of the world

Acura

The Japanese company Acura by automotive standards was formed quite recently, therefore the emblem of the brand does not have any ancient history. The brand logo is stylized under the letter "A" and its appearance resembles a caliper. Styling for this device was chosen for a reason. A caliper is used for the most accurate measurements, which should be emphasized by the technical Acura.

Alfa romeo

But the emblem of the Italian company Alfa Romeo has a much more ancient and entertaining history. One part of the car's emblem is a red cross on a white background. It is this element that has long been depicted on the coat of arms of the city of Milan, from where it was borrowed by the artist Romano Cattaneo, who at one time received an order to develop the logo of the Milan automobile company A.L.F.A. The second part of the emblem, representing a snake devouring a person, is an exact copy of the coat of arms of the Visconti dynasty. Over time, the Alfa Romeo emblem has changed slightly, but these two elements have remained unchanged at all times.

Aston martin

The eagle wings, which are the emblem of the British company Aston Martin, were chosen as the symbol of the brand in 1927. The founders of Aston Martin originally expected to produce, so the stylized wings of one of the fastest birds on our planet came in handy.

Aston Martin emblem

Audi

The famous rings of the German company Audi were presented to the world in 1932. The four rings marked a close relationship between the companies Audi, Horch, DKV and Wanderer, which were united in the Auto Union automobile union. After the end of the war, almost all the companies that were part of the union ceased to exist, but they still did not forget about the four intertwined rings. They became the emblem of cars produced by Audi, which was revived in 1965.

The famous Audi emblem

Bentley

The winged symbol is not unique to Aston Martin. The fenders encircling the large B can also be seen on the emblems of the cars of the British luxury limousine manufacturer Bentley. As conceived by the creators, this car emblem was supposed to emphasize the speed, power and independence of Bentley cars.

Bmw

The emblem of the BMW company, which is a circle divided into four equal sectors, has an aviation past, since the history of the creation of the BMW concern is directly related to the production of aircraft and aircraft engines. The logo of the German company resembles the rotating propeller blades of an airplane, and the corporate blue and white colors are chosen in honor of the Bavarian flag, which is dominated by these colors.

BYD

But the same colors on the emblem of the Chinese company BYD have nothing to do with automotive history. In fact, the Chinese simply copied the BMW logo, but divided it not into four, but only into two equal parts. So, when creating car emblems, one cannot do without plagiarism.

Bugatti

The founders of the French company Bugatti chose a pearl-shaped oval for the emblem of their company, which is framed by sixty small pearls around the perimeter. Inside the oval are the initials of Ettore Bugatti, who founded the famous French company, and the word Bugatti.

Buick

Initially, the emblem of the American company Buick also had only the name of the company itself. But in 1930, the logo underwent significant changes and at the moment it consists of three shields, borrowed from the family coat of arms of the Scottish automaker David Dunbar Buick.

Cadillac

The emblem of the Cadillac company is also stylized under the coat of arms. In this case, the Americans paid tribute to the merits of the Frenchman Antoine da la Mot Cadilac, who founded Detroit in 1701, which is now rightfully considered the capital of the American automotive industry.

Chevrolet

But the history of the creation of the Chevrolet logo is much more prosaic. According to one version, a similar cross on the wallpaper in a hotel room was seen by William Durant, who founded an American company named after the automotive engineer Louis Chevrolet. According to another version, the butterfly cross was drawn by Durant at lunch. One way or another, but this famous car emblem has been used for decades and has become recognizable all over the world.

Chery

The Chery car emblem is not yet so recognizable, but it looks no less interesting. Two letters "C" on both sides surround the letter "A", which, in fact, is an abbreviation of the full name of the company - Chery Automobile Corporation. But there is also a different opinion about the origin of the logo of the Chinese company. If you look closely, you can see that the Chery emblem is very reminiscent of the emblem of the Japanese company Infiniti, which, according to the creators, should be associated with the road that goes to infinity. So it is possible that in this case, the Chinese simply borrowed a good idea.

Chrysler

The emblem of the American company Chrysler was originally a five-pointed star inscribed in a pentagon. This logo had to reflect precision and craftsmanship. But then the management of the company thought that the famous pentagon was outdated and did not reveal the ideology of the brand. Now, instead of it, the winged emblem has appeared on Chrysler cars, and dynamism and modernity have replaced precision and craftsmanship.

Citroen

The famous "herringbone" from the French company Citroen is actually a schematic representation of the teeth of a chevron wheel. It was with their release that the founder of the French company Andre Citroen began his ascent to the heights of the automotive industry.

Daewoo

The Korean company Daewoo cannot boast of such a rich history, therefore its emblem is banally stylized as a seashell.

Dacia

It was even easier for the Romanian company Dacia. They simply wrote the name of the company on the shield-shaped blue car emblem. And soon even the stylized shield was gone. Only a small silvery emblem remained, on which the name of the company was ingeniously applied.

And this, by the way, is far from the only case when automobile companies prefer the most ordinary inscription to emblems and intricate symbols. This is what the founders of the FIAT companies did.

Fiat

and Ford. Over the long period of existence of these car brands, the font used to write the names of the companies and the background of the emblems have changed many times, but the essence of the logos has remained unchanged.

Ford

Hummer

The Hummer emblem is also nothing unusual. It's just a name, which is quite justified for an army SUV.

Honda

And the creator of the Honda company, Soichiro Honda, limited himself to the capital letter of the company name, which was reflected in the emblem, which has been flaunting on Honda cars for many years.

Lexus

Lexus did the same. They just put the letter "L" in the oval. And the buyers liked this solution quite well. The young brand quickly became recognizable in almost all regions of our planet.

Seat

There are also European companies whose logos are made in a similar style. The Spanish Seat emblem, for example, is a stylized "S". Only occasionally do Spaniards change the background, which depicts the capital letter of Seat's name, or its font.

Suzuki

And they are not afraid of confusion with the logo of the Japanese company Suzuki. It also depicts the letter "S", which is the capital letter of the surname of the founder of the Japanese company Michio Suzuki. It is possible that confusion does not arise for the reason that the letter in the logo of a Japanese company, as the Japanese themselves believe, is very similar to the kanji character.

Hyundai

The letter "H" written in italics is also on the emblem of the Korean company Hyundai. But the Koreans themselves assure that this is not only the first letter in the name of the company, but also a kind of symbol of people holding hands, which should emphasize the desire of the Korean company for mutually beneficial cooperation with its partners.

Daihatsu

Compactness and convenience - these qualities are emphasized by the emblem of Daihatsu cars.

Denza

But a drop of water, carefully supported with two hands, is designed to evoke associations with purity and lightness.
This is the logo chosen by the Chinese company Denza.

Geely

And the Chinese from Geely assume that buyers will associate their logo with aristocracy and practicality.

Great wall

What did the creators of the Chinese Great Wall want to say with their emblem? Their idea was to show that sooner or later, not the largest Chinese company will become a real automobile wall - huge and indestructible.

Dodge

The creators of the American company Dodge went even further, choosing the emblem with the image of the twisted horns of a mountain ram to designate their cars. Assertive as a ram - at all times, Dodge cars were one hundred percent consistent with this slogan.

GAS

The animal theme is reflected in the emblems of domestic manufacturers. The famous deer depicted on the GAZ logo was taken from the coat of arms of Nizhny Novgorod.

Gaziks emblem

UAZ

And since we are talking about domestic cars, we cannot fail to mention the UAZ SUVs, which bear the emblem in the form of a stylized Volga seagull on their radiator grill, and AvtoVAZ products, which for a long time carried the image of a boat denoting a connection with the Volga River, on the banks of which the Volga plant was erected.

And this is UAZIK

Ferrari
The image of a rearing stallion was originally adorned on the fuselage of the aircraft of the famous pilot Francesco Baracca, who later presented this symbol to the founder of the legendary Ferrari company, Enzo Ferrari. Since then, the golden background and national colors of Italy have appeared on the emblem of Ferrari cars, but the famous prancing stallion has remained unchanged.

Porsche

The reared horse can also be seen on the emblem of Porsche cars. The image of a graceful animal was chosen by the Germans for the simple reason that it is the horse that is considered the symbol of the city of Stuttgart, which is the birthplace of the famous German cars. And the black and red stripes framing the black stallion are taken from the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Württemberg, of which Stuttgart is the capital.

Isuzu

With the Isuzu logo, everything is much simpler. It represents a stylized letter "I", but the Japanese themselves put a deep meaning into this seemingly simple designation. In their opinion, the emblem and its color should symbolize the openness to the world and the warmth of the hearts of the company's employees.

Jaguar

Well, with what the wild cat symbolizes, which is the emblem of the Jaguar company, everything is clear and so. Power, grace and beauty - all these qualities are characteristic not only of real jaguars, but also of cars of the famous British brand. Meanwhile, a graceful cat has not always been a symbol of Jaguar. Believe it or not, the British company used to be called the Swallow Sidecar. Taking into account the fact that in translation from English the word "swallow" means "swallow", it is not difficult to guess that it was she who was originally the symbol of luxury British cars. Why did the name change? During the Second World War, most Europeans began to associate the SS abbreviation not with the name of an automobile company, but with the troops of Nazi Germany. This led to the change of the historical name to a more euphonic one, which has survived to our times.

Jeep

At first, Jeep cars did not have any logo at all. An army SUV simply didn't need it. And only then they began to install something on the Jeep that could be mistaken for a corporate emblem. At the moment, it shows two circles and seven vertical rectangles that unambiguously resemble the front of an American car.

KIA

The emblem of KIA cars is an oval in which the name of the company itself is inscribed. This shape of the logo, symbolizing the globe, speaks of the desire of the Korean company to become one of the leaders in the global automotive industry. This aspiration is supported by the red color of the emblem, which is associated with the warmth of the sun and constant forward movement.

Lamborghini

The Italian company Lamborghini has a completely different task - to produce small-scale and fabulously expensive supercars. And the bull that flaunts on the Lamborghini logo, just in time, emphasizes the strength and power of the cars from the Italian company. And to the tractors, with the production of which the founder of the Italian company Ferucho Lamborghini began, the hardy animal suited the best way.

Lancia

The four-spoke steering wheel, on the background of which is depicted a blue flag with the name of the company, is already the emblem of the Italian Lancia. But it should be noted that over the years of its existence, the corporate emblem has changed significantly. The corporate blue background remains, but most of the elements from the logo have practically disappeared.

Land rover

The Land Rover emblem looks even simpler. According to one version, the oval shape of the logo appeared thanks to the imprint from a can of canned food. It was in this oval that the name of the company was inscribed. And small "birds" on the corporate emblem arose due to the fact that earlier the words in the name of the British company shared a symbol in the shape of the letter "Z". And even if the Land Rover emblem does not pretend to be particularly sophisticated, this does not prevent it from being recognizable even in the most remote corners of our planet.

LAZ

Ukrainian LAZ is less famous, so its emblem in the form of the letter "L" was seen mainly by residents of the post-Soviet space. The corporate logo of the Ukrainian company, which is remarkable, is very similar to the logo of the Japanese Acura. But in this case, it is hardly worth talking about some kind of borrowing. Painfully different products are produced by these companies.

Lifan

The logo of the Chinese company Lifan is also not so common so far. It shows three sails. Why exactly are they? Everything is very simple. To sail in full sail - this is how the name of the Chinese company is translated into Russian.

Lincoln

The Lincoln emblem is a stylized compass that points to all directions. Earlier, when American cars were in demand around the world, such an emblem was quite appropriate. But now Lincoln is losing ground even in its native American market.

Lotus

On the emblems of Lotus cars, we can see a bright yellow circle that looks like the sun, and a triangle in British Racing Green, inscribed in the circle. The name of the company and the letters A C B C are inscribed in the triangle itself, which are nothing more than the initials of the creator of the British company Anthony Colin Bruce Chapman.

Maserati

The famous Maserati trident is also depicted on the emblem of the city of Bologna. It was there that the production of these wonderful cars was started.

Maybach

Another luxury car maker, Maybach, chose two different-sized “M” letters for its logo, which were an abbreviation for Maybach Motorenbau during the formative years of the brand, and are now reborn as an abbreviation for the phrase Maybach Manufaktur.

Mercedes benz

But the history of the creation of the corporate emblem of the Mercedes Benz company is much more romantic. Gottlieb Daimler, one of the founders of the German company, drew the famous star on one of the greeting cards as a child. Even then, a talented child dreamed that the same star, which is a symbol of prosperity, would flaunt over the roof of his car factory. Many years later, it happened. But there is another opinion. Many automotive experts believe that the three-pointed star represents the three people who gave birth to the Mercedes company. These are Wilhelm Maybach, Emil Jellinek and Mercedes Jellinek.

Mazda

And there is no consensus about the history of the Mazda logo. Someone thinks that the Japanese have borrowed the image of the letter "M" from the coat of arms of the city of Hiroshima, while others are sure that the logo is a stylized tulip flower, which is the embodiment of softness and flexibility.

Mercury

The stylized M can also be seen on the Mercury emblem. But in fact, the corporate logo of an American company acquired its modern look relatively recently. Initially, the Mercury logo depicted the head of the ancient Roman god Mercury, which is a symbol of speed and eloquence.

British MG and Mini did not philosophize for a long time when developing a corporate logo. The founders of MG inscribed their company name in a regular octagon.

Mini

The creators of Mini placed the name in the center of the circle, which is framed on both sides by stylized wings.

Mitsubishi

The emblem of Japanese cars Mitsubishi is the result of the merger of the family crests of two ancient Japanese families. Three diamonds from the Iwasaki genus and three oak leaves from the Tosa genus are currently perceived as three diamonds, since this is how the name of the Japanese company is translated.

Nissan

The name of the Japanese company is currently ingeniously written on the Nissan logo, but initially it was a red circle, which symbolized the rising sun, and a blue rectangle crossing it with the company's name inscribed in it, which personified the sky.

Opel

The Opel brand name, a circle with a stylized zipper, was chosen by Adam Opel as a tribute to the Blitz truck, which has been in production for over thirty years. It was his successful sales that became the key to the sustainable development of Opel, which at first specialized in the production of bicycles and sewing machines and only then began to produce the cars we are accustomed to.

Peugeot

The Peugeot company also started with the production of bicycles. The lion that adorns the emblem of the French company was borrowed by the famous jeweler Justin Blaser from the flag of the province, where the small Peugeot manufactory was originally located. Over the years of its existence, the lion's emblem has changed several times - the lion reared up, opened its mouth, turned in the other direction. At one time, only a lion's head was depicted on the emblem.

This is how the modern Peugeot emblem was born

Pontiac

The Pontiac logo has changed much less during its existence. Initially, the emblem depicted an Indian wearing a characteristic headdress, but in the fifties of the last century, the Pontiac brand name underwent a major change and began to resemble a red-painted arrow.

Proton

Once during its existence, the brand name of the Proton company has also changed. And if now the company's logo is decorated with a stylized tiger's head and the inscription "Proton", then at the dawn of its formation, Malaysian cars could be identified by a crescent moon and a star with fourteen ends on the emblem.

Renault

The familiar rhombus, reminiscent of a diamond and flaunting on Renault cars, seems to have not changed at all over time, but in fact it is not. In the distant 1900, the initials of the three Renault brothers were depicted on the emblem of French cars, and in 1906 the letters in the logo were replaced with the image of a tank. Yes, yes, at that time the priority for the French company was not cars, but tanks.

Roewe

The Roewe brand, which was formed by the Chinese in 2006, simply does not have a long history of its own, so it's too early to talk about the metamorphoses taking place with its emblem. At the moment, the Roewe brand emblem depicts two lions against the background of a red and black shield. This image was not chosen by chance. The Chinese Roewe is very consonant with the German Loewe (lion), which allowed the Chinese to depict a pair of stately animals on the emblem.

Rolls royce

And the British Rolls Royce has two emblems. One of them is two overlapping letters "R", framed by a rectangular frame. Until the thirties of the last century, this sign was red, after which the usual black and white gamut replaced the bright color. The second emblem is no less famous. The Flying Lady, a figurine of a woman with her arms thrown back, was developed back in 1911 and has not undergone any changes since then. Only the material from which the figurine was made was changed. At first "Flying Lady" was made of babbitt, and then bronze and chrome-plated steel came to replace it.

Rover

The brand name of the British company Rover depicts a Viking boat. But the emblem did not always exist in this form. The rook replaced the spear and battle ax, which are also closely related to the history of the Vikings.

Saab

The history of the Swedish company Saab is closely related to aircraft construction. But if the BMW company, which at one time was also involved in the creation of winged cars, emphasized this connection in its logo, then the Swedes depicted a mythical griffin on the emblem of their cars. Although in this case it would be more correct to say that Saab did not have much to choose.

Scania

It received this emblem after a merger with Scania, which has used the image of a lion with eagle wings for over a hundred years. And in this case, it is not difficult to guess that the mythical griffin is depicted not only on Saab cars and Scania trucks, but also on the heraldic sign of the province of Scania.

Skoda

But the history of the appearance of the modern Skoda emblem is still not clear. The winged arrow, reminiscent of the head of an Indian with three feathers, appeared in 1926, but its meaning has not yet been figured out. But with the designation of products that were produced in Mlada Boleslav before that time, everything is much simpler. Initially, the logos of the Czech company adorned with the patriotic word "Slavia", which was later replaced by the L&K symbol, formed from the then name of the company Laurin & Klement Co.

Volvo

The arrow emerging from the circle is depicted in the Volvo logo. But in this case, the history of the emergence of the car emblem is very clear. This symbol has been known since the days of the Roman Empire. In those days, he was considered a symbol of the god of war, Mars. Much later, the same symbol began to denote the chemical element iron, which predetermined its appearance on Volvo cars. Swedish steel in those days was associated with the highest quality. Swedish cars were to be associated with the same quality and inflexibility.

Smart

The Smart corporate logo is very similar to the Volvo logo. But in fact, there is nothing in common between them. The circle in the Smart logo is just a stylized first letter of the word “compact,” and the arrow is intended to highlight the company's innovative thinking and high technology. So in this case, there is no need to talk about any historical roots. Pure marketing. It also takes place when creating car emblems.

Subaru

Six stars in the constellation Taurus, which we can see with the naked eye, have become the symbol of the Japanese company Subaru. The Subaru emblem has 6 stars from the star cluster in the constellation Taurus. We call this cluster of stars the Pleiades, in Japan Subaru. And this is one of the rare cases when a car brand is named not after the creator or the region where the production was founded, but implies a specific meaning.

Toyota

Even more surprising is the fact that Toyota did not have its own logo at all until the eighties of the last century. The name of the company was simply written on the radiator grille, which in no way contributed to the development of a unified corporate style. And only in the late eighties, motorists saw the already familiar brand name, consisting of a large outer oval and two intertwined inner ovals of a smaller size. The large oval symbolizes the possibilities for making wishes come true, and the intertwined ovals that form the letter "T" are designed to emphasize the unity of the buyer and seller.

Volkswagen

The monogrammed letters "V" and "W" became the emblem of the Volkswagen company. And in this case, an interesting fact is that during the days of Nazi Germany, the Volkswagen emblem was stylized as a swastika. After Germany's defeat in the war, which is quite natural, it was decided to abandon all associations with the fascist symbol, and a little later the usual blue background replaced the black background of the emblem.

But these are far from all the emblems of the cars of the world. Dozens of car brands, each of which has its own glorious history, have already ceased to exist. And each of them is the owner of its own unique logo, which is designed to emphasize the features and philosophy of the brand. And we still don't know about how many car brands, most often Chinese ones. These companies are just beginning their ascent to the automobile Olympus and they cannot do without a bright, memorable emblem. So everything is just beginning. Emblems of cars from all over the world will appear, disappear, change, but they certainly will not disappear from our lives.

Undoubtedly, every motorist wondered what they are - the most expensive cars in the world. Someone imagined it as a powerful, "licked" from all sides, a sports car, someone - a huge super-comfortable executive class car with a powerful engine. By the way, both are right.
