Everyone is familiar with Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz can be said to be one of the most successful car brands, and many people also know the full name of Mercedes-Benz cars. Some people call it Mercedes-Benz, and some call it Mercedes-Benz. People are called Daimler Benz, so what is the difference between the different names in front of Benz?

What does it mean? The story begins with Gottlief Daimler and Karl Benz, two outstanding industrialists in the 19th century. The two industrialists completed their achievements in engines and each manufactured their own cars.

They were called Daimler and Mercedes-Benz respectively. The Daimler trademark at that time was based on the initials "DMG" of "Diamler-Motoren-Gesellschaft".

For Mercedes-Benz, the outer ring was made of gears and the BENZ letters were the main body. Later, it was changed to a bay leaf as the outer ring and the main body of BENZ remained unchanged.

Then businessman Emil Jelinek, under the influence and communication of Daimler cars, started to become famous for a Daimler car named after his daughter Mercedes, and then in cooperation After communicating with Mercedes-Benz, Daimler agreed to name Daimler cars after Mercedes.

This began the era of "Mercedes". After naming it after Mercedes, Daimler decided to change its logo. The logo that appeared was the prototype of the three-pointed star logo we see now, symbolizing Daimler's comprehensive ambitions on sea, land and air.

After a short period of time, Daimler and Karl Benz's companies merged, which became Daimler-Benz, and the cars they produced were "Mercedes-Benz" cars. The Mercedes-Benz logo is the Mercedes-Benz logo with a circle and a three-pointed star that we can see now.

So for now, Mercedes-Benz and Daimler-Benz are actually the same thing, and Daimler-Benz may prefer to refer to Daimler when talking about the company- Mercedes-Benz Car Company, and Mercedes-Benz is more talking about cars.
