1886, Daimler and Carl Benz invented their own cars at the same time. Ben Ci designed a logo for his car-a noble laurel branch surrounded by a round logo with the word "Mercedes-Benz". When Daimler founded the company a few years later, he adopted the three-pointed star logo that he loved in his early years.
1899 In March, Emile Jelinek (then Austrian Consul General in Hungary) drove a Demex car named after his youngest daughter Mercedes (meaning happiness) and won the first prize in the French "Nice Tour" automobile competition. He suggested that all cars produced by DEMS should be named after "Mercedes", and Daimler readily agreed. After several changes, "Mercedes-Benz" and the three-pointed star combined to form a new trademark: four small stars in the circle surround 1 big star, and the word "Mercedes-Benz" is marked below.
1926, Mercedes-Benz and Daimler merged, and the cars produced after the merger were called "Mercedes-Benz". Their respective trademarks were also merged and redesigned into new logos: the laurel branches of Mercedes-Benz surrounded the trident, with the words "Mercedes-Benz" below and the words "Mercedes-Benz" above. This is a great combination. After two revisions, the logo of Mercedes was finally simplified to the three-pointed star in the shape of the steering wheel we see today.
Since 1909 was first put on the radiator cover, the cold-shining trident has been the most striking symbol of Mercedes-Benz in recent 100 years, and its three points represent the modernization of the trinity of land, sea and air. Under the illumination of this auspicious star, Mercedes-Benz, which has changed the times, will always be at the forefront of the times.
