Mercedes-Benz, a German car brand and the inventor of the automobile, is considered one of the most successful high-end car brands in the world.

The Mercedes-Benz Trident Star has become one of the most famous automotive and brand icons in the world.

In October 2016, Mercedes-Benz ranked 9th among the 100 most valuable brands in the world in 2016.

Daimler applied for a patent for the trident star logo in 1909, but Mercedes-Benz used a circular badge. The Daimler logo comes from a letter Daimler wrote to his wife. He thought the stars he painted on his family's house would bring him good luck. The trident star also symbolizes the development space of Mercedes-Benz in the three directions of land and sea.

In 1909, in order to commemorate the mass production of his VELO, Mr. Daimler changed the gear pattern in the trident star to a laurel branch to show victory, and the "Mercedes" in the logo was named after his Named after the beautiful daughter of Austrian car dealer Emil Jellinek. "Mercedes" means lucky in Spanish. Unfortunately, this beauty died in an unhappy marriage at the age of forty, but the practice of naming her has spread like wildfire. The Mercedes-Benz logo originally consisted of Mercedes-Benz and wheat ears.

In 1926, Daimler merged with Mercedes-Benz, and the star logo was eventually merged with Mercedes-Benz's ears, with the word "Benz" below. Later, the ears were changed to a round shape and the word "Benz" was removed. With the merger of the two oldest automobile manufacturers, the manufacturer once again applied for patent rights for the trademark. The circle star logo evolved into today's pattern, which is still in use today and has become one of the top ten famous trademarks in the world. one.
