Cars have now replaced bicycles and become one of the three must-buy items for modern families. Many friends will spend some time to understand and study cars after work, but many people will not fully understand the automobile industry either because they like it or just to buy a car, including all kinds of unpopular knowledge about cars, such as the meaning of car logos. Many people even made a lot of mistakes. Today, I will share with you the car logos of several popular brands.
The first one: Volkswagen logo
As the best-selling car in China, the sales volume of Volkswagen has exceeded 4 million for two consecutive years, and there are tens of millions of cars in China. But do you know the meaning of its logo? The middle part of the Volkswagen logo is composed of v and w, which is volks in German? wagen? The abbreviation of werk is translated as the car used by Volkswagen, which is also the founding mission of Volkswagen. At that time, Hitler hoped to make a car that everyone could afford, so Ferdinand Porsche founded the Volkswagen brand, and the first model was the famous Beetle.
Second: BMW logo
Many people interpret BMW logo as a blue sky and white clouds propeller, which is actually summed up from its historical development, but in fact it is completely wrong. Is BMW Bayerische? Motoren? The abbreviation of Werke, translated into Chinese, is the Bavarian engine factory. Is it very popular and direct, which is quite different from the name of "BMW" in China? The design of the picture part of the BMW logo comes from the state emblem of Bavaria and has nothing to do with the blue sky and white clouds propeller, and the BMW logo is also the most misunderstood one.
Third: Mercedes-Benz logo
The logo of Mercedes-Benz is nicknamed "thong" in China, which is really very similar, but in fact, the three-pointed star logo of Mercedes-Benz has a unique meaning, representing the sea, the sky and the land respectively, and this is not a good wish, but the company's business has really involved in the manufacture of cars, ships and planes since its establishment.
Fourth: Audi logo
When people talk about Audi now, they sometimes use four circles to describe it. Every time I hear it, my first reaction is ice cream, but the logo of Audi is easy to understand, and each circle represents a once independent company. Many friends may not know that Audi is actually composed of four companies, namely Audi Automobile Company, Horsey Automobile Company, Miracle Automobile Company and Rover Automobile Company, and these companies also produced sewing machines, bicycles and other products at the earliest time.
Fifth: TOYOTA logo
Another name for Toyota in China is twist-head, because the logo is really similar to a bull's head, and its meaning and design are actually far more complicated than it looks. If you look carefully, you will find that the Toyota logo is composed of three ellipses, the outer circle represents the earth, and the two ellipses in the middle form an abstract English letter T, which is also the initials of Toyota, and all of them move the earth out.
Sixth: Cadillac logo
Cadillac logo is also complicated in design and has a profound meaning. There are seven dots on the crown logo used in the early days. Of course, you can also interpret it as gems and pearls, which represents Cadillac's royal aristocratic lineage. It just makes Brother Spicy wonder when there was a royal family in American history except the chief. Later, it was changed to a shield logo, and its meaning was even more complicated. Silver represents purity, kindness, yellow represents abundance, blue represents chivalry, and red represents courage. Basically, some good hopes and virtues of human beings can be found.
Seventh: Geely logo
Then, let's talk about Geely logo, because compared with other popular domestic cars, its meaning is really deeper. First, it is the overall design idea, which actually comes from abdominal muscles. You are not mistaken. Those six small pieces are six abdominal muscles, which represent nature and strength. The blue square represents the sky, and the black square represents the earth, and the golden silk thread around it. There is no other meaning. If you want to understand it superficially, it means that Geely has the power to break through the sky and gallop the earth. Of course, if you want to understand it as having the power of the sky and the earth, I personally think there is nothing wrong with it.
Eighth: Volvo logo
Although there are clear Volvo letters on the Volvo logo, countless people are really stumped in this circle outside. So far, I haven't met anyone who can explain it clearly, even Volvo's own sales consultants don't know. In fact, this circle with an arrow represents the shield of Mars mythology, the ancient Roman god of war, and it is also the chemical symbol of ancient iron. Compared with other car logos, Volvo's car logo is actually a very old trademark in western countries, which can be traced back to the ancient Roman Empire and has three meanings: Mars, God of war and masculinity.
Today, I'll tell you about these eight car logos, including Lexus, which are also hot brands in China. If you want to know the meaning of other car logos, you can leave a message in the comment area, so I won't go into details here. Finally, thank you for reading!
