I own a Toyota Camry and never gave much thought to what the logo meant.

From far it looked

like a T to me, which stood for Toyota. While doing the research for this logo, I found out that it
is actually three elipses depicting the heart of the customer, the heart of the product, and the ever-
expanding technological advancements and boundless opportunities that lie ahead.

One website even described it as a cowboy with a big hat. :-)

The current Toyota Mark consists of three ovals: the two perpendicular center ovals represent a
relationship of mutual trust between the customer and Toyota. These ovals combine to symbolize
the letter "T" for Toyota. The space in the background implies a global expansion of Toyota's
technology and unlimited potential for the future.

About mc donalds

McDonald's Corporation is the world's largest chain of fast-food restaurants . Although

McDonald's did not invent the hamburger or fast food, its name has become nearly synonymous
with both.

The McDonald's Golden Arches logo was introduced in 1962. It was created by Jim Schindler to
resemble new arch shaped signs on the sides of the restaurants. He merged the two golden arches
together to form the famous 'M' now recognized throughout the world. Schindler's work was a
development of the stylized 'v' logo sketched by Fred Turner, which was conceived as a more
stylish corporate symbol than the Speedee chef character that had previously been used. The
McDonald's name was added to the logo in 1968.

MERCEDES

The Mercedes-Benz logo is one of the most famous brands in the wor;d. The Benz logo is a
simplistic three-pointed star that represents its domination of the land, the sea, and the air. The
famous three-pointed star was designed by Gottlieb Daimler to show the ability of his motors for
land, air and sea-usage. It was first seen on a Daimler in 1909, and was combined with the Benz
laurel wreath in 1926 to signify the union of the two firms. Mercedes-Benz is the world's oldest
automobile manufacturer.

When the patented name "Mercedes" was registered in September 1902 Daimler Motoren
Gesellschaft had a successful brand name but still lacked a characteristic trademark. Then Paul
and Adolf Daimler - the company founder’s two sons, and now in charge of the business -
remembered that their father had once used a star as a symbol.

The image below shows the evolution of the star over the years

Coco cola

Coca-Cola is one of the most recognized brands and logos in the world. Coca-Cola is the most
popular and biggest-selling soft drink in history, as well as the best-known product in the world.
Created in Atlanta, Georgia by Dr. John S. Pemberton, Coca-Cola was first offered as a fountain
beverage by mixing Coca-Cola syrup with carbonated water.
The Coca-Cola script was designed by an amateur, Frank Robinson, the fledgling company's
bookkeeper. He devised both the Spencerian script and the brilliantly concise words beneath:
"Delicious and Refreshing." The bottle is among the most recognizable icons in the world, a
design that has come to symbolize the youthful exuberance of America. Countless variations have
been released over the decades, but the enduring classic is the curved vessel designed by the Root
Glass Company of Terre Haute, Indiana, and introduced in 1915. A Coca-Cola dispenser was later
designed by Raymond Loewy. Coca-Cola was registered as a trademark in 1887 and by 1895
Coca-Cola was being sold in every state and territory in the United States. In 1899, the company
began franchised bottling operations in the United States.

 MICRO SOFT

Microsoft Corporation is an American multinational computer technology corporation with

79,000 employees in 102 countries and global annual revenue of US $51.12 billion as of 2007. It
develops, manufactures, licenses and supports a wide range of software products for computing
devices. Headquartered in Redmond, Washington, USA, its best selling products are the
Microsoft Windows operating system and the Microsoft Office suite of productivity software.

In 1987, Microsoft adopted its current logo, the so-called "Pacman Logo". The logo was
designed by Scott Baker. According to the March 1987 Computer Reseller News Magazine,
"The new logo, in Helvetica italic typeface, has a slash between the o and s to emphasize the
"soft" part of the name and convey motion and speed."

The original logo was a "groovy logo" and reflective of the 70's and 80's.
I can see this logo with glowing Disco lights.

The old logo, which was green, in all uppercase, and featured a
fanciful letter O, nicknamed the blibbet, but it was discarded.
Microsoft "blibbet" logo, used until 1987.

IBM

The IBM logo is another logo that is easily identied,

especially by anyone in the computer industry. IBM,
has been known as "Big Blue" and they have
simplified their logo over the years, and their name.
What started as International Business Machines is
now just "IBM" and the color blue has been a
signature in their unifying campaign as they have
moved to become an IT services company.

In 1972, the company introduced a new version of the

logotype. Designed by Paul Rand, horizontal stripes
now replaced the solid letters to suggest "speed and
dynamism." In the intervening quarter-century, the
basic design has remained constant, one of the most
recognized logotypes in the world, and a design that
has been widely imitated by others. Read more about

HMV

His Master's Voice, today usually abbreviated to

HMV, is a famous trademark in the music business,
and for many years was the name of a large record
label. The name was coined in 1899 as the title of a
painting of the Jack Russell Terrier dog Nipper
listening to a wind-up gramophone. In the original
painting, the dog was listening to a cylinder
phonograph.

The famous trademark image comes from a painting

by English artist Francis Barraud, A.R.A. and titled
His Master's Voice. It was acquired from the artist in
1899 by the newly-formed Gramophone Company.
According to contemporary Gramophone Company
publicity material, the dog, a fox terrier called Nipper,
had originally belonged to Barraud's brother Mark.
When Mark Barraud died, Francis inherited Nipper,
along with a cylinder phonograph and a number of
recordings of Mark's voice. Francis noted the peculiar
interest that the dog took in the recorded voice of his
late master emanating from the trumpet, and
conceived the idea of committing the scene to canvas.
