The origin and meaning of Mercedes-Benz logo

The symbol of Mercedes-Benz is an annular three-pointed star, which symbolizes the development of Mercedes-Benz automobile company in three directions: land, sea and air. This three-pointed star originated from a letter from Daimler, one of the founders, to his wife. He thinks that the stars painted on the house at home will bring him good luck. First, 1909, in order to commemorate the mass production of his VELO car, Mr. Daimler changed the gear pattern in the three-pointed star to laurel branches to show victory. The "Mercedes-Benz" in the logo was taken from the name of his beautiful daughter, Emile Jelinek, an Austrian car dealer. "Mercedes-Benz" means lucky in Spanish. Unfortunately, this beautiful woman died in an unhappy marriage at the age of 40, but the practice of naming after her spread like wildfire. The logo of Mercedes-Benz was originally Mercedes-Benz, surrounded by wheat ears. Secondly, in 19 16, Daimler and Mercedes-Benz merged, and the star logo and the ears of Mercedes-Benz finally merged into one, with the words Mercedes-Benz below. Later, the ears of wheat were changed into rings, and the words Mercedes-Benz were removed. Thirdly, with the merger of the two oldest automobile manufacturers, the factory once again applied for a patent right for the trademark, and the star logo on this ring has evolved into today's pattern, which is still in use today and has become one of the top ten famous trademarks in the world.
