Nice post. I did not know about the symbolism in Toyota’s or Mercedes’ logos.

I must’ve missed this post along the way. Excellent round-up! Nice insight from Dave too, about the Toyota logo.

Hello, Just wanted to let you know I am including a link to your article in my recommendations for my students to look at in conjunction with a class project in Geometry to look at and design logos with congruent triangles.

Thanks,

That’s interesting Dave! It’s like taking so long to see the arrow in the FedEx logo. Now I’ll see it every time!

Hi Dave. No, I didn’t realize that about Toyota. Thanks for pointing it out – amazing!

Do you realise that the Toyota badge makes up not only a T but all of the letters in “TOYOTA”?

It’s one of my favourite logos for the sheer simplicity of design to what it conveys.

You’re right Niyaz, complex shapes are more difficult to re-create in our minds, thus they’re less recognizable.

Thanks, Dao By Design, glad you liked the post. Yes, it is very interesting to go back in time and see how some very famous companies approached their branding.

It is incredible, isn’t it Lauren, that so many car companies used circular or oval shapes for their logos. Sometimes it looked as they’ve used the same designer ;-)
