My dream car! I learned a lot reading the history and representation. My grandparents, Mercedes Benz owners, Howard R. Grimes (deceased) would be very proud if I ever own a Mercedes Benz. Thank you all for the imformation. Cheers! William R. Funk IV

For those interested.

Each point of the star has a meaning. It goes something like this:

botton-left: LAND
bottom-right: SEA
top: AIR

Mercedses-Benz manufactures automobiles, parts and accessories for use on Land, Sea and Air.

Hi, nice post. I had been told that Mercedes logo was a star because the company has manufactured aircraft engines and the logo was the shape of blades. Does anyone know if it’s true? And what about BMW logo?

The logo/symbol is serendipitously, or perhaps intentionally, evocative of a steering wheel.

“Mercédès is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while the Benz came as a result of a merger with Benz and Cie in 1926.”

Wrong – Mercédès is the name of the Emil Jellinek’s daughter.
