Karl Benz and gottlieb daimler.
1926, in order to avoid crowding out each other in the growing automobile industry, Mercedes-Benz and Daimler Automobile Company finally came together and founded the world-famous "Mercedes-Benz"? Mercedes. In the past hundred years, with the vigorous development of the automobile industry, many automobile manufacturers have emerged. Up to now, only three or four companies have survived, and only one Mercedes-Benz is a century-old shop.
The origin of Mercedes-Benz logo
Gottlieb daimler applied for a patent for the Trident Star logo at 1909, but Mercedes-Benz belongs to the round badge. Daimler's logo comes from Daimler's letter to his wife. He thinks that the stars he draws on the house at home will bring him good luck. This three-pointed star also symbolizes the development of Mercedes-Benz in three directions: land, sea and air. 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" in the logo was taken from the name of his beautiful daughter, Austrian car dealer emil jellinek. "Mercedes-Benz" means lucky in Spanish.
The logo of Mercedes-Benz was originally Mercedes-Benz, surrounded by wheat ears. 1926, Daimler merged with Mercedes-Benz, 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.
