The origin of Mercedes-Benz logo:
Gottlieb daimler, the founder of Mercedes-Benz, applied for a patent for the Trident Star logo at 1909, but Mercedes-Benz belongs to the circular badge. Daimler's logo was inspired by his letter to his wife. He thinks that the stars he draws on the house will bring him good luck. The three-pointed star also symbolizes the development of Mercedes-Benz in three directions: land, sea and air.

The change history of Mercedes-Benz logo;
1909, in order to commemorate the mass production of his VELO car, Mr. Daimler changed the gear pattern in the three-pointed star to cassia twig, and the "Mercedes-Benz" in the logo was taken from the name of his beautiful daughter, Austrian car dealer emil jellinek. "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.
1926, Daimler merged with Mercedes-Benz, and the star emblem 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.
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 and has been used to this day, becoming one of the top ten famous trademarks in the world.
