Tesla's logo consists of two parts, the main part of the letter T represents a part of the motor rotor, and the second line at the top represents a part of the peripheral stator. Tesla CEO Musk explained on Twitter that this stylized "T" is actually a hint of the company's products, saying that the T-shaped logo represents the cross section of the motor.

In terms of logo design, Tesla and Space Exploration Technology also have similarities. Space exploration technology company is another bold adventure of Musk, which is dedicated to building rockets and sending payloads into space orbit. Musk said in a tweet that the deformed "X" in the logo of Space Exploration Technology Company represents the rocket launch trajectory. The logo of Tesla and Space Exploration Technologies comes from the design company RO-Studio in New Jersey.
Compared with Tesla and Space Exploration Technology, the logo of SolarCity, Musk's third company, is relatively simple. The picture of the yellow sun is accompanied by the company name, which is simple and clear. Under the leadership of Musk, Tesla acquired SolarCity last year, which triggered people's reverie about solar electric vehicles. Previously SolarCity was controlled by Musk and his family members, but after the acquisition, it was called a corporate entity affiliated with Tesla.
The acquisition of SolarCity hints at Musk's expectations for Tesla's future, and is not only satisfied with the latter becoming a car manufacturer. Not long ago, the company officially changed its name to "Tesla Corporation" instead of the previous "Tesla Motors Corporation".
