In 199, in order to commemorate the mass production of his VELO car, Mr. Daimler changed the gear pattern in the trident to laurel twig to show victory, and the "Mercedes" in the logo was taken from the name of his beautiful daughter, emil jellinek, an Austrian car dealer. "Mercedes" means lucky in Spanish.
