What is depicted on the Mercedes-Benz logo?

Established almost 100 years ago, Mercedes is a well-known name in automobile history, otherwise known as Mercedes-Benz. The German automobile manufacturer became the largest seller of premium vehicles in the world as of 2018, having sold more than 2.31 million cars.

Best known as the “Mercedes star”, the shape has been a consistent part of the Mercedes emblem for several years, although initially, the Mercedes Benz logo featured only the name of the company and nothing else.

The “new” Mercedes logo as it stands today is a simple three-point star designed in slick metallic chrome.

According to one of the founders, Gottlieb Daimler, the star represented protection and later took on the meaning of “perfection” as the number of “3” began to be recognized as sacred, combining the elements of water, air, and land.
