No one may remember them, but once they see one, they recognize it. Companies pay a lot of money to design logos that communicate to buyers, logos that tell a story. For example, Toyota logo has three ellipses intertwined. One is the heart of the customer, the other the heart of the technology used and the last one is the heart of the product.

Mercedes Benz
The logo of the Mercedes Benz is a three-pointed star. The genius behind this logo was Gottlieb Daimler who first saw the symbol while he was sending his wife a postcard with the star. From then on, he desired to see it as the face of his factories. To him, the meaning was much deeper and it symbolized the triumph over “sea, land and air”.
Lamborghini
Ferruccio Lamborghini was a Taurus and he loved the bull. May be it was only natural that he would epitomize his love for bullfights and for his Zodiac sign in his car logo. Today, the symbol of this car is a regal bull. On the road, this car is as vicious as the bulls he had seen in Seville.
Volvo
The Volvo logo is a combination of name and symbols. For example, the circle means Mars, iron for which Sweden is well known while the arrow symbolizes mars. The term “Volvo is Latin for “I go”. Thus, this symbol is therefore strongly associated with strength hence the “image of strength”.
Ferrari
Ferrari has a prancing horse on a yellow background. The symbol was first painted on an Italian fighter plane. The plane turned out to be heroic and the mother of the pilot asked him to put the painting on all cars named after him asserting that it would bring “good luck”. 100 years done the line, it still is the symbol of the Ferrari car. The pilots name was Enzo Ferrari.
