The 'Mercedes' name was registered right back in 1902, but at that time there
was no logo or trademark to accompany it. The idea for the 'Star' logo came
when Paul and Adolf Daimler, the two sons of the company's founder (and then in
charge of the business), remembered that their father had once used a star
symbol in his family correspondence.
Their father, Gottlieb Daimler, had been technical director of the Deutz gas
engine factory from 1872 until 1881. At the beginning of his employment there,
he had marked a star above his own house on a picture postcard of Cologne and
Deutz, and had written to his wife that this star would one day shine over his
own factory to symbolize prosperity.
Mercedes Benz Logo Design and History
The Mercedes-Benz logo is one of the most famous brands in the wor;d. The Benz
logo is a simplistic three-pointed star that represents its domination of the
land, the sea, and the air. The famous three-pointed star was designed by
Gottlieb Daimler to show the ability of his motors for land, air and sea-usage.
It was first seen on a Daimler in 1909, and was combined with the Benz laurel
wreath in 1926 to signify the union of the two firms. Mercedes-Benz is the
world's oldest automobile manufacturer.
When the patented name "Mercedes" was registered in September 1902 Daimler
Motoren Gesellschaft had a successful brand name but still lacked a
characteristic trademark. Then Paul and Adolf Daimler - the company founder’s
two sons, and now in charge of the business - remembered that their father had
once used a star as a symbol.
