What does the Mercedes-Benz logo represent? Let show you want it means, straight from the source.
The three-pointed star was officially trademarked in 1909. Each arm of the star represents a different aspect of Mercedes engineering: land, air, and sea operation. The logo as we know it today—the three-pointed star inside a circle (pictured on the right)—was adopted in 1926 when Mercedes merged with long-time competitor Benz. The circle around the star was originally a laurel wreath, which has a long-standing history going back to the Greeks and Romans as a symbol of honor and victory.
In 1886, the Carl Benz applied for a patent for a “vehicle with gas engine operation,” dubbed in the original German as “Patent-Motorwagen.” Translated, it means “Patent Motor Car.” It was noteworthy not only for being the first legally defined automobile, but also its independent construction. What that means is Carl Benz designed a vehicle from the ground up, instead of simply installing an engine an existing carriage.
