Mercedes-Benz is a German manufacturer of automobiles. Presently, it is a division of its parent company, Daimler AG. Mercedes-Benz was founded by   Karl Benz and Gottlieb Daimler in 1886.  The company had introduced many technological and safety innovations that later became common in other vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz car logo stands out among other car logos in the market. It uses the symbol of points that head out in three different directions pointing to air, water, and land. The logo was a concept of Gottfied Daimler, who heads the manufacturing of a range of transport movers who work effectively across air, water and land. These services made the company logo famous for other car logos.

Furthermore, the logo marked a historical connection similar to other car logos. The color silver badge is very typical of the Mercedes Benz logo and dates back to its involvement in the very first Grand Prix, which ran at Nuerburgring in 1934. When one of the cars exceeded its eligible weight for the race in the pre-race checks, the officials spent the night polishing off the paint so that the car was back to its raw silver color. The following day as the car ran around the track it has shone a beautiful silver color and was termed the “silver arrow.”

It is one of the most well-known and established automotive brands in the world, and is also the world’s oldest automotive brand still in existence today.
