Development history

In 1885 and 1886, Karl Friedrich Benz (full name: Karl Friedrich Benz, Chinese Name: Karl Friedrich Benz, short for Karl Benz). Due to the word "Benz" in the brand name, and the official website of Mercedes Benz China uses the translation of "Karl Benz", it is now mostly translated as "Karl Benz") and Gottlieb Daimler have made their first cars. In 1883, Carl Benz started the stove first, and established Benz Automobile Company in Mannheim, which led to the evolution of car logo

Gottlieb Daimler patented the Trident in 1909, but Mercedes Benz is a circular emblem. Gottlieb Daimler's logo comes from Daimler's letter to his wife. He thinks that the star he painted on the house of his family will bring him good luck. The three pointed star also symbolizes the development of Mercedes Benz in the three directions of sea, land and air. In 1909, in order to commemorate the mass production of his car, Mr. Gottlieb Daimler changed the gear pattern in the Trident into laurel twig to show his victory. "Mercedes" in the logo is taken from the name of the beautiful daughter of its Austrian car dealer Emil Jellinek. "Mercedes" has the meaning of luck in Spanish. Unfortunately, this beautiful woman died in an unfortunate marriage at the age of 40, but the practice of naming her after her spread like wildfire.

In June 1909, Daimler automobile company applied for the registration of "Trident star" as the logo of the car, symbolizing the mechanization of landing, water and air. In 1916, a circle was added around it. Four small stars were inlaid on the top of the circle, and the word Mercedes was on the bottom.

Mercedes Benz's logo was originally Benz with laurel twigs around it. In 1926, Daimler and Mercedes Benz merged. The star logo and Mercedes Benz's laurel twig finally merged into one, with Mercedes Benz under it. After that, the laurel branches were changed into rings, and the words Mercedes Benz were removed. With the merger of the two long-standing automobile manufacturers, the manufacturer applied for the trademark patent again. The star logo in this ring has evolved into today's pattern, which has been used up to now, and has become one of the most famous trademarks in the world.
