Mercedes-Benz

==Logo history==
In June 1909, [[Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft]] (DMG) registered both a three-pointed and a four-pointed star as trademarks, but only the three-pointed star was used. To DMG, the star symbolized Gottlieb Daimler's aims for universal motorization: on land, water and in the air.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/mercedes-benz/classic/the-true-story-behind-the-mercedes-benz-three-pointed-star/ |title=The True Story Behind the Mercedes-Benz Three-Pointed Star |first=Jim |last=Davis |publisher=emercedesbenz.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216014826/http://www.emercedesbenz.com/autos/mercedes-benz/classic/the-true-story-behind-the-mercedes-benz-three-pointed-star/ |archive-date=16 February 2016|date=22 June 2012}}</ref>
