Have you ever looked at logos and wondered what their meanings were or what inspired the designer? Here are 10 logos that you see almost every day and what they represent。

你在看到商標時是否想過它們的含義，又或者思考過是什么給了商標設計者靈感?接下來我們將介紹10個幾乎每天都能見到的商標以及它們背后的意義。

1. TOYOTA

豐田

The three ellipses seen in the logo for Toyota represent three hearts: the heart of the customer, the heart of the product, and the heart of progress in the field of technology。

商標中的三個橢圓代表著三顆心：顧客之心、產(chǎn)品之心和科技進步之心。

2. BMW

寶馬

BMW has a history in aviation and its logo stays true to its roots. The blue and white represent a propeller in motion with the sky peeking through. In fact, BMW had a role in World War II as a creator of aircraft engines for the German military。

BMW曾經(jīng)參與過飛機制造業(yè)，它的商標也來源于此。白色和藍色分別代表螺旋槳和藍天。事實上，BMW曾在二戰(zhàn)期間為德軍生產(chǎn)飛機引擎。

3. Apple

蘋果

The Apple logo represents the forbidden fruit from the “Tree of Knowledge” in the Biblical creation story of Adam and Eve。

蘋果的商標來源于《圣經(jīng)》亞當與夏娃的故事中智慧樹的禁忌果。

4. FedEx

聯(lián)邦快遞

This logo is so creative. If you look closely you will see the arrow between the letter ‘E’ and ‘X’, which represents the company’s forward thinking ways and outlook towards the future。

這是一個很有創(chuàng)意的商標。E和X之間的空隙拼成了一個箭頭，代表公司高瞻遠矚、展望未來。

5. Mercedes-Benz

梅賽德斯奔馳

The Mercedes-Benz logo is the most confident of all. The tri-star represents the company’s dominance in quality and style over all things land, sea and air。

梅賽德斯奔馳的商標最有信心。三芒星代表公司在質(zhì)量和品位上的優(yōu)勢超越一切，無論在陸地、天空或是海洋。

6. Adidas

阿迪達斯

The Adidas logo looks like a mountain to represent the obstacles that people need to overcome. Originally the logo was just three stripes and didn’t stand for anything. So they kept the three stripes and just made them slanted to resemble a mountain。

阿迪達斯的商標像一座山，象征著人們要跨越的障礙。最初這個商標只有三條杠，并不具有任何含義。后來阿迪達斯把三條杠設計成傾斜的來表示山峰。

7. AUDI

奧迪

Plain and simple, right? Well, no. Each of these hoops represent the 4 founding companies of the Auto-Union Consortium way back in 1932: like DKW, Horch, Wanderer and Audi。

看起來平淡無奇，對吧?其實并非如此。4個圓環(huán)代表1932年汽車聯(lián)盟公司(1985年改名為AUDI)的4個組成公司：小奇跡、霍希、漫游者和奧迪。

8. IBM

國際商業(yè)機器公司

IBM’s logo has a hidden message for the whole world. The white lines passing through give the appearance of the equal sign in the lower right corner, representing equality。

IBM的商標中的隱藏含義是平等。穿過藍色字母的白色間隔在商標的右下角組成了等號。

9. Volkswagen

大眾

The ‘V’ stands for “volks” which means people in German and and the ‘W’ stands for “wagen” which means car. It’s the car for the people。

大眾商標的含義是人民的汽車。V德語中代表“人民”(volks)，W則代表汽車(wagen)。

10. Amazon

亞馬遜

You may have thought the arrow looks like a smiley face, meaning Amazon’s main mission is to make their customers happy. But notice the arrow is pointing from the a to the z. This represents the fact that Amazon has a large variety of items for sale, from A to Z。

你可能會想到商標里的箭頭看上去像一個笑臉，意味著亞馬遜的主要使命是讓顧客開心。但請注意那個箭頭是從a指向z，這也代表亞馬遜的商品范圍之廣，巨細靡遺。
