BMW

The once aircraft company ended up as one of worlds best known car manufacturing companies BMW or Bayerishce Motoren Werke AG (Bavarian Motor Works) also used to supply planes during World War I. After the war, they made railway brakes, motorized bicycles, motorcycles and then cars. The colors white and blue symbol in BMW came from its roots as an airplane company since the pilot’s view through the propeller were alternating segments of blue and white. As the years passed, it was styled into solid quarters to declare their identity of cars and motorcycles. In 1970, BMW continued its improvement for the logo. Up to this day, the inspiration of the logo is still the airplane’s propeller.
