I'm guessing that's an 80's logo representing the T from Toyota in the Romanji version of Toyoda (Toyoda). There were various versions spread throughout the worldOriginally posted by ntp View Post
But did you know there's a hidden needle and thread in the new ellipses logo as a reference to Toyota's origins as a loom manufacturer?

Very clever and actually true. Until 1936 it was called Toyoda after the founder.Originally posted by craigm View PostSaw this tonight....[ATTACH]22212[/ATTACH]

It has been regarded as a favorable transition from "Toyoda" to "Toyota", because voiceless consonants sound more appealing than voiced consonants. In addition, through the concept of "jikaku" (counting the number of strokes in writing characters to determine good and bad luck), its eight-stroke count is associated with wealth and good fortune. Lastly, the change also signified the expansion of an small independent company to a larger corporate enterprise.
