LOGO MERCEDES BENZ
Mercedes-Benz est une marque allemande d'automobiles, de tracteurs, de camions et d'autocars indépendante fondée en 1926.
Histoire
En 1886, l'inventeur allemand Gottlieb Daimler invente le moteur à combustion interne avec Wilhelm Maybach à Cannstatt près de Stuttgart (Royaume de Wurtemberg) puis fonde la société Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft en 1890 avec Wilhelm Maybach (ingénieur en chef) et son fils Paul Daimler qui lui succédera après sa disparition en 1900. En 1896, G. W. Daimler entre dans l'ère de l'industrie du camion avec son premier 1,5 tonne à moteur arrière.
En 1902, Emil Jellinek, le plus important concessionnaire d'automobile Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft de la Riviera du début du XXe siècle dépose et protège officiellement et légalement la marque commerciale "Mercedes", du surnom de sa fille alors âgée de 13 ans, et signe un «contrat d'exclusivité commerciale» pour les automobiles Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft pour l'Autriche-Hongrie, la France, la Belgique et les États-Unis. Il fait légalement modifier son nom en «Emil Jellinek-Mercedes». Il fait construire par Paul Daimler et Wilhelm Maybach de Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft les premières Mercedes 35 HP de course et Mercedes Simplex qu'il se charge de commercialiser et entre au conseil d'administration de Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft.
En 1909, Mercedes dépose la célèbre étoile à trois pointes, pour représenter les trois voies que Gottlieb Daimler avait choisies pour ses moteurs : terre, mer et air, emblème de toutes ses voitures à partir de 1911. En 1923, un camion Daimler à moteur Diesel fut exposé à la foire de Berlin.
En 1931, les modèles sont désignés par le préfixe L (pour lastwagen, "camion" en français). Pendant la guerre, plus de 64 000 camions utilitaires seront produits, presque exclusivement pour les forces armées.

Mercedes-Benz is a German automobile manufacturer, a multinational division of the German manufacturer Daimler AG. The brand is used for luxury automobiles, buses, coaches, and trucks. The headquarters of Mercedes-Benz is in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
The name first appeared in 1926 under Daimler-Benz, but traces its origins to Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft's 1901 Mercedes and to Karl Benz's 1886 Benz Patent-Motorwagen, which is widely regarded as the first gasoline powered automobile. Mercedes-Benz's slogan is "Das Beste oder nichts" (English: "The best or nothing"). Mercedes-Benz is part of the "German Big 3" luxury automakers, along with Audi and BMW, which are the best-selling luxury automakers in the world.
History
Mercedes-Benz traces its origins to Karl Benz's creation of the first petrol-powered car, the Benz Patent Motorwagen, financed by Bertha Benz and patented in January 1886, and Gottlieb Daimler and engineer Wilhelm Maybach's conversion of a stagecoach by the addition of a petrol engine later that year. The Mercedes automobile was first marketed in 1901 by Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft. The first Mercedes-Benz brand name vehicles were produced in 1926, following the merger of Karl Benz's and Gottlieb Daimler's companies into the Daimler-Benz company. Throughout the 1930s, Mercedes-Benz produced the 770 model, a car that was popular during Germany's Nazi period. Adolf Hitler was known to have driven these cars during his time in power, with bulletproof windshields. Most of the surviving models have been sold at auctions to private buyers. One of them is currently on display at the War Museum in Ottawa, Ontario. Mercedes-Benz has introduced many technological and safety innovations that later became common in other vehicles. Mercedes-Benz is one of the best-known and established automotive brands in the world, and is also one of the world's oldest automotive brand still in existence today in 2015, having produced the first petrol-powered car.
Three-pointed star: land, water and air
In the 1870s, while working for Otto at Deutz AG Gasmotorenfabrik in Cologne, Daimler sent his wife Emma Kunz a postcard, marking his residence with a three-pointed star and writing: "one day this star will shine over our triumphant factories". Since then, this line has inspired both Daimler and Maybach when developing light and powerful engines for "land, water, and air".
In the 1900s, after the Mercedes' success, DMG was still lacking a trademark. Paul and Adolf Daimler, the sons of Gottlieb (who had died in early March 1900), suggested using that symbol. Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft's board accepted the proposal in June 1909, also registering a four-pointed one. The four-pointed star became the emblem of Deutsche Aerospace AG (DASA) in the 1980s and then the logo of the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS).
The three-pointed star debuted in 1910. In 1916, it was surrounded by a circle with four additional stars, with either the name Mercedes or of the respective factory (Untertürkheim or Berlin-Marienfelde). In 1937, the familiar symbol was registered by Daimler-Benz, a three-dimensional three-pointed star, contained in a circle.
