Do you guys ever wonder what the famous Toyota emblem stood for?

Umm, well to me, I always thought it looked a little like a FRIGGING T.
T is for Toyota, and that good enough for me.

I second that. Mazda has the M like shape, honda has the H, so i always thought the toyota sign was a T. Easy enough... or am i wrong? :O

it stands for "neva eva gonna get no aftermarket support"

its a T.... dont overanalyze haha..

[SoSlow]

don't worry, i didn't realize it was a T until this year either :)

I knew it was a T but don't know why they used that emblem to symbolize the T. Looks like 3 rings.

its accually a tarus head you know the bull and that all i really know i dont want to say anything and have it be wrong but it is a tarus head its really cool i like it

Taurus head is right - it's supposed to stylize the star constellation of the bull (=taurus). "Toyo" means "East" (geographical) in japanese, and the taurus constellation is mostly observed in the eastern sky (and Japan is of course considered to be in the East).

Subuaru's emblem contains the orion constallation (I think), and there's a couple more, but I forgot...

The emblem actually spells TOYOTA....take a close look at it and you can make out all the letters.....

I cant believe that no one else knows this.....
