I was reading an article entitled "Logo Evolution of 25 Famous Brands"

However, for the BMW entry, it reads ...

Everybody knows a BMW automobile when they see one, but most of them have no idea what the logo means. The trademark blue-white BMW logo is meant to symbolize the movement of an aircraft propeller, of white blades cutting through the blue skies. It was first created in 1923, but the logo has pretty much retained its original features other than a few minor modifications to its fonts and colors.



but we all know it is to do with  the colours/pattern of the Bavarian State Flag - right?

This New York Times article BMW Roundel: Not Born From Planes cites a BMW Museum Tour Guide

So there you are a bit of info for your next pub quiz or wager Big smile
