It is the logo of Toyota Motor Corporation.
The current Toyota logo was released in October 1989 on the occasion of the company's 50th anniversary. Two elements were needed in the design, namely that the Toyota was identifiable from a distance and that it had a more visual impact compared to other cars.
There are three ovals in the new logo, which are symmetrical. The two mutually perpendicular ovals within the large oval represent the hearts of customers and manufacturers respectively. Their overlapping outlines symbolize the mutual affinity.
The overall outer outline of these two mutually perpendicular small ovals is the initial letter "T" of "Toyota", which symbolizes Toyota and also symbolizes the steering wheel, that is, the vehicle itself. The large oval outside symbolizes the world that surrounds Toyota. The outline of each ellipse refers to the essence of brush calligraphy, using strokes of different thicknesses.
The background space of the logo represents the "infinite value" that Toyota wants to convey to consumers, which includes: excellent quality, exceeding expectations, driving pleasure, innovation and integrity in safety, environmental protection and social responsibility.
