Many fans are just discovering the secret hidden meaning behind Toyota‘s emblem.
At first glance, it may seem like a simple arrangement of three ovals.
But if motorists delve deeper, they’ll be able to uncover an enigmatic message.
Taking to social media, many users attempted to explain the design.
One said: “It is just a bunch of circles arranged so that they look cool.”
Another even said they could see “an angel” with others adding that it could also be “a guy wearing a cowboy hat”.
Luckily, a cars expert has spilled the beans on the real meaning behind the Japanese car.
Spencer, an author and content writer for The Small Business Blog explained: “The logo symbolises the unification of the hearts of the customer and the product, as well as the company’s relentless pursuit of technological advancement and innovation.
“This elegant design encapsulates Toyota’s legacy of excellence, reliability, and forward-thinking.”
The logo was originally introduced in the late 80s as part of the car’s design makeover.
The company then updated it in 2020 around Europe in a bid to mark a new era for the brand as it transitioned from a car company to a mobility film.
A statement in Toyota UK Magazine said: “The inner ovals symbolise the heart of the customer and the heart of the company, overlapping to represent a mutually beneficial relationship and trust between the two, as well as forming a ‘T’ shape for Toyota.
“The outer oval one signifies the world embracing Toyota.”
According to Toyota, each oval is drawn with a different “stroke of thickness” inspired by Japanese calligraphy art and culture.
And the space in the background of the logo represents the “infinite values” of the company.
Many car enthusiasts took to social media to praise the amusing logo.
One individual said: “That is so cute – adorable.”
It comes as drivers spotted the fun hidden meaning behind a small design at the front of a major car brand’s EV.
The electric Jeep Avenger has turned heads since its launch last year. But now fans are starting to spot design features with a hidden meaning.
Meanwhile, the animal that everyone knows Vauxhall for is the griffin in its logo, but the car manufacturer also hides an Easter Egg on its motors.
According to Auto Express, the 2004 Corsa kicked off a tradition that every new Vauxhall and Opel would come with a shark motif hidden somewhere in the interior.
