BMW Logo - Official Brand Emblem and Design History #3732302 (License: Personal Use)

The BMW logo consists of a black outer ring with bold white “BMW” lettering, encircling a central roundel divided into four quadrants-alternating blue and white, representing the Bavarian flag and the company’s aviation origins. Though often mistaken for a spinning propeller, the design was intended to evoke motion and regional pride. First introduced in 1917, it has undergone subtle refinements while preserving its core identity across over a century of automotive history.
