BMW Logo - Official Brand Emblem and Design History #3007367 (License: Personal Use)

The BMW logo features a black outer ring with the letters “B M W” in white, encircling a central roundel divided into four quadrants-alternating blue and white-representing the colors of the Free State of Bavaria. Though often mistaken for a spinning propeller (a myth from BMW’s early aircraft engine days), the design intentionally honors regional pride and corporate identity. This emblem has remained largely unchanged since its 1923 formal adoption, embodying over a century of automotive innovation and luxury.

Used on official BMW websites, press kits, vehicle branding, and marketing collateral; serves users seeking brand authenticity, logo history, or visual assets for editorial or commercial purposes.
