21 Corporate Logos and Their Hidden Meanings

2. BMW

Anyone who’s seen Finding Forrester knows this one. The BMW logo is an airplane propeller twirling against a blue sky, a logo which represents the company’s foundations in aviation. In fact, in the 1940s BMW’s primary gig was making planes for the German military. Another way to say that is: BMW was buddies with the Nazis. Seems weird they’re still kind of subtly paying homage to those foundations with their logo. Just saying.
