I love how these logos often still reflect the initial small scale business, a Yamaha motorbike still features a trio of tuning forks for music. A Mitsubishi… anything… has the three propellor blades of a Zero fighter plane. I made that second one up but apparently it’s three Oak Leaves or Water Caltrops, a simple and enduring symbol.
Yeah but that’s not the origin of the logo, which is just the stylized coat of arms of Bavaria. Then in 1929, 12 years after creating the logo, they ran an add that showed it over a propeller, and never really did anything to dispel the myth that that is the origin of the logo, since it’s a much better story than “IDK we’re bavarian I suppose”.
Me: I need a trumpet, a xylophone, full drum kit, an electric guitar, a full PA system and a grand piano for my jazz show
Yamaha: I got you
Me: I also need a motorcycle to get there and a set of golf clubs for Sunday
Yamaha: I gotchu there too
Me: I want to play games until I get fat
Konami: yo, there you go
Me: damn, that was a bad idea, I need to go work out in a gym
Konami: I’m way ahead of you

Bally: What if we offered the same thing, but also with casinos and crappy sports channels?

Me: I will also need a motor for my boat
Yamaha: anything else?
Me: An ATV for the beach, a Snow Mobile for the winter and a Jet-Ski just because they’re fun.
Yamaha: Of course!
Me: Oh, and you wouldn’t know where I could find a DVD player?

Mitsubishi literally means “three diamonds”
I was going to point out the BMW Propeller but apparently it’s a myth from 1929 and now my day is ruined.
Well, at least we are partners in 20th century logo disappointment.
They did make engines for planes though right? bavarian motor works.

Plot twist: Mitsubishi is secretly controlled by the Bavarians
I saw a Samsung excavator the other day
Samsung also makes military vehicles.
And they built the Burj Khalifa!
Samsung excavator = Volvo excavator. Samsung is just relabeling the Volvos.
You forgot digital mixer, SMT assembly systems and gas generators
ITT: people who are surprised large manufacturers manufacture lots of things.
