We're always fascinated by cars and bikes but often overlook and don't bother to figure out the meaning of insignia that’s attached to them.
This thread briefs on the meanings of some of the most popular logos. You're welcome to add more.
Audi
This name is based on company's founder, August Horch. Horch means "listen" in German and "Audi" in Latin.
The four rings of the Audi logo each represent one of four car companies that banded together to create Audi's predecessor company, Auto Union.
Audi's slogan, Vorsprung durch Technik, translates into "Advancement through Technology".
BMW
This roundel is evolved from Rapp Motorenwerke logo, an aircraft manufacturer in Germany, which eventually went to form what we today call BMW.
Blue and White colors represent flag of Bavaria. But there's more to it.
The logo is portrayed in such manner that it depicts an aircraft propeller with the white blades cutting through a blue sky.
Chevrolet
Chevy's famous bowtie is said to be inspired from a wallpaper that company's founder, William C Durant, once saw in a hotel room in France.
Ferrari
Prancing horse of Ferrari is unarguably today one of the most admired logos in the world.
Known as Cavallino Rampante, it was originally the emblem of Fancesco Baracca who was a highly respected figure in Italian Airforce during WWI.
Ferrari Enzo was later asked to use this logo on his cars suggesting that it'd bring him goodluck.
Ferrari decided to use it but changed the color of horse from red to black, as a sign of grief after Baracca was killed during war.
Likewise, the background color was also changed from white to yellow which is the color of Modena, Ferrari's birthplace.
Lamborghini
Not surprisingly, Ferruccio Lamborghini decided to use a raging bull as a logo of his car company since he was himself very passionate about bullfighting.
Skoda
The winged arrow of Skoda represents speed. Green color denotes Skoda’s concern towards environment.
Toyota
The three ovals in the 'Toyota' logo, which was unveiled in 1989, combine to form the letter 'T'.
The overlapping of two ovals represents relationship and trust between customers and the company.
While larger oval surrounding them denotes Toyota’s global expansion and unlimited potential for future.

Nope. Mercedes was the name of Emil Jellineck's daughter. Emil Jellineck was a businessman who teamed up with Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach to create the Mercedes brand.
That's not a snake. That's called the 'Visconti Viper'.

About Hyundai Logo :
Many are inclined to think that the logo of the South Korean conglomerate Hyundai is simply the first letter of its name. But in actual fact, the letter ’Н’ symbolizes two people (a client and a representative of the company) shaking hands.
About Toyota Logo:
Many people have compared the logo of the Japanese car-producer Toyota to the image of a cowboy wearing a stereotypical hat. But in actual fact it represents a stylized image of the eye of a needle with a thread passed through it. This is a hint at the company’s past, which used to produce weaving machines. However, the individual parts of the logo also spell out the letters of the company’s name.
About Continental Logo:
Continental, a famous producer of car tires, has a logo in which the first two letters depict the wheel of an automobile wheel.

Bentley
Since Bentley had started life making aircraft engines during the First World War, wings seemed to fit the bill. Interestingly, the feathers are said to be uneven in number on both sides. Furthermore, they are said to have varied throughout the car company's history.
++
Bugatti
The 60 dots placed around the edge of the logo, interestingly, have two stories. First, the dots represent pearls which show grandeur. Second, the dots could represent the safety wires used in Bugatti engines due to the lack of gaskets. The motif seen in the centre represents the initials of the founder, Ettore Bugatti.
++
Maserati
Maserati cars have always given off a vibe of class and the logo is no different. The trident in the logo is derived from that of the Roman god Neptune from Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore central square. The trident signifies the qualities of strength since Neptune was the god of storms, horses and earthquakes. Also, Maserati’s hometown is Bologna.
Tesla
Elon Musk’s Tesla is named after the designer of the alternating current electricity system, Nikola Tesla. Infact, the first model by the brand, the Roadster, had a motor which was descended from Tesla’s original design. The ‘T’ seen on the logo signifies a cross section of an electric motor. The upright part represents a rotor pole while the curved line over the top symbolizes a stator.
