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.

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.
