BMW’s round logo traces its origins to the emblem of Rapp Motorenwerke. Inside, alternating white and blue sectors symbolize the colors of the Bavarian flag and simultaneously depict a rotating propeller against the sky — a nod to the company’s aviation heritage.
In 2020, BMW introduced an updated logo: a flat 2D design with a transparent outer ring and modern typography. This new style emphasizes the brand’s commitment to openness and a digital future. However, the classic version continues to be used on vehicles.
BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG) is a German brand founded in 1916. Starting with aircraft engines, the company became a leader in producing premium automobiles.
Today, BMW owns the brands MINI and Rolls-Royce, develops electric vehicles (BMW i series), and actively integrates digital technologies. The slogan “Freude am Fahren” reflects the company’s philosophy: a combination of engineering precision, dynamics, and comfort.
