Partnership with Ford Motor Company :
Years Symbol Description
1936 The first registered corporate logo, which appeared on three wheel trucks in 1936.
1936 The first stylized branding. The three mountains (representing Hiroshima) also form the Latin alphabet letter M, which is duplicated three times for "Mazda Motor Manufacturer". The long side extensions represent wings for agility and speed.
1959 1975 Symbol and corporate mark as seen on most Mazda cars from the Mazda R360 until 1975
1975 1991 Between 1975 and 1991, Mazda did not have an official symbol, only a stylized version of their name; the previous blue "m" symbol was still used in some dealerships up until the 1980s, but later on a plain blue square next to the Mazda name was often used on dealer signs and documentation
1991 1992 In 1991, Mazda adopted a corporate symbol which was to represent a sun and a flame standing for heartfelt passion. This is commonly referred to in Mazda enthusiast circles as the "cylon" logo .
1992 1997 Shortly after the release of the new symbol, the design was smoothed out to reduce its similarity to Renault's. This is sometimes referred to as the "eternal flame" logo.
1997 present A redesigned symbol was introduced in 1997. It's a stylized "M" meant to show Mazda stretching its wings for the future.
