JAPAN'S MAZDA
Mazda began its production in 1920 as the Toyo Cork Kogyo Co in Hiroshima, Japan by producing trucks and tools. There was a cork shortage because of World War I, so the company was founded to process a cork substitute made from the bark of Chinese cork oak tree. It was a good idea at the time, but shortly afterwards Japan could get back the real cork again.
In the year 1927, Jujiro Matsuda came onboard and the company began manufacturing tools, three-wheeled "trucks" and then it moved on making cars. in later 1948 the company formally adopted the name Mazda, which depending on who you ask, stood for the Zoroastrian god Ahura Mazda or an anglicized pronunciation of Matsuda the founder's name.
The M shaped curved logo was set as logo of MaZda which was inspired by the emblem of Hiroshima city. The 1991 and 1992 logos symbolized a wing, the Sun and a circle of light. Mazda's current logo, nicknamed the "owl" logo, was designed by Rei Yoshimara in 1997. In the logo stylized "M" looks like stretched wings, but many people saw a stylized tulip instead. though Mazda is an famous car manufacturer it has not stared its buisness in south asia market.
