Yamaha started as an Organ and piano manufacturer.
Hence why their logo is 3 tuning forks.
BMW started off making aircraft engines over a hundred years ago when powered aircraft were first being developed .... which is why their logo is a circle with four different coloured quarters, it's the image of a spinning propeller
Just don't ask them what they were doing between 1933 and 1945
This is a misconception. The chequered blue and white is part of a Bavarian flag, but due to some legal issues they had to straighten it.
