I believe RNM is the largest car manufacturer in the world now. Talk about big news that the car community wont pay attention to. Exciting times ahead.

Was the Mitsubishi logo supposed to look like an airplane propeller?

I miss sure that’s an intentional design cue maneuver.

I believe I once heard that the Mitsu diamond logo was supposed to be a propeller. Because Mitsu built the Japanese ZERO fighter planes.

*I guess I should look this up but why not randomly and publicly speculate about it. More fun this way!

No.

The name “Mitsubishi” refers to the three-diamond emblem. “Mitsubishi” is a combination of the words mitsu and hishi . Mitsu means three. Hishi means water chestnut, and Japanese have used the word for a long time to denote a rhombus or diamond shape. Japanese often bend the “h” sound to a “b” sound when it occurs in the middle of a word. So they pronounce the combination of mitsu and hishi as mitsubishi .

Yataro Iwasaki, the founder of the old Mitsubishi organization, chose the three-diamond mark as the emblem for his company. The mark is suggestive of the three-leaf crest of the Tosa Clan, Yataro’s first employer, and also of the three stacked rhombuses of the Iwasaki family crest.

No. As the logo was created years before the zero planes.

We’re updating ours too.

I think we’ve settled on a big sad emoji.

Now if they could just build some more interesting cars. Every time I see an Altima or Sentra, I instinctively go on the defensive.
