1909. Daimler's star. The suggestion to use the star as a trademark came from Gottlieb Daimler's sons. Their father had once sent his wife a postcard with a star marking out the house where he was living in Deutz. "One day this star will shine down on my work", he said.

车标故事：

从车标中我们不仅可以探寻到创业者奋斗的足迹，还能够窥视他们独立潮头的身影，有许多车标是直接用创业者的名字命名的。世界上第一辆汽车，就是用“汽车之父”卡尔　本茨(Carl Benz)的名字命名的。德国人卡尔·本茨是汽车的发明者之一,世界第一辆汽车的制造者。他创立的奔驰汽车公司于1886年1月29日获得汽车制造专利权，这一天被公认为世界上首辆汽车的诞生日。“平治”和“奔驰”都是Benz的中译名称，前者为香港代理商行采用，后者则流行于中国大陆，两者均被誉为品牌翻译中的经典之作，各自来历不同。“平治”给人们以傲视群雄之感，原出于《孟子》书中“修身、齐家、治国、平天下”的人生信念，既突出了汽车本身的稳重、高贵，也符合车主的显赫身份。至于奔驰的定名则更费周张，因为在中国处理外国品牌名称的翻译时，一般习惯是音译，所以起初的版本都是译音不译意。“奔驰”取自“Benz”译音，但在译意方面，可说是与译音天衣无缝，十全十美。“奔”腾飞跃，“驰”骋千里，充满活力动感，正是Mercedes-Benz的最佳写照。
