The Mercedes Trademark Star and Laurel

I really enjoy artwork originating during the Weimar Era in Germany.  It is the dynamic flow of the clothing, the use of color, the script in the advertisements -- all come together in what is depicted below. A remarkable time of innovation, only to be squashed after the onset of the Great Depression,

Advertisement with the trademarks of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft and Benz & Cie. from 1925 – the year before the merger of the two companies into Daimler-Benz AG.

A combined show of strength: advertising poster from 1926 marking the merger between Daimler and Benz. It shows the Mercedes three-pointed star and the Benz laurel wreath.

Mercedes star as a radiator mascot, drawing from the 1920s.
