The meaning of the Mercedes star

[drcharlesatlas]

Many of you guys already know this, but for those who don't here is the meaning of the star:

The Mercedes star is a symbol for dominion--dominion over the sky, earth and sea.

It is meant to symbolize Daimler's ambition of universal motorization: 'on land, on water and in the air', not dominion.

The new MB museum in Stuttgart has a panorama devoted to this showing the early marine and air applications of the Daimler engines.
