Yamaha is a famous Japanese brand known for its high-quality music production and transmission equipment and accessories. The company was found in 1887 under its business management section of Yamaha Group and soon made a name in the market with its wide range of products and the quality it is admired for.
Like the company itself, its logo has an interesting story to tell as well.
In 1898, just one year after forming the company Nippon Gakki Limited, Yamaha decided to use a tuning fork as their corporate hallmark with a design that featured a Chinese phoenix holding a tuning fork in the mouth. The logo was used for about 26 years, but with time, several changes were made as the company continued to grow. So, in 1916, the company decided to have just a tuning fork in their logo, but this time, there were 3 of them.
Fast forward to today, the Yamaha logo still featured those 3 tuning forks that represent three pillars of their business, naming technology, production, and sales.
