he round blue and white THE CAR logo or roundel developed from the circular Rapp Motorenwerke logo, from which the BMW company grew, combined with the blue and white colors of the flag of Bavaria. The BMW logo still used today was created in 1917, albeit with various minor styling changes.
The origin of the logo is often thought to be a characterization of the movement of an aircraft propeller with the white blades trimming through a blue skies. However, this portrayal was first used in a BMW advertisement in 1929 – twelve years after the logo was created – so this is not the origin of the logo itself.
The conditions Beemer, Bimmer and Bee-em are commonly used slang for BMW in the English language and are sometimes used interchangeably for cars and motorbikes. In the United Declares, some individuals prescribe that "beemer" should be used specifically for motorcycles and "bimmer" should be used for cars. Some of these people claim that "true aficionados" make this distinction and those who don't are "uninitiated. " Usage in American mainstream media also differs, for example The World and Mail of Canada prefers Bimmer and phone calls Beemer a "yuppie abomination", and the Tacoma News Tribune claims that it is "auto snobs" who use the conditions to distinguish between cars and motorbikes.
