Brand Mark (FLYING-Y)
YANMAR’s “Y”. The company's name "YANMAR" comes from the wings of a dragonfly ("oni-yanma"), which is a Japanese symbol of a bountiful harvest. It presents the image of a company ready to take giant leaps over the next 100 years. The angular form evokes a decisive path into the future, marked by both leadership and technological prowess. Our corporate colour, red, signifies a pioneering spirit, defiance, passion, sunlight and abundance.
Brand logo type
Corporate brand. In 1952, the generic logo for the YANMAR Group was born, based on how the company's name is written in the Roman alphabet, "YANMAR". The current logo was designed in 1993, after a number of changes were made to keep up with the times.
Origin of the Company Name
The "YANMAR" trademark was established in 1921. The name is a combination of the "yanma tonbo" dragonfly (generic name for the "oni-yanma" and "gin-yanma"), the king among dragonflies and a symbol of a rich harvest, and the "Yama" from our founder's name, Magokichi Yamaoka. In 1952, when corporate names written in the katakana syllabary were still rare, the company's name was changed to "YANMAR Diesel Co. Ltd.". In 2002, Yanmar made a fresh start as an operating holding company and changed its name to the current "Yanmar Co., Ltd.".
