The mid 90s Mazda logo is actually called Ahura's flame and is based on some zoroastrian stuff that I won't look up now but I'm sure is on Wikipedia.

So the Toyota logo is some corporate baloney about unity that doesn't have a direct namesake.... But apparently some people say it looks like a guy wearing a sombrero. Unfortunately, I don't own a sombrero.

Well, lucky for you, sombrero is a Spanish word, and it means 'hat'. Only we dirty gringo's refer to that one specific type of hat as a sombrero. I bet you own a hat.
