original toyota company logo, need help on orientation Options

[axelrduvirage]

i am drawing up a bunch of toyota related logos and was wondering if anyone can help me. i found what is the original toyota company logo but i found it oriented in 2 different ways. this one is from a picture of a pin given to employees, even today. i found it on the toyota website http://www.toyota.co.jp/en/vision/traditions/nov_dec_04.html



and this one is the one i created from multiple google image searches:



can anyone tell me which way is up

thanks

did they ever have an emblem like that? if so i want one for my car.

[Tigawoods]

i think it is time for someone to make some decals i will look into how much it would cost for me to get them made. or if anyone would be interested.

[goferris]

woah!!! is diahatsu owned by toyota? i never knew that. i went to the link you provided and under the automotive tab it showed
toyota
lexus
Hino
diahatsu

the materia looks almost exactly like the new xb so i guess they must be. wow. i never would have guessed. but then again i don't see too many diahatsu cars rolling around.

sorry that i went completely off topic.

if you can get over the copyright "issues" i can send you my renders in any size and just about any format.

your render is right side up.

Actually his is upside down. It should be an exageration of the Katakana symbols for Toyoda which are トヨタ. Notice the middle character.

this is one i made about 1 year ago.... I had it on myspace for some time but I recently changed it.

How about セリカ instead

now i'm confused. so, the pin pic from the original post is correct? i thought it would be considering the source. i just can't confirm it by searching the web.

Yes, the first picture you posted (the pin picture) is the correct direction it should be facing.

Wow. Noticed just today I have this emblem on my gas filler cap.

So I guess you guys also have it?

..I guess Toyota has been using same caps for tens of years

[808celica]

look top right

[Tigawoods]

like i stated earlier...we MUST make decals!

[Penkka]

Do you have that logo on gas filler caps?

[Tigawoods]

next time i go up to my car i will check

[99GT]

Nice. I want. It's like that pig for the Subarus.

[Tigawoods]

here is a pic of it

[Culpable04]

it's also on the label at the bottom of the seat belt where it attaches to the floor.

[Culpable04]

for those looking for a big one

[Chanh55]

Oh wow... I didn't know Toyota had an older logo. That says Toyota in Katakana...

Good stuff.

And of course for america, there is yet another stupid warning text. Japanese people don´t think your that smart I guess In USDM models, isn´t there a "unleaded only" text in the gauges?
