QUOTE(Boss-Celica @ Oct 24, 2005 - 8:13 PM) I know the celica logo, the dragon is suppose to be those old vikings ships. [right][snapback]348668[/snapback][/right] A Japanese manufacturer choses a logo to look like a Viking ship....okay. Or maybe the logo was chosen to resemble dragonboats, of which apparently Toyoda (the company founder, note the spelling difference) was quite fond. Remember, in Asian mythology dragons are benevolent. This would explain why the Celica dragon design is a distinctly Asian interpretation of the dragon -- and looks like the dragons you see on the front of traditional dragonboats. |
