camerondownunder88 Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 Old Toyota logo I also believe. As all there old manuals usually have that logo as well and old parts it is cast into it. Cameron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted July 29, 2007 Report Share Posted July 29, 2007 It's the old Toyota logo (back when they changed the name from Toyoda because the logo had a lucky number of strokes when you wrote it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original company name was Toyoda (it was a family name), but Toyota had the lucky number of strokes in it's characters, so thats supposedly why the name was changed The actual katakana looks like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 They still use that logo on alot of forklift stuff and not just the keys. Thats because they still use K-motor stuff in them....which is old enough to still have the old logo on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
