About Yamaha Motor
A horizontal lockup: a circular metallic badge sits to the left of a bold, uppercase wordmark reading "YAMAHA". The badge is a silver-rimmed roundel with a red-to-dark-red gradient fill and a white, three-pronged tuning-fork motif centred inside.
The wordmark is a solid, condensed sans-serif in a red tone matching the badge's centre. The emblem uses metallic gradients and subtle shadows to give a slight 3D appearance; the overall composition is symmetrical and compact, pairing an emblematic roundel with a bold typographic name.
What's in it: three interlocking tuning forks
Shapes: roundel (circle) wordmark (uppercase) radial symmetrical motif
Style: modern metallic gradient bold sans-serif symmetrical emblem + wordmark
Text in logo: YAMAHA
The central white motif is visibly three tuning forks arranged in a radial pattern, visually evoking music, sound, and precision.
