Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury and commercial vehicle brand owned by Daimler AG. The company was founded in 1926, with its headquarters now in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The three-pointed star enclosed by an orbit in the Mercedes-Benz logo reflects the company's control over the sea, land, and air.
The Mercedes-Benz logotype can be seen below, written in a typeface that is quite similar to Kurt Weidemann's popular sans-serif Corporate A BQ Light. More information about the Font Family can be found here.
