My only quibble with the BMW logo description is I believe the blue and white represent the colors of Bavaria - not the blue of the sky.

someone wrote headquarters a while back and its supposed to represent the propeller against a blue sky. or something like that.

It represents the propeller cause BMW made the airplane engines in the 1st Cival war.

I think.

"To this day it is remembered by the emblem of the BMW: the blue and parts symbolize the sky, seen through moving propeller blades."
