Corporate Symbol
Brand Symbol
Corporate Wordmark
The original mark includes a red circle
and blue central bar with white lettering.
The blue bar signifies sincerity; the red
circle the rising sun. The symbol concept
is “sincerity brings success,” reflecting
the founding spirit of the company.
The brand symbol is the reflection of
Nissan itself. While inheriting the initial
spirit of the company, the design has
been refined, for a sleek symbol signifying the future direction for Nissan.
The corporate trademark represents the
global activities of today’s Nissan Motor
Company. It combines the “Nissan”
engraved on the brand symbol with
“Motor Company,” reflecting the company’s status.

The Birth of Datsun
The first DATSON was manufactured in August 1931 by Nissan’s predecessor, DAT Automobile Manufacturing. The name DAT
was formed by combining the first letters of the family names of Kenjiro Den (D), Rokuro Aoyama (A), and Meitaro Takeuchi (T),
the founders of Kaishinsha, the forerunner of DAT Automobile Manufacturing. DATSON thus means the son of DAT.
In 1932, SON was changed to SUN. In the following years, DATSUN played a leading role in supporting Nissan’s growth and
development.
