Which car manufacturer’s emblem is a winged arrow?

The story behind the answer

Škoda uses a winged arrow as its emblem. The symbol shows an arrow inside a circular field, with a stylized wing extending behind it, and it has represented Škoda Auto since the early twentieth century.

The emblem was registered in 1926, after Škoda became involved in automobile production. Its exact designer has not been firmly established, although historical accounts connect the concept with an earlier Native American-head motif used by the company. The winged arrow was chosen as a more practical and distinctive mark.

The symbol is sometimes mistaken for a bird or a simple arrow, but the official design combines an arrowhead, a wing, and a circular frame. Škoda Auto is based in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic, and became part of the Volkswagen Group in 1991.
