I beleive that Yamaha Motor Co was spun out of Yamaha Corp. So they share the same logo because they were once one company.
This is not too unheard of even in the West.
Rolls Royce Motor Cars is owned by BMW but they just bought use of the name.
The old Rolls Royce Motors who used to make the cars was sold to VW (but not the name).
Rolls Royce Holdings Plc., the defence and aerospace firm, actually own the name but don't make cars.
Clear as mud.
- bitwize 2y agoRemember TV Guide? About 20 years back, Macrovision spun off the print magazine but kept the name, logo, and digital-media assets; these changed hands a few more times and are currently a subsidiary of Fandom. Meanwhile the print magazine is currently published by a separate entity, TV Guide Magazine LLC, which licenses the name and logo from the Fandom digital-media company.
