About Subaru
Automobile manufacturer
Subaru is the automobile manufacturing division of the Japanese transportation conglomerate Subaru Corporation, which was named Fuji Heavy Industries until 2017. Most Subaru cars with combustion engines above 1,500 cc use a boxer engine layout, and the brand's Symmetrical All Wheel Drive layout was introduced in 1972.
Subaru is the Japanese name for the Pleiades star cluster, which inspired the six-star logo. According to Motor Fan, the one large star represents Fuji Heavy Industries and the five small stars the companies that merged to form it.

Brand heritage
Logo history & brand milestones
One logo record is catalogued. The milestones below are dated separately from it.
Changes to the six-star car emblem and the corporate emblem from 1958 to 2017, as described by Motor Fan; exact rollout dates are given only where the sources state them. Company and product dates are labelled separately from design changes.
Logo milestone · 1958
The six-star emblem appeared on the front of the Subaru 360, the company's first mass-produced passenger car. Its stars were arranged around a near-circular ring after the pattern of the Pleiades as seen from Earth. [1] [3]
Visual identity milestone · 1966
Colour began to fill the ring while the basic design stayed the same: the Subaru 1000, launched in 1966, carried a red emblem, and the Leone of 1971 a blue one. [3]
Logo milestone · 1988
The emblem received its first complete redesign since 1958, with one large star at the upper left and five small stars at the lower right. It appeared on models including the Justy from 1988. [3]
Logo milestone · 2001
The current form of the six-star emblem was first fitted to the later versions of the BE/BH-series Legacy. [3]
Visual identity milestone · 2003
Fuji Heavy Industries replaced its corporate emblem, based on the katakana character fu of Fuji, with a six-star design, and organised its corporate identity around the six stars. [3] [4]
Visual identity milestone · 2017-04-01
Fuji Heavy Industries changed its name to Subaru Corporation, and the corporate emblem took the same blue and silver colours as the emblem on the cars. [2] [3]

Design context
Logo design & typography notes
Motor Fan dates to the mid-1980s a smaller change in which the supports linking the stars were removed and the stars were joined by a black base, as seen on the 1986 Rex.
