The Audi badge the 'Four Rings' is the emblem of one of the oldest car manufacturer in Germany. It symbolizes the 1932 merger of the four independent motor-vehicle manufacturers: Audi, DKW, Horch and Wanderer. Mutually with the NSU brand, which joined in 1969, these companies are the roots of the present-day AUDI AG. After the war the Audi name - which is Latin for "Hear?" - left, but was revived in 1965, using the four rings as a logo. Also, the name is kind of a pun on 'hoerch', German for 'hear', name of one of the founders. The corporation itself is more than a century old. The four rings in the logo include nothing to do with the Olympic rings. The Audi logo is a registered trademark of the Audi Company.
