Mitsubishi Electric, part of Mitsubishi Group, announced a few years ago that they will give up on the mobile phone business and they did because it brought them more losses than earnings. The company tried to set the limit for
Japanese market only but there was, unfortunately, no more options for big sales.
The company’s logo was designed by Iwasaki and he used the logo of his family which contained 3 diamonds and the logo of the Tosa clan represented by 3 united oak’s leafs. After this, in 1875 Iwasaki named the company Mitsubishi, which means “Three diamonds”. Since that all the expanded companies in the group had the same name.
The logo in the final form has been registered in 1914 and it still stands proud today among the greatest names of corporate giants around the world.
