Volvo emblem is the symbol for the male.

Anyone ever notice the Volvo emblem is the symbol for a male. The circle with the arrow pointing to the upper right. I wondered why this was so I looked into it.
The web site says, "Volvo is Latin and means "I roll". The Volvo circle-and-arrow trademark was created to represent strength, taking its graphic shape from the traditional alchemist's symbol for iron ore.

The symbol has been modified since then I guess.
