I love how these logos often still reflect the initial small scale business, a Yamaha motorbike still features a trio of tuning forks for music. A Mitsubishi... anything.... has the three propellor blades of a Zero fighter plane. I made that second one up but apparently it's three Oak Leaves or Water Caltrops, a simple and enduring symbol.
Mitsubishi literally means “three diamonds”

East-Asian megacorps are kind of on a different scale if you're not used to it though
There’s a reason that popular Cyberpunk looked to Japan for inspiration when it comes to end stage capitalism in a digitally connected world.
The assumption was that these Japanese style megacorps would segregate and dominate the internet, in the way we’ve mostly seen tech-bro startups manage.
Honestly I prefer the cruel indifference of the Cyberpunk musings on megacorp dystopia than what we’ve got.
They also do the vocals! Smh how could you forget Hatsune Miku?
