What does the Infiniti symbol mean?

Anyone know how the circle with two lines meating in the center have anything to do with the word infiniti? Or is it just a symbol without explenation? Thanks

(As you can see from my question, I am pretty bored. )

Hahaha :hehe:

Looks like you misundestood me

The name "Infiniti" is actually "Infinity"
Just like "Beetles" is actually "Beatles"
get it?

And Infiniti got their logo by tweaking with the Infinity symbol.

Infinity means "endless" or "infinite" if you didin't know

That two straight lines that meet each other, for me it looks like a long straight road that you can't see the end of it. I think that kinda refer to the word infinity.

Yes, Kenny-G, G-Forces and SkylinesKillAll are all on the right track. In illustration applications, it's called the "Vanishing Point" and is used to represent a 3D object with a 2D plane that extend for (until?) infinity.

Not to be a spoil sport, but why does it have to mean anything at all?

Well it doesn't have to...but I'm pretty sure it's the road thing. It makes more sense than the toyota 'cowboy hat' symbol.

Hmm your initials wouldn't happen to be GR would they?
