The Sirius logo accroding to the Sirius website has its origins in the astronomy and mythology. Sirius is the brightest star in the Northern Hemisphere which is a great name given the company is in satellite radio. Also, it was named after the ancient Egyptian god Osirus, who was represented pictographically as a dog. Thats the reason, the dog and the star are part of the logo and Sirius is also referred to as the Dog Star.

AutoRickshaw
 |
An auto rickshaw (auto or rickshaw or tempo or tuk-tuk in popular parlance) is a vehicle for hire that is one of the chief modes of transport in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and is popular in many other countries. It is a motorized version of the traditional rickshaw, a small two- or three-wheeled cart pulled by a person, and the velotaxi. A small number of auto rickshaws and tuk-tuks can be seen on the streets of China Town in London, although used mainly by tourists and not the local population. The auto rickshaw is also related to its Thai, Lao, Cambodian cousins, the tuk-tuk and the Bajaj in Indonesia, whereas in Brighton, England auto rickshaws are called tuctucs. |

In 1933, the original company Precision Optical Instruments lab, named their new camera Kwanon, after the Buddhist God of Mercy. The original logo shown below included the image of Kwanon with 1,000 arms and flames. Once the company found success and a world-wide market, they had to come up with a universally acceptable name.
