Nissan Motor Co. is a full-line automobile manufacturer, ranking second in Japan and among the major global automotive companies in terms of annual vehicle production. Nissan’s Infiniti brand represents its luxury automobile offering.
The new logo expresses the concept of the open road traveling toward infinity. It also suggests Mount Fuji, a Japanese icon.

Good stuff. I love the Infiniti logo. Simple, and yet instantly recognizable, and as noted below, it always entailed a lot of meaning in a simple form.

Haven't read the articles yet, but I always thought it was a stylized rendition of a road, "leading to infinity".
