  9. One company that has a symmetrical logo would ne Toyoto! It has an oval shape which is symmetrical in a few ways. It also has a mini oval inside of the main oval. The mini oval is in the middle of the big oval so if cut down the middle both sides would be the same. Lastly, There is an arc going across the top. It goes all the way across the top and is even so that if cut in half both sides would be the same. All together the whole logo has line, flip, translational, and maybe a few more types of symmetry.
