What is that logo for Acura's cars? I was talking with some friends the other day; one said that it was just an "A" while another said it was actually some sort of engineering tool.
So doesa anyone know for sure? Please provide a link of evidence as well.

The Acura emblem is a caliper fashioned into an A with a circle surrounding it. A caliper is a device used to measure the distance between two symmetrically opposing sides. A caliper can be as simple as a compass with inward or outward-facing points.

The new Acura logo maintains its signature caliper design but features a more circular outer ring and sharper three-dimensional appearance. A new color -- Acura Blue -- will be adopted for all future applications of the logo and the Acura brand name, replacing the current red Acura mark.

caliper and the word acura stems from a japanese word meaning precision.

Check carefully - the "A" doesn't close at the top and is actually an "H" for Honda - clever huh?
