Toyota T37 logo?

[voltron]

So what is it? My brother says its a styliezed Toyota logo. He speaks/reads Japanese and its pretty obvious to him. Americans seem to discribe it as T37, is that just because it looks like that?
Here is an example on ebay of what I am talking about:

Take a look at the TORC logo at the top of the screen. See that T37... same thing as what is on that patch. I've got a bunch of them. You'll see that T37 on lot's of older Toyota items, including parts. Why? Here's a simplized explanation - not too technical: Well, it's not exactly a 'stylized' logo. That's how you write Toyota in with Japanese Script (using Katakana). It is the traditional way of writing Toyota. The Japanese way.
Toyota@=@ƒgƒˆƒ^@@
Breaks down to this...@
to = ƒg
yo = ƒ‡
ta = ƒ^
(If you have your Encoding set to read Japanese characters, you'll be able to see the previous writing as it is meant to be seen, otherwise it will look like gibberish).

Looks like gibberish. But thanks! That confirms what my brother was reading and clears it all up thank you.
