There are multiple forms of a winged-wheel mark, but the Indianapolis Motor Speewday's version of the winged/wheel logo is one of the most recognizable. They also have a version that incorporates race flags. Both can be seen on their homepage: http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/ There are multiple forms of a winged-wheel mark, but the Indianapolis Motor Speewday's version of the winged/wheel logo is one of the most recognizable.

Something I recently wondered also. The Res Wings "winged wheel" logo is said to be a few items cobbled together - a bird, a business logo, etc - but may actually be linked the old Russian/Soviet Railroad, as the officer's pin was similarly a winged wheel.

Lamborghini uses a bull but it is not winged. I know of no company past or present that uses a winged bull.

In 1933 , the Detroit Falcons were bought by James Norris. Norris had been a member of the Montreal AAA club way back in the early years of the 20th century. They were also known as the Winged Wheelers and sported a winged wheel on their sweaters. Norris adopted the winged wheel emblem, the red colours and changed the name of the team to the Red Wings.
Mercury's winged foot appears in the Goodyear logo. Mercury was the Roman god of travelers and thieves, known for his speed and agility.
Montreal's Amature Athletics Association, the MAAA, used the logo in the mid 19th century for their cycling club. Subsequently the logo was used for the Montreal Hockey Club which formed out of members of the MAAA. A lesser known fact is that the winged wheel logo was used for the MAA swim team as well. One of it's former players , James Norris, of Montreal Quebec supplants the "winged wheel" logo and moniker on the Detroit hockey team in 1932. The finacialy strapped team struggled under different names and owners before Canadian Jack Adams and Norris took control. Norris an astute businessman modified the original upright wing design and changed the name to "the Red Wings". However, too many parralels may be drawn between the Montreal and Detroit hockey clubs that had the MAA filed a claim it would have been actionable at that time. Since it's introduction into the public psyche and popular culture the "winged wheel" has been used by the American military, Girl Scouts, as well as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
