It's supposed to be wings, and an M and a V. Don't forget the circle....
Here's what the company's website says about it:

"Capturing the spirit of Mazda, the stylized "M" evokes an image of wings in flight and symbolises Etude's flight towards the futue. The "V" in the centre of the "M" spreads out like an opening fan, representing the creativity, vitality, flexibility and passion that is Mazda. The symbol as a whole expresses the sharp, solid feeling that Mazda will be seeking in all of its products. The dynamic circle symbolises our readiless to spread our wings as we enter the 21st century."

Could be an M. But it's a very flat M. I think it's some kind of over-simplified Rorscharch design. Could just be me, though?

It's a "flying M" - looks like an M (for Mazda) and a bird. Mazda's fly.

Better than the Mazda diamond thing they had before this. I wonder what bs story they had behind that. I like the flying "M" a lot.

The mazda emblem actually originated around 1705, when a poor potato farmer's daughter fell in love with the Mad Monk of Madison. Maryann Macklebee was 14 and he was 38. The family agreed to a wedding if the Mad Monk had a pewter family crest screwed into his forehead. This would provide a symbolic testimonial to his love and dedication, while warding off aggressive young tarts from nearby villages. He agreed and soon Marcus, the Mad Monk of Madison married Maryann Mucklebee, daughter of Millie and Mathew Mucklebee.

During their honeymoon, Marcus discovered the pewter emblem reacted oddly to the biochemical characteristics of flesh.
