1: Shield and spear, symbol of roman god of war.

2: Mars (roman name for god of war)

3: mars is a red planet (red like blood)

4: iron turns red when it rusts so they used the symbol of mars, god of war

5: volvo makes ball bearings (name means "I roll" in latin, the language of the romans)

6: ball bearings are typically made of iron or steel so volvo used the symbol of iron for their logo.
