"Subaru" is often mentioned in astro magazines--it's what the Japanese call the Pleiades, and the logo is a representation of Venus passing through the Pleiades.

There's also:

Chevy Nova

well, all Mercury cars, and Saturn too,

Sirius satellite radio
Orion entertainment

Tide detergent (well, tides are caused by the moon)

Toyota Solaria

Sun computers and their Solaris operating system

Universal pictures, maybe?

Ford Taurus
