Assuming you meant "xB", the answer is no. THere are Toyota markings on lots of parts (like almost ALL -- it IS a Toyota product, after all!) but the xB don't need no steenkinig Toyota badges! MY xB has one Toyota "badge", though. The dealer put on a "Rochester Ford Toyota" sticker on the left side of the liftgate and I peeled it all off except for a very small and almost invisible Toyota stylized T . . . . It's a LITTLE Toyota!

if you are talking about the last gen of the bB, yes it did have a toyota symbol on it.

and the current bB has one toyota symbol on it in the rear

if you are asking if the bB's had the word 'TOYOTA' badge on them, i don't think so.
it was always the symbol.

How many bB generations have there been? I thought the first one was the same as the xB? It had a Toyota badge because it WAS a Toyota. No Scions in Japan..........

nope...
there was gen 1 bB (different bumpers, rear lic plate is in the bumper. the rear hatch has only the handle to open the door.)
example:

then gen 2 bB/gen 1 scion xB (go look at yours. rear hatch is different than gen 1 bb)


now gen 3 bB:

toyota tried too hard on the bB. The first scion releases were flawless enough to stand un-modded, all while serving as a clean slate for mods. They need not design these vehicles to look modded. Modding is a very personal and unique aspect of the scion community. It's no fun when the car company wants to play mommy and dress you up. Boo.
