Old logo’s of companies

Logos are an essential part of a brand’s identity. A great logo encapsulates the personality and promise of the business behind it.

Some of the world’s most ubiquitous logos had humble beginnings. In 1975, Carolyn Davidson was paid $35 to develop the Nike logo and the “Swoosh” we’ve come to recognize has remained more or less intact for nearly forty years.

Pepsi paid the Arnell Group $1 million to develop its updated logo in 2008. There are companies who’ve paid tens of millions for logo design.

Apple

The first Apple logo, unveiled in 1976,

That’s Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree, in case you’re wondering. It was designed back in 1976 and featured a phrase around the border which read “Newton…A mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought…alone”. That complicated premise was designed by Ronald Wayne, a founder of Apple, who relinquished his 10 percent stock in the company as an $800 payment for his logo. He left the company two weeks into his tenure.

The first Apple logo, drawn by Ronald Wayne, depicts Isaac Newton under an apple tree. Created by Rob Janoff in 1977,when he was approached by Regis McKenna to be his art director, and was tasked to design the logo for Apple Computer. the Apple logo with the rainbow scheme was used from April of that year until August 26, 1999.

Canon

in 1934, two Japanese inventors created a camera under the banner of the Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory. The camera was called the Kwanon, named after the Buddhist Bodhisattva of Mercy.

The logo included Kwanon encircled by flames and sporting a thousand arms. Canon didn’t just change their logo, they also changed the name of their company as well.the new logo and name has become iconic and memorable.

IBM

The first logo appeared in 1889, when the company was called International Time Recording Co. In 1924, the company changed its name International Business Machines, or IBM.

The IBM logo is easily recognized by the distinctive eight stripes that make up the letters IBM. The horizontal stripes are intended to suggest “speed and dynamism.”

IBM was a company known for its employee time-keeping systems, weight scales, meat slicers and punched-card tabulators.

The second logo of IBM was created in 1972, and hasn’t been altered since then.

Firefox

the phoenix that we see on the left was the very first logo, which debuted in 2002. Since then, it has gone through a number of different incarnations to. The phoenix logo never really connected with users, as it was never regarded as being as smooth or as slick as the more modern version.

Netscape Navigator may be largely forgotten today, its inventions like JavaScript and the Gecko web engine power the vast majority of websites online. Phoenix it is!

Mazda

It’s surprising that some of the original logos of companies hardly showed any creativity. Take the original company logo for Mazda — it just tells you the name of the company. This rather simple logo emerged back in 1934, but since then it has gone through various changes. Mazda started to test out the M iconography in 1936, which evolved into the version are all familiar with by 1997.

Ahura Mazda, according to the Ancient History Encyclopedia, “is the creator of the universe and all the things in it, being at the same time wise and good”. 

In 1991, Mazda adopted a corporate symbol which was to represent a sun and a flame standing for heartfelt passion. This is commonly referred to in Mazda enthusiast circles as the “cylon” logo. Shortly after the release of the new symbol, the design was smoothed out to reduce its similarity to Renault’s.

McDonald’s

You might think that you knew everything that there is to know about the McDonalds’s brand. After all, it has one of the most famous of all logos of companies. That large, yellow M stands out from all others, and people instantly recognize it when they see it. However, it hasn’t always been like that.

Founders (and brothers) Richard and Maurice McDonald came up with the golden arches concept, sketching the original version on paper while interviewing architects. Three architects told them the arches were a bad idea. The fourth was willing to make them work.

This logo is the first one for the company, and you will notice that it mentions a barbecue. That’s because between 1940 and 1948, McDonald’s believed that the future was in a barbecue. It was not until later that they decided to switch to focus on hamburgers, after a bit of influence from Ray Kroc, and the rest is history.

On May 4, 1961, McDonald’s first filed for a U.S. trademark on the name “McDonald’s” with the description “Drive-In Restaurant Services”, which continues to be renewed. By September 13, McDonald’s, under the guidance of Ray Kroc, filed for a trademark on a new logo—an overlapping, double-arched “M” symbol.

Kodak

The version on the left was the very first one that they produced in 1907 and it was at a time when they had focused exclusively on print advertising. Since then, they have evolved and developed their business, and their logo has changed as a result. The version on the right is the current model that first appeared in 2006. It has a simple look with a simple font, but it still gets the point across.

The Kodak ‘K’ logo was introduced in 1971. The version seen here – with the ‘Kodak‘ name in a more modern typeface – was used from 1987 until the logo’s discontinuation in 2006. A revised version was reintroduced in 2016.

Lego

LEGO has been entertaining children for decades, and their logo has certainly changed a number of times since its launch. In fact, it has had 26 alterations made to it, which is pretty impressive for such an iconic brand.

The logo that you see was the very first one, and it appeared back in 1935.

This one, which is the current version, has been used since 1998 and appears to be the one that the company has settled on.

Microsoft

Microsoft’s logo at least looked like it belonged to the 20th century.

that the company name was a union of microcomputer and software. The earliest version of the business name was Micro-Soft.

Motorola

In 1930, the Chicago-based Galvin Manufacturing Corporation released the wildly popular Motorola car radio. The name was a mashup of “motor” and “ola,” a popular suffix for sound gear of the time, along the lines of the Victrola.

The new car radio was such a hit that founder Paul Galvin decided to change the company name to Motorola. The company’s product line clearly evolved through the years as well.

Nokia

Knut Fredrik Idestam founded a wood-pulp mill in Finland and took the name of a nearby town. Nokia is also the Finnish word for a dark, furry weasel-like animal. The modern company was born when, in 1967, a merger occurred between Finnish Rubber Works, the Nokia Wood Mill and the Finnish Cable Works.

Xerox

Xerox began in 1906 as the Haloid Company, a manufacturer of photographic paper and equipment. Twenty years later, Chester Carlson, an inventor of a process known as electrophotography, approached the company to see if they would invest in his new technology.

In 1959, the world’s first photocopier was released to the market—the Haloid Xerox 914. The copier was so successful that the company dropped Haloid from its name and never looked back. Well, at least not until the digital age of photography dawned, requiring a complete company overhaul… and of course, a new logo.

Apple Logo History – Everything You Need to Know About the Apple Logo

Evaluation of Apple logo

Apple Inc. is synonymous with high standards of quality, innovative technologies, and for setting the curve on progress in the technology world. The brainchild of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak, Apple has continued to set the norms on excellence with several new high-tech gadgets that, to many, are the only kind of technology they would ever need. And the Apple logo history is another aspect that makes the brand so enigmatic.

1976–1977

Apple-76.png

The first Apple Computer logo, drawn by Ronald Wayne, depicts Isaac Newton under an apple tree. The border reads “Newton – – – A Mind Forever Voyaging Through Strange Seas of Thought – – – Alone.”

However, this logo’s use did not last very long.

1977–present

1977–1998

Apple Rainbow.svg

Created by Rob Janoff, the now-iconic rainbow Apple logo was used from April 1977 until August 26, 1999. According to Steve Jobs, the company’s name was inspired by his visit to an apple farm while on a fruitarian diet. Since the logo’s introduction, the design itself has remained unchanged.

Like any logo, there were a few hiccups along the way. For example, the rainbow logo seemed to work fine on the original beige Apple computer (old-fashioned) version. But, once the new streamlined computer was created more recently, they removed the rainbow logo because it didn’t seem to fit with the more modern look.

One of the deep mysteries to me is our logo, the symbol of lust and knowledge, bitten into, all crossed with the colors of the rainbow in the wrong order. You couldn’t dream a more appropriate logo: lust, knowledge, hope and anarchy.

JEAN-LOUIS GASSÉE

1998–present

In 1998, coinciding with the iMac’s release, Apple made the logo black. This version had previously been used as an alternate variant of the original 1977 logo.

Evolution of the LEGO logo

The red, white, yellow, and black LEGO logo is synonymous with one of the world’s largest toy manufacturers, but it didn’t always look so familiar.

The story began in 1932, when carpenter and joiner Ole Kirk Kristiansen established his business in the village of Billund, Denmark, manufacturing stepladders, ironing boards, stools, and wooden toys. His son Godtfred Kirk Christiansen started working in the business alongside him, aged just 12.

The first product line, 1932.

1934.

In 1934, Ole’s company and its products adopted the name LEGO, an abbreviation of the two Danish words “leg godt,” meaning “play well.” The first company logo was used on correspondence, shipping labels, and other printed materials, but not yet on toys.

This ink stamp “LEGO Fabriken Billund” was first used on wooden toys in 1936.

LEGO’s wooden duck, mid-1930s

The factory had 10 employees by the time this logo iteration was introduced in 1939 or 1940. For the next 10 years it was used extensively on wooden toys, typically in the form of an applied decal.

In 1949, the forerunner to the LEGO brick we know today was launched under the name Automatic Binding Bricks.

Automatic Binding Bricks, 1949.

In 1951, the Binding Bricks name was supplanted by LEGO Mursten (literally LEGO Bricks) because Ole’s son, Godtfred, wanted to establish wider recognition of the LEGO name.

Late 1954.

The first of the oval logos, this appeared on LEGO Mursten catalogues. The company still hadn’t standardised the brand colour, and examples exist in several variations, typically depending on the colour of the catalogue.

1955-1959.

The classic dog bone logo from late 1955 was the first time the logo was standardised in design and colour. It was used across all toys lines and appears widely on both plastic and wooden toys.

The German LEGO logo, 1956.

The current LEGO brick stud-and-tube coupling system was patented in 1958, the same year Ole Kirk Kristiansen passed away and his son Godtfred became head of the company. There were 140 employees in Billund.

1960-1965.

The first of the rectangular/square logos. This and many variants were used worldwide for the next 13 years

1965-1972.

A variation of the 1960 logo that includes the yellow, red, blue, white, and black bars, and was the first to show the registered trademark symbol alongside the LEGO name.

The Weetabix Castle was a promotional set for Weetabix, 1970.

The LEGOLAND range was also launched in 1970.

1973-1998.

This logo appeared in 1973, the same year that LEGO began production and distribution in the US. It represents an attempt to cement a single worldwide logo and remains the most recognisable version of LEGO’s brand identity.

1998 to present.

A subtle refinement (a “graphic tightening” in LEGO’s words) of the 1973 logo for better digital (i.e. internet) reproduction.

In 2000, LEGO was named “Toy of the Century” by both Fortune magazine and the British Association of Toy Retailers, and today the LEGO Group is owned by grandson of the founder, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, the richest person in Denmark.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

  • Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
  • Because it will help you focus your own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

  • Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
  • What topics do you think you’ll write about?
  • Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
  • If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
