Bye bye!

Well, my mission is done. I have posted over 75 different logo history groupings showing logos evolving in certain industries. What have I learned? Logos evolve. They start as something intricate and detailed. My favorite example is Ford. Ford started out with a black oval with detailed white swirling around the edges. The inside read "Ford Motor CO. Detroit, Michigan". Now it's just a blue oval with the word Ford in it. Other logos have changed more drastically though. Logos now for big companies don't have words. They have an symbol based logo that sticks in your brain so that whenever you look at a green and yellow circle you think BP. Is this form of advertising moral? Who's to say? But I think it's interesting to see. Thanks for looking at my blog.

Ladies and gentlemen, starting on Sunday, Logo Histories will be in it's eighth week. Though this is not a landmark number, I feel like it deserves celebration! This image might help you realize what this week will be about. There will be nine posts this week, as supposed to seven.

Logo Challenge

Here is that special challenge thing!
Look at this image. It's the alphabet, but the letters are made out of logos. No I no absolutely no one looks at this blog, but try and guess what company each letter is from. I'll give you an example. In this image, the "j" is for jetblue. Comment with your guesses non-existent fans!
