Then and Now: What Ten Corporate Logos Looked Like Back In The Day.
Some of these old-school logos look very different today!
What was this winky chef selling?
McDonald's first logo was a chef named Speedy, not a clown named Ronald.
Whose logo featured a smiling Man in the Moon?
Procter and Gamble's logo was accused of looking satanic, but it's just how people drew the moon back then.
Whose simple bell is this?
The Taco Bell bell was named for founder Glen Bell. It originally featured a sombrero.
That might have been easy, but how about this bell?
AT&T used to be all about telephones, and back then telephones had bells...and cords believe it or not.
Whose topless, spread-eagled mermaid logo is this?
Mermaids used to be less demure back in the 70s. She's still spread-eagled, though...oddly enough.
Which company started out with this intricate logo?
Apple's 1976 logo featured Sir Isaac Newton, his apple and a line from Wordsworth. Yeah. They went to college.
Who would use a peacock as a logo?
Back in 1956, NBC was very proud of it's full-color presentation. As proud as a certain bird.
This one is all business.
Did you know IBM stood for International Business Machines? You did? Oh. That's pretty impressive!
A cursive logo? Must have been the 1800s.
In the late 1800s, General Electric was still known as Edison General Electric Company (as in Thomas Edison).
It changed from 1900 and 1904, but how does it look today?
Shell Oil was born from Marcus Samuel's antique company that sold decorative shells from all over the globe.
