We will tell you on this occasion about the history of some of the most famous logos in the world of design. You will surely be surprised to discover curiosities and details about renowned brands such as the following:
Nike
The logo of this company, one of the most recognized worldwide, seeks above all to convey dynamism and movement. Although at first the result did not convince everyone, the company was so urgent in presenting the design that it ended up betting on it as well. The name “Nike” has its origin in the Greek goddess of victory. The image of this goddess was represented by a woman with wings, capable of running fast.
Adidas
The founder of this brand was Adolf Dassler, helped by his brother Rudolf. The shape of its logo was for many years associated with the 3-leaf clover, symbol of the Olympic spirit. In the mid-90s, the flower design was replaced by the three stripes to become one of the most famous logos worldwide.
Its initial name was “The Facebook”. The blue color of the design was chosen because of Zuckerberg’s color blindness. At first one of the designers intended to include a blue hedgehog, since stuffed animals would be given away to strengthen local relationships. As is known by all, the idea of the hedgehog was not successful and they finally opted for a more minimalist design.
The first name for this famous social network was “Twttr”. In the beginning it had a static website and poor graphic resources in terms of composition. The famous blue bird (symbol of freedom and hope) is named Larry the Bird in honor of a well-known Boston Celtics player. We learned about this information thanks to a tweet from one of Twitter’s application managers. Its logo has been changing over the years towards an increasingly simple image, the Larry bird being the main protagonist and identifier.
