Louis Vuitton 1896 Louis Vuitton

LV monogram appeared in 1896, six years after the founding of the company. Interestingly, this monogram was planned to mark all of the original things Vuitton, as already bags and suitcases began to actively forge.

The main competitor of Pepsi all the years of relentless war quietly watched for throwing red and blue in the area of ​​identity, occasionally drawing subtle restyling its centennial logo.

So they, and color is.



Nike 1971, Caroline Davidson

History, nabivshaya on edge and become painfully familiar. Swoosh Nike, which is perhaps the most recognizable sign in the world, came up with the University of Portland student Caroline Davidson in 1971. She paid him $ 35, even taking into account the prices of those years it - a penny. Logo design is almost not changed in 37 years - only changed the spelling of the brand, and now all disappeared.



BMW 1923

BMW, the myth (and smart marketers) took over several generations, linking the company's logo with the aviation theme. "The German advertising agency in the 1920s created an advertisement that showed a range of BMW in front of the rotating propeller aircraft, and thus reflect the origin of the company as a manufacturer of aircraft engines. And then it turned into a myth, "said Dave Buchko (Dave Buchko), the representative of BMW North America.

By the horse was added yellow background (the official color of Enzo Ferrari's hometown, Modena, Italy), as well as to change the direction of the tail, it began to look up.





Maserati 1914

Inspiration to find a name and logo creation can come from a careful and accurate research among consumers, loopholes in the law or, in some cases, out of sight on the environment. Maserati brothers when creating his trident got inspiration from the statue of Neptune, which stood in the central park of Bologna, where the headquarters of the company. Maserati Trident signed under it was painted by the artist Mario, who was also the only one of seven brothers Maserati, which has never been occupied by the design or manufacture of machinery.

The first time the logo has not been lower strap closing, "leg" of a trident.



Volvo 1924

Volvo name has Latin roots. It means "I roll" and is taken from the name brand balls, which he wore until the moment when it was attached to the Swedish automaker in 1924. As the company's logo was selected antique iron symbol is a circle with an arrow located on a diagonal toward the upper right corner.

Symbol of iron is one of the oldest and most well-known image in Western culture. In the Roman Empire, the sign represented the militant and invincible god Mars, who fought only iron weapons.

The diagonal stripe running across the radiator grille, which was originally performed only as a mounting point for the nameplate, but now it's almost the same brand identity as the symbol.



Johnnie Walker 1908, Tom Brown

It is believed that this is actually a caricature of John Walker, but be that as it may, the figure so like Tom George and his brother Alexander, that since people and stepping on each bottle of whiskey. The only change is the color, and a few decades ago has changed the font.



We deliberately did not take the logos of companies that are less than thirty years. Such as Google, Red Bull and others. Too little time has passed in the history of identity to be able to make any conclusions. Also, we did not take everything the eternal logos of the three business sectors, renowned for its conservatism - high fashion, cars, expensive alcohol. We chose only the most illustrative and interesting.
