Logos- the History Behind Some Of Them
A lot of the big company logos out there have their own history to them so I thought it would be a good idea to post some of the best ones.
BK or Burger King
Burger King. The first logo actually featured two big burger buns with Burger King in red lettering in between them both. The logo was replaced in 1999 by a newer logo based on the same idea. The buns have now been turned on their sides and there is now a big blue swirl going through the outside.
Pepsi
The creator of Pepsi was Caleb Bradham which is why when the drink first started out it was known as Brad’s Drink. The drink was made to serve the people at his drug store. The name Pepsi-Cola was used later to define the company. The logo will always follow competiors simply because they are usually ahead of them. There have been many slogans that Pepsi have used over the years, here are just a couple:
The classic: Delicious and Healthful 1909-1939
A Day? Have a Pepsi Day 1975-1978
What Right This Second? Pepsi Now- 1983
Coca-Cola
It is safe to say that Coca-Cola is one of the most recognised brands in the entire world and the logo is easily the same. Officially Coca-Cola is the most popular and biggest selling soft drink in the world and was created in Atlanta by Dr. John S Pemberton a mouthful I know. This drink actually started out as a fountain drink which of course means the syrup was mixed with carbonated water. Many people say that this is still the best way to enjoy Coca-Cola. The logo is rumoured to be red because red has always been the colour of success in the logo world.
Custom logo design is very important for a business in the same way that flyer printing are.
Logos appear on everything from letterheads to compliments slip so they are very important to a company.
