When creativity and technology blend together, they give birth to a masterwork which speaks for itself. Logos are meant to glorify the significance of a company and distinguish them among others. But they sometimes lead organization to controversies, which are big enough to lead the company into ruins. It’s a kind of advertisement in which the more controversial you are the more notorious you get.
Some brands even started a logo design contest to get their brand identities developed. Here are the fascinating stories behind the billion dollar brands and their logo designs.
1. Apple
One of the world’s leading brands, Apple was founded by Steve jobs and his partners in 1976. Apple’s icon is a bitten apple and is rumored that it signifies the forbidden fruit symbolically an apple. Furthermore the eating of this fruit by Adam and Eve in the Eden was a not good deed. That led Adam and Eve to be banished from heaven.
2. Starbucks
This is an interesting fact that I’m sure most of you might not know. Starbucks have taken its green lady symbol’s inspiration from a siren of Greek mythology. Sirens are dangerous creatures in mythology, which used to trap sailors by attracting them with their beauty and then killed them.
3. Versace
Vanity and promiscuity will ruin you! You may have come across to this notion before. But here a horrifying fact about Versace, its old logo portrays a woman personified as Medusa. She is said to be a taboo in history. In short Medusa was a lusty lady and had gone so far in this melody. She is said to be punished by Athena for her sins. But still Versace has its own side of story.
4. Comedy Central
You may have seen this logo but take a look at it again. You can find a ‘C’ within a ‘C’. This is so cleverly made symbol. Comedy Central logos were never so interesting previously, but this time they have shown their creativity.
5. London 2012 Olympics
Olympics logo has fallen to controversy once again but this time it’s critical than before. The ‘2012’ you can observe in the upper part of the picture somehow gives a glimpse of an obscene and objectionable act being performed. Moreover, Iran also objected London 2012 Olympics Logo to spell out ‘Zion’.
