nice idea.
Microsoft had tonnes more logos though didn't they? I'm sure I remember a blue one. It'd be interesting to see the evolution of the windows logo too. And google's original logo was just colored text - there's more info on google's logos here: http://www.google.com/customlogos.html scroll down to the bottom to see their *reeally* old logos! -

This brings me to mind when I was in the first levels of design school, they told us to study the IBM logo (the last one) as one of the best logos ever designed, because of its simplicity and, as the article says "the solid letters with horizontal stripes to suggest "speed and dynamism"". The horizontal stripes also widen from left to right (or viceversa, can't remember) to emphatyze that.

I think you need to clarify the Firefox entry a little. The actual Firefox logo we all know and love today was a combination of work by Daniel Burka, Stephen Desroches & John Hicks.
From John's journal entry about it;
"The final chosen design was a concept from Daniel Burka and sketched by Stephen Desroches, which I then rendered using Fireworks MX."
http://www.hicksdesign.co.uk/journal/branding-firefoxAlthough it was Steven Garrity who invited John to work on the Mozilla branding team I don't think he can be credited for the actual logo itself.

There was an early version of the striped IBM logo with 13 instead of 8 stripes. Although eight became the standard, the 13-stripe version appeared on many IBM products in the seventies.

Dear Xerox,
Your old logo was fine. Whoever told you you should change it probably has shares in whatever printing company you jobbed out the changeover to.

Wow, I really hope Palm stops changing logos. 3 logos in 3 years does them no good for branding.
I've personally always wondered about the "o" in the Microsoft logo. It's so subtle but it really defines that logo I think.
The new Xerox logo sucks. The sphere looks horribly disproportioned. One of my favorites here (and favorites of all time) is the Firefox logo.
Thanks for the article!

Microsoft briefly had the best logo ever:
http://www.digibarn.com/collections/manuals/microsoft-basic80/Image76. jpg
I have seen it on Xenix manuals and in Creative Computing ads and know they had it in 1980, and I believe 1979 and 1981, but I don't know for sure...

The rumour concerning Northern Telecom changing the name to "Nortel" is that they wanted to comply with Quebec French language laws.
Northern Telecom is obviously English, however, Nortel could be either English, French, or neither.

This article feels incomplete, I find it to be a decent introduction to the topic. Nonetheless, thank you.
I agree with commenter Vako, logo design simplification denotes recognizability.
The FedEx logo is the closest to perfection I have seen, from all the modern ones:

Furthermore, I kinda like the new spherical Xerox logo, but was unaware that Xerox used to be "Haloid"! *Which reminds me of Montyoums Haloid movie (worth seeing) foremost:

I'm pretty sure the c1972 IBM logo, which is the same one used now and is known internally as the 'eight bar logo' was also designed to reflect the company's evolution in the computer age. The eight bars represent 8 bits.

I miss the old pixellated Xerox logo. It was simple, distinctive, and represents exactly where Xerox is in the business world. I never understood the, "we're not a printer/copy company" line. That would like Microsoft saying, "we aren't an operating system company." Microsoft does do other things (I loves me XBox), but they're an OS company.
I've never liked the IBM logo. Design authorities who say that the negative space bands imply speed and dynamism are ignoring what the lines actually look like: scan line gaps in an ancient text-only monitor. When I think of a dated logo, the first one that comes to mind is IBM's.

I think you've misunderstood the word "backronym". "LG" would be a simple acronym - a backronym is where a word is chosen and then the letters it stands for is shoehorned into it. For example, the "USA PATRIOT act" is a backronym for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act". It's clear that the title "USA PATRIOT" was chosen well before they picked the words for which it would stand, hence a backronym.

Notice how the trend to simplify branding goes hand in hand with the downward spiral of the average Americans IQ?
Keep it shiny, simple, and whenever possible, just use initials, cause you wouldn't want them to have to remember FULL words - that's all the last few generations can handle.

The Palm history is not quite correct - PalmSource (the software spin-off) was not bought back by Palm. Instead, Palm bought the rights to the Palm brand and the Palm OS software from PalmSource. PalmSource was instead bought by Access, a Japanese company that made a web browser for mobile devices.

Wow, thanks for the response, guys! Let me address a few points:
@php captcha: those are fan-made logos, right? I believe the one listed above is the original version made by Sergey.
@Aaron Bassett (and Jacob Morse by email): thank you for the clarification. I've updated the post.
@Ilari Sani: Thank you - I didn't know that, but I think 13 or 8 stripes are almost the same thing when it comes to Big Blue's logo. I wouldn't even notice if you didn't bring it up.
@Kris: can't do all companies, the article is long enough as it is. I almost included AT&T, but we've covered that before on Neatorama.
@anon and luma: LG is not an acronym, because it doesn't stand for anything. But you guys are right about it also not being a backronym. Fixed.
@Plus: did you find the hidden arrow in the FedEx logo?
@Anzo: The lak hui bit is from LG itself.

Regarding Nortel, you missed a few steps and made a small error: Northern Telecom became Nortel in 1995 (not Nortel Networks), then became Nortel Bay Networks for a few months after it bought Bay Networks in 1998, then became Nortel Networks, and is now, since 2004, Nortel.
None of this helped it in when the dot.com bubble burst, thought... :-/

The Nokia logo dont impress me much. I bought the Nokia 6265i last year ( may 2007 ) and since then I had to return the phone for repair because the stupid phone bugged while powering on and could not be turned off... and today it did the very same thing.
I didn't knew much about Nokia before but now you can bet that I wont buy another of their phones anytime soon.
The LG bit scares me a little...

There was at least one other corporate logo between 1975 and the blibbett logo. The "best ever" logo that Chris mentions was the Microsoft Consumer Products logo. MCP was a short-lived division of Microsoft created in 1979 and responsible for creating/marketing products through retail.

About the word Nokia:
Noki means "soot" in finnish.
"a" as suffix means passive plural in this case, wich can not be used in case of "soot".
If we play with words a little bit, nokia could be understood as "soots" in finnish. "There is soots in the chimney!".
The animal "Soopeli" (Martes zibellina) wich is called "nokinäätä" in Finland or has been called possibly "nois" centuries ago, could be the origin of the word Nokia. It is questionable that these animals have ever lived in Finland, so it is more probable that the word "nois" is used to mean beavers. So if the word Nokia has ever meaned anything, it has probably meaned "Beavers". Just imagine a map with a little town printed "BEAVERS" on it...In modern finnish Nokia or Nois does not mean anything.
If we want to make Nokia mean something, then we must change Nokia to Nokea, wich is the partitive case of the word "Soot". In dialect this can be pronounced Nokia. Is there any Nokia in your chimney?Do you think I'm bored in the office...
Yes.

I love logos and I'm very fun, I spend hours every day looking into them...I only
wanna make you see something in the Microsoft logo "because this logo was payed so
muche" and I don't find it funny this so-called "Pac-Man Logo" story with no sens,
I don't think that this talented designer "Scott Baker" has sold this funny Pac-
Man to Microsoft
The slash on the ‘O’ of Microsoft logo is the half part of a triangle "simple 2D
presentation of a micro pyramide " the ultime symbole of the Illuminati secret
society "also present on the one dollr bille as the great seal of the united
states of america". see the logo of Microsoft and find it by your self
exemple of logos with the same triangle "pyramide" : CAT ERRPILLAR, SEB, Marlboro,
BASS, AOL, Airwalk, FEMA seal, Fidelity, Suunto...

That's not at all true. Steve Wozniak is responsible for building every early Apple computer. Steve Jobs just went out and sold them. Jobs has never been a tech person. He's basically just a salesman.

amazing that Canon's 1956 logo has not only lasted until today, but still looks so fresh and so good: http://www.canon.com/
always thought that cut in current microsoft is so ill...
Nortel's 1976 logo arguably looks more futuristic and "warp records" than their current version.
Palm just LOOKS like a cheap brand.
I thought Xerox went out of business? i guess the brand just exchanged hands and hoping for a re-birth...
but i think there is a big ass book which deals with this subject exclusively... forget what it's called though. would be nice to have around for sure.

The post above about tapering stripes in the IBM logo isn't right, but it's close.
The stripes (aside from bringing "speed and dynamism") were in part Paul Rand's solution to a design problem.
The three letters I-B-M vary a lot in width, from left to right, and without the stripes, the logo looks unbalanced--too heavy on the right side. The stripes emphasize the I, because of the big serifs at top and bottom, and lighten the M, because the white areas remove some of its bulk. Very clever.

An Ex-Nortel Guy

On Nortel:
They went from "Northern Telecom" to "Nortel" initially, but were (as I heard the story) threatened with a lawsuit by a company called Ortel (a fiber optics company later acquired by Lucent--another subject for logo historians). So they added the "Networks" to the logo. This happened a few years before the Bay Networks (nee Synoptics) acquisition. Then sometime in the last few years, they went back to Nortel.
Not part of the logo story, but in the mid-90's there was often confusion when reading tech headlines that referred to "NT"--Nortel's stock symbol but more widely known as Microsoft's then-latest OS.

The Windows logo is an interesting story, too bad it's not mentioned here. I have seen it published that The I was the designer of the second windows logo the infamous digital flag. There was a previous version prior to 1990 by Art Director John Fortune but it was very different and involved a graduated fade from top to bottom inside a grid of 4 squares. This version always 'flooded' on press and a new design was commissioned in 1991 which is still the same one they use now withouot the black bars around the Green, Blue, Yellow and Red colors (PMS G 369, B 279, Y 123, R 172).

Actually, in 1995, Northern Telecom simply became Nortel, celebrating 100 years in business. It didn't change to Northern Telecom until 1998, around the same time they acquired Bay Networks.
I remember it, too. My dad was a mechanical engineer at one of the Santa Clara offices at the time.

This is great! Interesting facts indeed- the evolution of consumerism! Logos, logos, logos... all this emphasis on differentiation, but in my opinion a classic logo would attract more attention in the midst of all the modern ones. How interesting wouldn't Apple's (first) logo seem if put together with IBM and Microsoft's blocky text? It'll come back. Just like the skinny jeans and platform-heels, and (screaming silently); the mullet.
Anyways, I'm loving this. I've bookmarked it, so if ya ever find any more facts... don't hesitate to put it up

Actually, it doesn’t. Nokia is a town in Finland.
I should know, being a native finnish speaker.Good article though, would have been better without disinformation with no facts to back it up.''
forgot your history classes? nokia used to mean a place where you can buy these weasel skins. and yes, i am finnish too.

When I was asked to update the CBS Network logo in the 80's, I went through the very same due diligence. When I presented to CBS, I only updated the typeface. The eye remained the way it had been since William Goldman designed it. I worked with Lou Dorfsman for many years as an outside consultant. If you look in the index of his book, Dorfsman on CBS, I'm very proud to say you'll find my name there, along with my ex-partner, Stefan Gerber, and Bob Klein, a pioneer in broadcast advertising and promotion, who was my partner at Klein &. Stefan and I formed another pioneering entertainment agency, Jacobs & Gerber,Inc.

The company's logo is always part of the branding of the company.
With these examples, it reflects the growth and changes that the company goes through over time. Perfect example is IBM. And Canon, who would ever thought their name used to Kwanon?

Seeing old logos of companies here is interesting, but not really fully complete. I am
leading a new venture that I think readers of Neatorama might be interested in. The
site launched recently on Monday September 14, 2009, and has been
featured on TechCrunch (see:
http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/09/27/from-the-tc50-demopit-trademarkia -tm-simplifies-trademark-search/)
and more than 3000 blogs in the past two weeks.Trademarkia (www.trademarkia.com) has built the first and largest library of 5.7 million
logos, names, and slogans anywhere on the Internet by leveraging public information. There are a lot more old logos to see on Trademarkia. -

Wow that was an awesome post! I love how the Google logo really hasn't changed all that much but looks so good now!
However, I think the Palm Pilot people just have kept to the second logo! -
