The first logo in the world
The first logo in the world was an image of a dog listening to a gramophone. The dog's name was Nipper.
One of the brothers of the Barro family saw how the dog loved to listen to the Edison-Bell phonograph and decided to capture this moment by drawing a picture “A dog listening to a phonograph.”
In 1900, Marc Barrot's brother, Francis, took Nipper's drawing to a disc gramophone company. The owners of the company really liked the drawing and decided to produce their product with this image. But the original version of the drawing, which depicted a drum gramophone, was replaced with a disk one. The drawing became the first trademark of the companies: “HMV music stores”, RCA, “Victor and HMV records”. The company also began releasing records with Nipper's designs.
The logo currently uses the music channel of the HWV store.
The evolution of global brand logos
Logos of global brands have not always looked stylish and laconic. Some companies, even being popular among consumers, have redrawn their logos. Main reasons:
- change in direction of activity;
- following new trends.
Let's look at a few examples of the evolution of company logos.
- Global Apple Corporation
The company's first logo was an engraving of Isaac Newton under an apple tree, which was surrounded by a large ribbon with the signature "Apple Computer Co" (1976-1977). The designer of this logo was one of the founders of the company, Ronald Wayne. After Ronald left, the logo was changed.
The second Apple logo was made by designer Rob Yanov. Nothing remains of the company’s old logo, except, perhaps, the idea of a fruit falling on Newton’s head. The new Apple logo is a rainbow bitten apple (1977-1998).
The logo that we see now on Apple products was changed in 2007. The “apple” became metallic with reflections, but the shape remained the same.
- Samsung
Samsung means “three stars” in Korean. The company was established in South Korea. The first three logos used stars and the Samsung name.
In 1993, the company decided to create a new logo for its 55th anniversary. It exists to this day. This is a blue ellipse in the center of which “SAMSUNG” is written in white stylized letters.
- Twix bars
The first bars were produced in 1967 in Britain. They were called Raider. But a few years later, in 1979, the name was changed. Raider became Twix. After changing the name, products began to be exported to the USA.
The name Twix is made up of two words, “double” and “biscuit”. Twix bars are very popular all over the world. In Ireland they are still sold under the original name Raider.
- Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola has the most recognizable form style a logo that is over 117 years old. The company was founded in 1886 and its logo in 1893. The company logo is written in “Spencer” calligraphy font. It was created by Frank Robinson, an accountant and friend of the company owner.
In the early 1980s, due to competition from Pepsi products, it was decided to change the company's logo to New Coke. Having done this marketing ploy, the company began to lose sales. Consumers did not like the new name of the drink. After some time, the drink was returned to its former name Coca-Cola, thereby improving its sales.
- Pepsi
In 1903 it was created trademark Pepsi-Cola. Agree, the company’s first logo is not very pretty. You could say it was a failure.
To prevent this from happening to your brand, you need to turn to a team of professionals at KOLORO, who will help make the logo perfect.
After the Great Depression of the 1930s, Pepsi-Cola was able to prove to Coca-Cola that it could compete on the same level.
In 1962, the company changed its logo to a three-color ball and also removed the Cola prefix. Now it is called only Pepsi. However, the company logo changes very often. What this is connected with is unknown.
- McDonald's
In 1940, McDonald's was created. The company's first logo is an image of a Speedee chef . Later the Speedee logo was redrawn. In the 60s, Jim Spindler changed the company logo to the one we know today. And this is the letter M.

Jaguar- whose emblem was originally SS - Swallow Sidecar. In English, “swallow” means “swallow”. After the Second World War, most Europeans had negative associations with the SS emblem (association with fascists), so the company owners decided to change the name of the brand.

Logo trends 2017
Minimalism
Many companies resort to this style, because minimalism is simplicity and conciseness. Minimalism uses very little color ranges. Everything should be simple and executed in the same style, without unnecessary additions.
For example, the well-known application Instagram used this style.
The company's first logo was a black and white image of a Polaroid OneStep camera. In May 2016, the company decided to rebrand not only the logo, but also change the design of the application. Now it's a camera and a rainbow made with a gradient effect.
Gradient colors
Creating a logo with a gradient of colors is a very good move for many companies, because this trend will be at the peak of popularity for a long time. A striking example is the international payment system MasterCard. The company's designers simplified the design and used geometric fills for the logo.
Black and white trend
Black and white design will always be in trend. Laconicism and simplicity of two colors is always a win-win option.
The best example is worldwide famous brand Nike.
Carolyn Davidson helped create the logo for the brand. The logo features an abstract wing of the goddess Nike.
Geometric figures
To create a unique but at the same time simple logo, designers use geometric shapes that are very easy to perceive and remember.
Example - logo YouTube - a service that provides video hosting services. The brand logo is a “bubble” in the middle of which there is a “play” icon.

Quite a simple style. Letters are selected specifically for a specific name or text and are used only once.
