- MattFid, on 08/20/2008, -1/+361Should have been titled "Some Logos That Exist"
- explodingtree, on 08/20/2008, -1/+192I was seriously hoping for more explanation.
- MonkeyNews, on 08/20/2008, -0/+186Not trying to sound negative, but this this list pretty poorly presented. Hardly any background info on some logos - simply providing "USA Network logo from 2005 to present" is is of little use to anyone.
- evil-doer, on 08/21/2008, -0/+102wtf? what a completely random list, and most dont even have many details. and wtf, usa logo from 05?
this story is utter garbage. - yyymilitia, on 08/20/2008, -2/+90OGC, That was famous right?
- ivansusanin, on 08/21/2008, -0/+74"Here are a bunch of logos."
That's the whole article. - j1ggy, on 08/21/2008, -8/+70Until now I had no idea FedEx had an arrow between the E and the X.
- NathanielJ, on 08/21/2008, -1/+53This is a ***** list, even for digg.
Coming soon: 20 popular websites. Featuring Google, Yahoo, Digg, Facebook and Twitter.
Next up: 20 curse words. Featuring *****, damn, *****, and *****.
Finally: 20 movies with protagonists. Featuring Batman Begins, Terminator 2, Lord of the Rings, Rocky, and Kill Bill. - WootZoot, on 08/21/2008, -3/+47What was the point of this blog...really.
- CannibalFerox, on 08/21/2008, -2/+44Why?
- dontdoitjake, on 08/21/2008, -2/+43Buried as spam. Thats what it is right?
- franklymister, on 08/21/2008, -0/+40I'm not sure I understand the point of this blog posting...
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -0/+40they've rebranded to :DGC
- zephyrnug, on 08/20/2008, -8/+33starbucks should've stuck with their original logo!!!
- P1um, on 08/21/2008, -2/+26Funfact: this article sucks
- mecharabbit, on 08/21/2008, -0/+23Ways to serve shrimp: You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that's about it.
- mecharabbit, on 08/21/2008, -2/+23Pay no attention to the two elitists above, I never noticed it before either.
- maexus, on 08/21/2008, -0/+17Yea, until a few years ago, I never noticed either. It's the type of thing you can't unsee and will see it every time now.
- Asvetic, on 08/21/2008, -0/+16"Some Logos I Saw Today" would also have been acceptable.
- willster580, on 08/21/2008, -0/+14What was the point of this?
- noahgelman, on 08/21/2008, -0/+13And the point of this article is?
- frascellyboy273, on 08/21/2008, -3/+15what the hell is usa network doing in there?
- flarn2006, on 08/21/2008, -0/+12But then people wouldn't be nearly as interested.
- borez, on 08/21/2008, -1/+13Oh look...more
http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&c2coff=1&s ... - Onji, on 08/21/2008, -0/+11Did...did someone get paid for making this list? Look, I can go around and Google 20 companies names and find their logos, organize them in a list, and be done before breakfast. That's not something someone should get paid for.
- actionscripted, on 08/21/2008, -1/+10Both the arrow in FedEx and the (missing) "S" in USA Networks' logo are awesome examples of empty space.
- QsheiK, on 08/21/2008, -0/+9Looking at the comments, this site must be some blog site that's in Europe or something. A lot of them are saying that they've never seen the USA network or AT&T's logos before.
- Exclip, on 08/21/2008, -1/+9What has been seen cannot be unseen.
- borez, on 08/21/2008, -1/+8right
- SciurusIX, on 08/21/2008, -4/+11Digg front page mad lib: List of____famous____that____. I will compile my list of best socks post haste
- Aequus, on 08/21/2008, -6/+13What was the point of this? I could turn off AdBlock and see "20 Famous Logos" at any time.
- peterjmag, on 08/21/2008, -3/+9This should just be a list of all the logos Paul Rand designed. They're ALL iconic.
http://images.google.com/images?q=paul%20rand&ie=U ... - Tenoq, on 08/21/2008, -3/+9US-centric too. I think most people outside the US would struggle to recognise the AT&T world symbol... unlike the Nike or Chanel designs.
And your ABC one is rather boring. The Australia one is probably one of our most recognised logos locally:

http://digg.com/design/Some_Logos_That_Exist - Zaetha, on 08/21/2008, -1/+6FTA: "The (Starbucks) logo is an image of a “twin-tailed siren”. "
*looks at her hands*
Is she... spreading them? - ngmcs8203, on 08/21/2008, -0/+5Woofers, your designer mispoke:
"If you put a lower-case “x” to the right of a capital “E” (Ex) you can begin to see a hint of an arrow, though it is clumsy and extremely abstract. I thought that, if I could develop this concept of an “arrow” it could be promoted as a symbol for speed and precision, both FedEx communicative attributes. And, by the way, different kinds of arrows were utilized with some of the other semi-final candidates, though none of those were “hidden.”
Once I decided to refine the concept of the embedded arrow, I found that, to make the arrow more legitimate and identifiable, one needed to actually reconstruct the letterforms in order to make the arrow happen. This leads to your next question:
Did you have to manipulate the font in anyway to create a perfect arrow?
Yes, indeed. I was studying Univers 67 (Bold Condensed) and Futura Bold, both wonderful faces. But each had its potential limitations downstream in application to thousands of FedEx media, from waybills and embroidered courier caps to FedEx.com and massive signage for aircraft, buildings and vehicles. Moreover, neither was particularly suited to forcing an arrow into its assigned parking place without torturing the beautifully crafted letterforms of the respective faces. To avoid getting too technical here, suffice it to say I took the best characteristics of both and combined them into unique and proprietary letterforms that included both ligatures (connected letters) and a higher “x-height,” or increased size of the lower-case letters relative to the capital letters. I worked these features around until the arrow seemed quite natural in shape and location." - Lindon Leader - hinmanj, on 08/21/2008, -0/+5Who the hell dugg this? A bunch of logos that we've all already seen tons of times. great. Buried.
- actionscripted, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4You know what? Just bevel the thing and add a drop-shadow and shut the ***** up. Next time I'm paying my nephew to do this -- he's good with computers.
- rhinitus, on 08/21/2008, -1/+5Seriously...choosing the USA logo over...oh, I don't know, just about any other simple logo is a waste of space. I would even pick the MTV logo over the USA logo. Not that it's a ***** logo or anything, but it doesn't really have as much power from a branding standpoint.
- AltEfFour, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4Protip: Don't waste your time with this article.
- al3xman, on 08/21/2008, -1/+5If there is Audi, where is BMW? Mercedes-Benz?
- gingervergo, on 08/21/2008, -1/+5where the hell is the olympic logo?
- HonoredMule, on 08/21/2008, -0/+4Funny, I've already seen them all.
At least there's the interesting commentary.
...well there's some facts, or dates at least...
buried - cadmiumpaint, on 08/21/2008, -1/+4crappy list. you can get better background info on wikipedia.
half the stuff on there is barely accurate. buried. - mecharabbit, on 08/21/2008, -0/+3Crooked E, no less. Just like Enron, but a bit less evil.
But I'm looking at my Dell right now and it doesn't have a backwards E. Did they change the logo at some point? - Lucifugerising, on 08/21/2008, -2/+5So now were digging product placement?
- britblogger, on 08/21/2008, -1/+4say Lego Logo ten times really fast.
- inactive, on 08/21/2008, -0/+3It's not a must see, it was lame as hell.
- DjOverEZ, on 08/21/2008, -2/+5Everyone knows that the US is the only country that matters.
- devoss, on 08/21/2008, -1/+4Incorrect. Both the E and the x in that typeface had to be modified to create the arrow.
