for me : National Geographic logo

Nike

[snowden]

yeah I totally agree Ideamaker. Nike, simple, recognizable in any country, dang, wish I could take credit for that one. I also like the "apple" for MacIntosh. I would like to no the history behind those 2 logos and how the came to be

"Nike"
The company takes its name from the Greek goddess of victory, Nike.
The Nike "Swoosh" is a design created in 1971 by Carolyn Davidson.

(source: http://www.dinesh.com/History_of_Logos/)

"Apple"
The idea of selling a computer under the name and image of a fruit was conceived by Californian Steve Jobs and his colleagues (even the word "Macintosh" is the name of an apple variety). The motif of a multicolored apple with a bite taken out of it is a reference to the Bible story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represents the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge.

Snowden
I have also got very usefull n interesting information about these world famous brands beacause of this thread Isnt it?

[snowden]

that is interesting info about the apple I never even put it together about the name of the "Macintosh Apple" variety, how clever and it makes sense about the tree of knowledge and Eve and the apple. Introducing a product that opens doors to more knowledge.

I had heard something about the Greek goddess of Victory and the Nike connection oddly enough on the today show, Matt Lauer was standing in front of a statue of the Greek goddess of Victory and you could see in the Nike swoosh in folds of the garment of the statue.

very cool and thanks for the info

The best logo of all time for me is Coca-Cola. Simple, yet beautiful.

Yes, FedEx is nice also. I like the "hidden" arrow and the colors are great as well.

[ideamaker]

I would like to enter one more example of logo is "Families"
You can find out this logo at image search engine by entering Families logo word
Just before couple of days I have got this design
This is one of the best design I have ever seen, 3 members family have been shown through the words i, l, & i.

what do u think about it?

[codebirth]

I agree with Nike. Simple but universal.

The apple logo (new one). It is simple, and catchy and I have a feeling that who ever made it got paid way too much
