The 3M logo of the American technology company is rendered as a red typographic sign in which the number 3 and the letter M touch at the edges and merge into a single monogram. Both elements are set in a bold sans-serif style and built from broad shapes with solid fills. In the basic version, only the “3M” sign is used, while the expanded version includes the corporate tagline “Science. Applied to Life.” beside it. The current red version was established in 1978, when the company replaced its earlier blue logo with the red sign that became its main corporate mark. The name 3M grew out of the historic name Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, which over time was shortened to the brief form that became the company’s standalone brand.

3M is an American company founded in Minnesota in 1902 as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company and officially renamed 3M Company in 2002. Over that time, it evolved from a mining business into one of the world’s best-known technology manufacturers. Today, 3M is known for solutions in adhesives, abrasives, tapes, films, electrical and industrial systems, personal protective equipment, and everyday consumer products. The company’s portfolio includes such well-known brands as Scotch, Post-it, Command, Scotch-Brite, Filtrete, and Meguiar’s. 3M operates across many industries and focuses on applied technologies and products for industry, construction, transport, electronics, and everyday life.

The Nike logo only cost $35

The Nike logo — the famous “Swoosh” — was designed in 1971 by design student Carolyn Davidson. She received only $35 for her work. Co-founder Phil Knight admitted that he didn’t particularly like the logo, but that he would “get used to it over time.” Later, when Nike became a successful brand, Carolyn received a gold ring with the logo and company shares in gratitude, which made her a millionaire.

Mercedes-Benz: a drawing from a postcard

Gottlieb Daimler drew a three-pointed star on a postcard for his wife, writing that it would one day shine over every engine and factory he built. After his death, his sons turned this symbol into a logo. The three points represent the company’s ambition to succeed on land, sea, and air. A four-pointed version was also patented, but the three-pointed one was chosen for its stronger visual impact. Since then, the core of the logo has remained unchanged.

The world’s first automatic electric kettle

Before 1955, you had to watch the boiling water yourself — look away for a second, and it would spill over. Russell Hobbs solved this problem by releasing the K1 — the world’s first electric kettle with automatic shut-off. The new product quickly conquered British kitchens and then the entire world. What seemed like a simple innovation became a true household revolution and marked the beginning of the smart appliance era no one had even dreamed of.

How did the McDonald’s logo come about?

The legendary “Golden Arches” of McDonald’s were not originally a logo, but part of the restaurant design in the 1950s — the curved structures on either side of the buildings caught the attention of passersby. In 1962, designer Jim Schindler saw potential in them and joined the arches into the shape of an “M”. This iconic emblem was born and is now recognized by millions worldwide as a symbol of fast and affordable food.

The company provided props, uniforms, and logistical expertise to create a realistic image of a delivery service. In return, it gained worldwide recognition — the FedEx logo became a symbol of reliability, and the brand is firmly associated with the story of survival and returning home.
