The British Airways airline logo consists of the brand name written in uppercase sans-serif letters in dark blue and a graphic element in the form of a red curved ribbon, with its reverse side in blue with a smooth gradient transition (white in the light version). The logo was introduced in 1997 as part of a major rebranding, during which the company updated its visual identity, moving away from the previous flag design in favor of a minimalist, dynamic look. In the following years, the logo retained its overall appearance, undergoing only minor adjustments to its color palette and element proportions.

British Airways is the flag carrier of the United Kingdom, founded in 1974 through the merger of British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) and British European Airways (BEA). The headquarters is located in Waterside, near London Heathrow Airport. The airline is part of the International Airlines Group (IAG) and one of the founding members of the Oneworld alliance. The company operates hundreds of flights worldwide, maintaining its status as one of Europe’s largest international carriers.

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.

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.

FedEx in “Cast Away” — not a dime spent on advertising

FedEx became part of the storyline in the cult film “Cast Away” (2000) starring Tom Hanks, without spending a dollar on advertising. 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.

Coca-Cola is the most recognizable logo in the world

The Coca-Cola logo is often called the most recognizable in the world. Research by Nielsen, Interbrand and YouGov shows that people across the globe instantly recognize the signature Spencerian lettering. This visual style has been used since the late 19th century, and over the decades it has become part of global culture: the brand is present in more than 200 countries, and its logo is considered one of the key icons of world marketing.

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.
