The DAF logo is a minimalistic and strict corporate mark: bold uppercase DAF letters in deep blue on a white background, with a thick red horizontal underline. The letter “A” has an open top, adding dynamism and a modern touch to the design. This version of the logo was introduced in 1989 and has remained unchanged since. The name DAF is an abbreviation of Van Doorne’s Aanhangwagen Fabriek, which means “Van Doorne’s Trailer Factory” in Dutch. The original logo featured stylized automotive elements, but over time it was simplified into a clean text-based version focused on recognition and industrial utility.

DAF is a Dutch truck manufacturer founded in 1928 in Eindhoven by engineer Hub van Doorne. Initially, the company produced trailers and semi-trailers, and in 1949 it began manufacturing trucks. By 1957, DAF had established its own engine production and became one of the first companies to implement turbocharging and intercooling in serial production trucks. Today, DAF is part of the American PACCAR Corporation and offers a broad range of models—from light urban LF to heavy-duty long-haul XF and XG. Its production facilities are located in the Netherlands, Belgium, the UK, Brazil, and Australia. The brand now focuses on electric trucks, environmental standards compliance, and innovation in fuel efficiency and safety.

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.

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.

Interesting fact about the Apple logo

The first Apple logo, depicting Newton under an apple tree, was created in 1976 by company co-founder Ronald Wayne. However, in 1977, the now-famous bitten apple logo appeared, designed by graphic designer Rob Janoff. Rob received about $500 for his work — and no royalties, even though the logo became one of the most recognizable in the world.

Coca-Cola is the most recognizable logo in the world

The Coca-Cola logo is often called the most recognizable in the world.

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.
