The connection between the Guinness beer brand and the Book of Records dates back to the early 1950s. Brewery manager Sir Hugh Beaver proposed creating a reference guide to settle record-related disputes that often arose in pubs. In 1955, the first edition of Guinness World Records was published, originally conceived as a promotional project. Over time, the book of records became an independent international brand, no longer legally connected to Guinness beer.

How the Guinness beer brand is connected to the Book of Records

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.

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.

When the perfect domain is taken, eBay is born
The company was originally called Echo Bay Technology Group — named after a picturesque bay near founder Pierre Omidyar’s home. But the domain echobay.com was already taken (by a gold mining company), so Omidyar simply shortened it to ebay.com. That’s how a name that would become a global brand was born — completely by chance, but forever part of e-commerce history.

How Salvador Dalí created the Chupa Chups logo
In 1969, the Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, at the request of Chupa Chups founder Enric Bernat, sketched the idea for the future logo on a newspaper page in less than an hour during a lunch meeting. That was when the famous yellow flower shape with the brand name in the center first appeared. The image proved so successful that it became the basis of the Chupa Chups logo and has remained part of the brand for more than half a century.
