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.

How did the McDonald’s logo come about?

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

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.

A little secret of the Ford logo
The Ford logo, with its iconic blue oval and elegant script, was first used in 1907. Here’s a fun fact: the famous handwritten font associated with the brand wasn’t actually created by Henry Ford himself, but by a company designer who simply copied his autograph! So every time you see the Ford logo, you’re looking at the “handwriting” of someone who never imagined it would become so iconic.

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.
