Just curious, but am I the only Imgurian out there who hates the Disney logo because I can't get over the D looking like a backwards G?

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

I don't hate it really, but I can't not see it as a backwards G no matter how I try.

Ah yes, the ancient Snapchat logo. Only people born about 3 minutes ago will remember it though.

Don't understand why the old Twitter logo looked slimey.

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Looks like a nasty speck of bird shit, which is very apt symbolism for 99% of twitter's content.

When I was growing up (born in 81 so old as dirt), I thought for DECADES that's what it was. It only clicked when they filled in the rest.

Having Adolf in your company name is probably not the best business strategy, I wonder when they decided to change it...

10 years ago | Likes 77 Dislikes 4

That's why he went by Adi, otherwise it would be "Adolfdas". Bonus: His brother Rudolph founded Puma! Rudolph, however, went by "Bobby"...

Bobby dazzler?

And the Dassler brothers absolutely hated each other. Don't know if there is any beef between the companies or not though...

19th century company that only semi-recently pivoted to telecom. They were originally a paper company, hence weird fish monster.

Weird fish thing is the first thing that I think of when I think about manufacturing paper too.

firefox was originally codenamed "phoenix" since it rose from the ashes of netscape. but it was already trademarked for computers (1/2)

A lot of companies and organisations used the swastika as a logo up until the mid 30s. It used to just be a symbol representing power.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Probably the same reason adidas changed theirs.

It... "kind of looks like a swastika"? Kind of?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Visually it looks like they got rid of the propeller appearance. Maybe it was a product line split?

10 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 2

Propeller? You seriously don't see the swastika?
