The original logos of famous companies
Check out how these famous brands have altered their logos — for better or for worse — since they originally opened their doors. AT&T: first and last Bell Telephone Company designed the original logo in 1900. In 1964 the "AT&T" of Bell Telephone Company became the dominate element of the corporate identity. Eventually dropping the Bell all together in 1970, the latest AT&T logo was released in 2005. |
