Windows 8 Logo

One of the most recognized logos in the modern world and certainly the most recognized logo in the tech industry has recently undergone a pretty major over haul. It is the Microsoft Windows logo. In a huge marketing campaign, Microsoft has re-branded many of its products to a newer, flatter logo that matches the style of the new Windows 8 operating System.

The same basic elements of the old logo still exist and have almost always included the red, green, blue, and yellow shapes that abstractly represent a real window (this is known as skeumorphism in design terms). Much like its biggest competitor, Apple, the two companies have always taken a more literal approach with their logos and have chosen to represent their brands with real objects rather than an abstract concept which has become more popular today in the tech industry.

Disney Logo

The Walt Disney Company is arguably one of the most successful companies of all time. The company is named after the founder, Walt Disney, but the name has become so familiar that most people rarely think of the name Disney has a family name rather than an entertainment company. Walt Disney has been so instrumental to the success of American Hollywood that he actually has two stars dedicated to him on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Walt Disney Logo

To show you how successful the company has been – if you would have put $1,000 into the Disney stock in 1978, today it would be worth over $3 Million!!! Too bad my parents didn’t set that up for me!

Folks from all over the world come to visit the Disney theme parks and stay at the Disney resorts. The company pulled in revenues over $40 Billion in 2012 which is quite hard to comprehend. More

Qdoba Logo

Qdoba (pronounced q-doba) is a mexican fast-casual restaurant owned by Jack In The Box. There are several large competitors in this specific industry including Chipotle Mexican grill who is owned by fast food giant, McDonald’s. They offer Mexican style cuisine including burritos, quesadillas, Mexican gumbo, and tacos. The company was first opened in Denver Colorado and in it’s first year it brought in revenues over $1.5 million!

The logo itself conveys a fun and informal message by use of a paint brush like trade mark. The cactus logo is a reference to the typical desert-like, cactus studded terrain of the country of Mexico. The words Mexican Grill are written in all caps and are much more formal than the Qdoba trade mark. Most likely this is to convey the message that the restaurant is a level above a fast-food restaurant and it is suitable for more formal would-be patrons. More
