Well Known Logos Then and Now
An interesting blog post that takes a look at how some of the most well known company logos have changed over the years.
Then and now logo comparison
Wow, the first VW logo was a spinning swastika.
It's shocking indeed but not really surprising. Volkswagen was founded under the nazi regime as a state-owned company by Hitler's initiative.
Haha, I actually didn't even notice that on the first look. I saw the spinning prop blades them and BMW were after (though the swastika is another likely design influence)
It was not called Firefox at first, it was phoenix. Hence the logo. They had to rename.
I remember when all this went down
After Phoenix, it also went as Firebird for some time after Firebird database forced them to change to Firefox.
Ah yes, I forgot the second name and was too lazy to look it up. I think it only lasted a few months, too
