When it comes to logos, are you a believer in evolution or, perhaps, intelligent design? Just as people change and technology develops, corporations evolve over time. Companies often adapt their logos to stay in touch with their clients, but too much change can alienate their audience and change their brand identities.

Let’s take a step back in time and take a look at the evolution of some logos we all know and love.
