8. The original Starbucks logo was the image of a “twin-tailed mermaid”, or siren. Greek
mythology has it that sirens lured sailors to shipwreck off the coast of an island in the
South Pacific, also sometime referred to as Starbuck Island5.Mar 23, 2016
The Starbucks logo is actually neither a siren or a mermaid but a combination of
the two. In mythology, this is called a Melusine. She is described often as being more
serpentine than fish on her bottom half. Reason that this figure was chosen with two
tails and not one was probably just an aesthetic design choice.
The logo of one of the most popular brands of coffee is known all over the world, is a
crowned goddess-like figure who resembles a mermaid. Starbucks strangely calls her a
Siren. ... The logo also resembles a goddess from history named Astarte.
Starbuck was the name of the first-mate of the whale-ship Pequod, the ship in Moby
Dick. The background of the Starbucks Coffee founders would seem enough to suggest
a connection to this literary classic. The company was started by three Seattle men,
Gordon Bowker, Jerry Baldwin, and Zev Siegl.Jun 17, 2015D.D.S 98

23. The Golden Arches are the symbol of McDonald's, the global fast food restaurant chain. Originally, real
arches were part of the restaurant design.
The McDonald's logo is symbolic of the arches that were the substance of the newly-constructed
architecture of the first franchised restaurant in 1952. After Ray Kroc took over the business in 1961, he
incorporated the two arches to form the new McDonald's logo that looked like the letter “M”.
However, when McDonald's spoke to Louis Cheskin, a design consultant and psychologist, he urged the
company to keep the current logo of the golden arches with a rounded M. Why? Because according to
Cheskin, the logo, when flipped upside down, was a Freudian symbol of nourishing breasts.
The colour yellow is associated with happiness and is the most visible color in daylight, so that's why
a McDonald's logo is so easy to spot on a crowded road. The brain processes colour before it processes
words or shapes, so that's why the fast-food chain chose these two colours for their logo and brand.

42. The logotype consisted of the initials
and a lowercased word “ubercab” below.
The typeface chosen for the “U” and “C”
was a solid sans-serif one. The letters
were given in red. The shapes of both
the letters were identical, so the “C”
actually looked like the “U” rotated 90
degrees in clockwise direction.
Shortly after, the word “cab”
disappeared from both the name of the
company and its logo. This was certainly
a change for the better, as the emblem
grew sleeker and cleaner.
D.D.S 42
43. 2012 was the year of a major logo redesign. The new logotype looked
nothing like its predecessor. Its visual center, the icon, featured the letter
“U” with both the upper ends bent inside. It was placed in a rectangular
shape.
The wordmark was also modified. The letter “U” looked unusual, but it was
different from the one used for the icon. Here, the left end of the letter was
bent outside and was longer than the right end. All the other letters were
given in an absolutely regular, clean, sans-serif all-cap type. The two
colours dominating the logotype were silver (or silvery white) and a grayish
shade of blue.
At first, only the Uber symbol was modified, while the website and the app
looked pretty much the same. However, in 2013, their interfaces were also
altered. Now, grey was the king. The page was dominated by the
monochromatic harmony. An eye-catching, light shade of blue was used as
an accent color for a couple most important details. The sharp black-and-
white design with blue (or, in some cases, yellow) accents was featured in
the Uber app, too, although the pictures were different.
The colour scheme was used until 2015, when it was replaced by a natural
one. Although the design lost much of its sleek appeal, it started to look
friendlier and warmer. The same light shade of blue was still used as an
accent colour to put an emphasis on the most important parts of the page
(like the “Sign in” button, for instance).
D.D.S 43
44. The rider icon is circular, white the driver icon is hexagonal. The
icons are placed inside a square shape that is supposed to
symbolize a bit. Both the colour schemes and the patterns vary
depending on the region. For instance, China’s colour palette is
dominated by red, the India’s one is dominated by turquoise, while
those who use the app in the US will see a dark teal logo.
The 2016 wordmark is bolder and tighter than its predecessor, so the name
of the company is now readable even on small screens. Probably the most
distinctive feature of the previous wordmark, the little curl on the “U”, has
disappeared.
Some of the unique features of the updated typeface are the inner curves on
the bottom halves of the letters “B”, “E”, and “R”. In fact, they look the
same as in the previous version, yet they have become more visible
because of the bolder typeface. Also, the corners of the three last letters are
rounded (or even elliptical), while the previous typeface had straight angles
at the same places.
D.D.S 44
45. Instead of the steely-looking palette, which included black,
white, and blue, the designer team developed 65 local
colour palettes for different countries in which Uber
operates. Due to this innovation, the company’s employees
have received more freedom in crafting messages for their
own regions. The standard icons comprise white and two
shades of blue (the rider’s icon) or a combination of white,
brown, and orange (the driver’s icon).

46. Ride-hailing company Uber has a new logo—and it requires an explanation. In short, it's inspired by
the “bit” and the “atom,” both building blocks of technology and the world, Uber explains on its
newly redesigned website.
The wordmark in Uber's new logo uses a custom typeface called “Uber Move.” It's supposed to echo
similar sans serif fonts used for transportation signage around the world, according to AdWeek, and
also saves the company from paying licensing fees.
Uber changed their Logo because consumers weren't regularly connecting it with Uber, the company
told AdWeek. ... That's why Uber has done away with the logo it unveiled two years ago in favor of a
new wordmark version that simply uses the company's name. Uber has also redesigned its mobile
app.
The typeface, according to Adweek, was custom-made for Uber, and has been named Uber Move.
The new "Uber" logo will also replace the old symbol that used to show up on the first page of your
iPhone. It'll read simply "Uber," rather than showcasing the formerly harsh white circle against a
dark background.
D.D.S 46
47. Uber's tagline has also changed, from "Everyone's
private driver" to "Get there." "Uber started out as
everyone's private driver. Today we aspire to make
transportation as reliable as running water, everywhere
and for everyone," Kalanick wrote in the blog post.
