History
of Logo Design
The history
of logo design and logos dates back to Greece in ancient times. The
word "logo" means a name, symbol or trademark designed for
easy recognition. Logo design history had it's humble beginnings as
a cipher consisting of a single letter, and later a design or mark
consisting of two or more letters intertwined. The cipher may be either
all the letters of a name, the initial letters, or the surname of
a person for use on stationery, business cards, or elsewhere.
Many early Greek
and Roman coins bear the monograms or logos of rulers or
towns. The most famous of these early logos is the sacred
monogram, which is formed by the conjunction of the first
two Greek letters of XR, S, T, O, and S; (Christ), usually
with the A (alpha) and O; (omega) of the Apocalypse on
each side of the coin. The Middle Ages were extremely prolific
in inventing ciphers for ecclesiastical, artistic, and
commercial use.

In the thirteenth century,
logo design evolved from simple ciphers to trademarks for traders
and merchants. These early examples of logo design includes masons
marks, goldsmith's marks, paper maker's watermarks and watermarks
for the nobility. Other related logo devices are the colophons used
for identification by publishers and printers.
 The
emergence of the information age changed the face of logos and logo
design. Today, the general public has become increasingly aware of
visual symbols, especially those used as trademarks. It is important
that the company logo look professional. Company logos are the face
of the business, not only to the public, but to its employees and
the company itself. Logos have become the front line of the company,
the corporate identity.
The mark of a good logo
is legibility and good brand recognition. Because of the diversity
of products and services sold by many businesses today, the need for
new, unique logos is even stronger. Since logos are the foundation
of a company's visual image, first-rate logo design is vital. A professionally
designed logo is a must for anyone who has a business or product that
they want to promote via any medium.
