Logos and branding live in our world from the moment we wake up and see a logo on our alarm clocks, continuing as we drive a brand of car to work and in our offices and homes. Companies spend inordinate amounts of money making sure consumers identify with their logo and brand.
This certainly is not news. While looking into creating a logo for a client, I came across a great article on www.time.com, “These Are the 10 Oldest Logos in the World” By THOMAS C. FROHLICH and ALEXANDER KENT on June 20, 2014. The authors write,

Happy pondering!
Special thanks to THOMAS C. FROHLICH and ALEXANDER KENT and time.com for the great story.
