Logo Histories' Research Archive Issue 19
Today, in Issue 19 of Logo Histories’ Research Archive we have elements from RCA by Lippincott & Margulies, the identity created by Allan Fleming for Canadian National Railway and Banks & Miles 1972 typeface for the Post Office.
Research Archive is a look at some of the materials I’ve picked up to write Logo Histories. If you’d like to support this project and access our Logo Histories archive which now includes nearly 100 stories of logo design of the past (Free previews) as well as receiving new stories straight to you inbox, click the button below and upgrade to paid.

Next week on Logo Histories
Last week on Logo Histories, I shared the story of the symbol of the Sapporo Winter Olympics designed by Kazumasa. Next week, I’ll cover the 1969 corporate identity programme of Coca-cola, which sought to formalise its visual assets and establish some ‘Basic Standards’. Don’t miss out on this and an archive of nearly 100 other Logo Histories.
