I’m delighted to share that Logo Histories is now in the Top 5 of Design newsletters on Substack thanks to the support of our paid subscribers. Documenting Logo Histories is a resource intensive mission and I’m glad that we’re able able to pay the Logo Histories team, however, to keep going into 2023, to source more research materials, I’d like to reach out to you, our free subscriber, and ask if you’ll consider supporting us? Below I’ve added some quick links to free articles (a few from our archive over 60!) so you can get a feel for what you can expect each week.
There are lot of surprising insights, and we believe that this level of historical context will certainly improve the way you look at your own design practice. For those simply curious about design history, there’s some fascinating details behind some great logos. Upgrade below or keep scrolling for our Quick Links.
