Good work, Nikhil! It’s really useful to be reminded of how major brand logos have developed in design-terms, yet retained their core symbolism and essence (even though their products have evolved). Keep this sort of presentation coming!
nice compilation nikhil,
In my opinion instead of posting these kind of collective posts. Post some tutorials or your opinions on designs. It will attract more people to comment and view your blog . it will make you interesting also.

Great posting. Do you know of anywhere where you can download hi-res old logos. Most companies' websites remove all sign of the old logo the second the rebrand has finished.
It is really interesting how the logos change over time.
Thankyou Nikhil! It's great to see how logos evolve over time to stay fresh and yet still retain their key concept . A very interesting article as im going to update my website logo soon it gives me some inspiration.
Great post, I believe graphic design in destiny in all aspects of our lives. Hence my disappointment with Dan Patrick's recent change. Check this out: http://sasoc.wordpress.com/2010/03/16/dan-ruins-h…
