> [@knoodler](#): > > … the worst logo ever. Sherwin-Williams was founded in 1885. The original “Cover the Earth” logo was first seen in 1893, and the company has been using a variant of this design ever since. Care to guess how many times Coca-Cola, Pepsi, or McDonalds have changed THEIR logos, labeling, or marketing slogan since their founding? I would say anything that lasts that long is probably pretty good. _ **-“BB”-** _ ---
