I wasn’t sure if this should go in Cafe Society or MPSIMS. Flipped a coin.

This is a site where you can design logos or have a logo designed for you. One of the blogs had this to offer. [Past and future famous logos.](http://stocklogos.com/topic/past-and-future-famous-logos)

The Starbucks and Gap ones cracked me up. Yeup, logos cracked me up. I don’t know what that says about me.

The same thing it says about me for also laughing at Apple, Nokia, and Firefox.

Microsoft is actually probably accurate, but the rest that haven’t been mentioned don’t make sense to me. Though I think Xerox’s is close to making sense (and is rather cool).

I think it’s a joke on the “end of the world” hype. Hence the dark globe in the next one.

I liked the LG one for some reason.

I always wondered what became of GoldStar! I never knew they became LG.
