Logo Graveyard: Jonathan Munk
What happens to the logos of the more than 500,000 businesses that defunct each year? Many end up in the Logo Graveyard. This site is a neat compilation of dozens of now out-of-commission logos. Some of the designs were mercifully euthanized and will not be missed, while other marks ought to receive mourning from graphic designers. Please pay your respects.
Some favorites: DeLorean , Enron, BP Shield Logo, (old) (Here’s the new logo), and PanAm. All have interesting stories and seeing the logos again brings a feeling of nostalgia.
The site also offers a place to comment on the logos. It’s a great peak into some of the most famous logos from past decades that, when you see them, you’ll wonder, “What ever happened to that company?” and may prompt Internet searches on the companies’ undoings.
