A Few of My Favorite Vintage Logos

My previous employer had a nice collection of vintage advertising annuals – a few specific to logos, published in the early 70’s. These things were great to flip through, and I had taken some time to start scanning in one of the books.

Eventually I realized it was just going to take way too long to do the entire thing, but I did get a good amount of pages in before I quit. This was over a year ago, so I can’t give proper credit to the book title, unfortunately. But here are some of my favorite logos that I pulled out of it.

Since there’s so many to post, hit the jump to view the rest.

    I love how a good logo only needs to be black and white.
