EVOLUTION IN LOGO- TOP20 COMPANIES IN THE WORLD

Image
Logo Evolution 01.  Apple It is one of the biggest consumer electronics and Software Company, best known for products like Macintosh, iPod and iphone. Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne had together setup Apple in 1976, to sell their hand-built computer Apple I. They had offered their product to HP first but were declined by them. I think HP would still be regretting this today. The road to success wasn’t easy for Apple, and Wayne liquidated his share in the company for a mere $ 800. After the launch of Apple II in 1977, things started to look up for Apple and we all know what heights the company has reached since then. Apple II was successful mainly because it had colored graphics. Great and simple design, has always been the USP (Unique Selling Proposition) for Apple, and their logo is no exception. When Apple was started, the logo was a complicated picture of Isaac Newton sitting under a tree. This had been designed by Jobs and Wayne, with the inscription: “Newton … A

A radically different kind of venture fund Our hands-on teams work with portfolio companies full-time on design, recruiting,  marketing, and engineering. Start-up Lab is a dedicated facility and educational program where companies can meet, learn, work, and share. We invest hundreds of millions of dollars each year in entrepreneurs with a healthy disregard for the impossible INVESTING RULES Before I became a VC in 2009, I was an active angel investor for about ten years. During that time, I got exposed to the age old debate about the relative importance of team, market and product when making an investment decision. People always argued about these things (and probably always will). Some say the most important factor is market because team and product can always change, but if the market and the tailwinds are big enough, a company can make many mistakes and thrive. Others argue for team because a great team in a mediocre market will change markets. St

Is no place safe from ads? Just when you thought you'd seen it all, brothers Jordan and Bryan Silverman have turned the male penchant for bathroom reading into a new business. Their venture,  Star Toilet Paper , places ads and coupons on toilet paper rolls. Of course, the "Ah-ha!" moment happened in the can when Jordan was a philosophy major at the University of Michigan. "I found myself sitting in the bathroom in the library, bored reading my phone," Jordan Silverman, 22,  tells CNBC.com. WATCH THE VIDEO -WITHOUT FAIL "It's a place where people have nothing else to do but read," Jordan says. A typical mobile phone ad is seen between two and five seconds. "While advertisements in the bathroom are seen between one and 10 minutes,"  he adds. Businesses pay the brothers to put ads on the TP—which comes from wholesalers such as Georgia-Pacific. Jordan Silverman believes their business is the only one of i

Bill Gates wishes technology to reach the poor

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has appealed to the Islamic world not to make same mistakes as the West by making technology out of reach of the poor. “As you focus on advanced technology, I want to exhort you to do something that in the West was largely neglected, and that is to keep in mind not just the needs for those who are well off and can easily afford the first generation of the technology but keep in mind over time, how, by making it low cost, it can also be of benefit for the poorest,” he told a conference in Abu Dhabi. His remarks are likely to raise eyebrows among Microsoft’s customers. Mr Gates helped to grow the US company into one of the world’s biggest technology businesses by charging considerable sums for its Windows software, and recently ruffled feathers with a series of hefty price rises. Speaking to an audience full of sheikhs and princes, he also called for a more business-like approach to charitable donations, focusing on return on investment o
