Alright, perhaps I jumped the gun. Maybe I let a little vintage cynicism creep in prematurely. It can happen. So in my routine browsing of my favorite sites/blogs I ran across this at The Search Agents and it made me stop and think.

It sure has stood up to the test of time, becoming one of the most iconic logos of the last 40 years. I was intrigued with Steven Heller's story on the logo in Imprint's blog today.
