I completely missed that one... brilliant!

LOL! Great catch aadi! I totally missed that one!

Now I can't believe that the Volkswagen logo (which Hitler had a heavy hand in popularizing as "car of the people" roughly translated) of 1939 is correct....or is it? I mean, you remove the inner two rungs or "blades" of the "F"-like fans protruding from the axis (no pun...alright, yeah, pun intended) and you'd have a logo that looks wildly similar to the swastika?!?

I'm missing the joke aren't I?

This is a great collection of old and future logos- leaning towards the minimalistic. :) I didn't even know about the oldest apple logo. To see a similar post check out our blog critiquing the logos of 2012 presidential hopefuls: http://openbox9.com/2011/09/16/design-for-presidential-hopefuls/
