With the great evolution of the logo, Starbucks finally came up with putting their name on the logo, which worked brilliantly. Today, Starbucks is known as the most popular cafe across the world.
For every question or query, Google is on! Over the Internet, Google has the most significant name and function. Being the biggest search engine across the world, Google features tons of business tools, software and calendars.
The company has a revenue of $65 billion but when you see the logo, it's extremely simple and casual.
Although Google did experiment with various things and creativity on its logo, at last, it came back to its primary colorful GOOGLE logo.
