Swiss branch Mini within the limits of celebrating of the fiftieth anniversary of the car has started the art project "Wash Me".
Art project MINI
The idea of the project was born thanks to passion of children and simply cheerful citizens to write on dirty cars any different expressions concerning necessity of a trip on a car wash. And consequently Mini it has been decided to soil highly artistically.
Ten artists have been involved in the project and designers who have decorated cult cars how they wanted. To go by such cars, certainly, it will not turn out — the review became too small. But they will be organised in an anniversary exhibition, and also the book "Mini Wash Me" in which photos of the turned out works of art and how over them worked are presented is published.
All ingenious — is simple. The short histories of an origin of names of world famous automobile brands collected in this material once again confirm this law of a life.
Audi Audi it is translated from Latin as «listen!». It is the Latin version of a surname of the founder of the company.
BMW BMW it is deciphered as Bayerische Motoren Werke. The English version - Bavarian Motor Works.
Daewoo Company Kim Woo Chong founder named the company modestly, "the Big Universe" so it is translated from the Korean.
FIAT The company has been based in 1899. FIAT is a reduction from Fabbrica Italiana Automobili Torino. Besides, it is possible to translate this abbreviation from Latin as the independent word often used in church use — «yes will be».
Honda Founder name — Soichiro Honda.
Hyundai Hyundai, it is translated with Korean, as "present".
Mitsubishi Company Yataro Iwasaki founder in 1870 has thought up. With Japanese mitsu it is translated, as "three", and hishi — "brilliant". The letter "b" has appeared the sixth not because of an error in a writing and because Japanese, "h" in the middle of a word say the letter as "b". As to a logo, that, contrary to the developed opinion, it is primary, instead of the name.
Nissan It is earlier known, as Nippon Sangio, that "the Japanese industry" means.
Subaru By name of constellations of the Galaxy which in Greek also carried the name "Seven sisters". And here is how time "Seven sisters" on-japonski "Subaru". It is literally translated as "to unite in a single whole". The Galaxy constellation is displayed on a company logo.
Toyota By name founder Sakichi Toyoda. In a consequence it is changed to more harmonious Toyota. On-japonski consisted of 8 letters (happy number in east culture).
In 1930 in Japan Goro Yoshida and stepbrother Saburo Uchida have created the company from nothing name Precision Optical Instruments Laboratory speaking to us in Japan. Four years after workings out have led to creation of their first camera which they named Kwanon, in honour of a Buddhist deity of mercy. All one thousand hands was not located on a logo, but how many could — so much and have found room. Have added tongues of flame and have received more soon a picture from ancient books, rather than a logo.
The company has registered weight of words which were similar on sounding with Кwanon for protection of the trade mark. One of them — already known to us Canon — as a result has replaced the original name. To an existing logo of technics Canon already more than 50 years, and the logo looks to this day is modern.
Company IBM history has begun owing to the confused and long-term association of the most different companies — ITR, CSC, CTR.
In 1924 of shift at last have come to the end, and again opened company was called — International Business Machines. In the late forties IBM at last it was switched to the basic now an activity kind — on computers (before they were engaged even in devices for meat cutting). And to commemoration so sweeping changes IBM has presented a new logo — extremely simple and clear. Unlike that enchanting spectacle which at them was before.
Last serious change with a logo has happened in 1972 — "for transfer of speed and dynamism" monolithic letters have ruled and have painted in blue colour.
First cameras Kodak have appeared in 1888. The campaign slogan sounded so: "You press the button, we do the rest".
In far 1900 Kodak were one of the first who has tried to integrate a name and an image of the company into a symbol. In 30th years in a logo have appeared habitual yellow and red colour. In 60th years in a logo there were corners and rotundities from which, later 10 years — have refused. Throughout 1971-2006 the logo essentially did not vary. And in 2006 logo have simplified, having given to a logo more modern kind.
Initially it were two separate organisations: cosmetic company Lucky Chemical Industrial (since 1947) and radio-electronic factory GoldStar (since 1958). After merge the company has received name Lucky Goldstar, and in 1995 has replaced a signboard on LG Electronics. Today LG — the huge South Korean conglomerate including such companies as LG Chemicals, LG Telecom, and even baseball command LG Twins.
All companies are guided by the motto: «Life is Good».
Company Motorola — who could think! — there are 80 years.
From the beginning of 30th years she was engaged in release of phones for cars, and 50 years later was switched to commercial manufacture of mobile phones.
The name of the company which not that other as the word "motor" united with a suffix popular at that time "-ola", was written by a curly cursive is primary, and the letter "M" has appeared in 1955. Informing the company management has declared change of the trade mark, that "two triangular peaks directed up form an arch in the form of abstract M, symbolising progressive tendencies of company Motorola".
In 2002 the companies not engaged in the goods or services for children still could have here such logos, as this fantastic birdie (though they and now appear). Dave Hyatt and Blake Ross have created free web browser Phoenix. Which they have there and then renamed in Firebird and have there and then renamed in Mozilla Firefox.
In 2003 of children with letters John Hicks from Hicksdesign, the interface designer suffering from terrible creative enthusiasm hardly probable has not filled up. Through any time Mozilla has invited him to make the new sketch and has received the well-known logo which, speak, even from space it is visible.
Flourish Nike, being hardly probable not most recognised sign in the world, has thought up the student of Portlend University Caroline Davidson in 1971. To the student have paid for a logo of 35 dollars, even at the account of the prices of those years it is insignificant money. The design of a logo almost has not undergone changes for 37 years — has exchanged only inscription Nike, and now and has at all disappeared.
In 1865 Knut Fredrik Idestam has organised in the southwest of Finland cellulose factory. Agree, very strange beginning for the company known now for mobile phones. The company began to carry name Nokia after has moved on river Nokianvirta coast to city Nokia. By the way, the word "Nokia" in the Finnish language designates dark, very fur animal, something like an ermine. It is interesting, that the trade mark luxury mobile phones Vertu — the second part of the name of the river Nokianvertu.
Company Shell has appeared in 1891 and was engaged in sea transportation of kerosene.
The first logo of the company represented an exact black-and-white reproduction of a bowl of a comb. In the course of time the logo gradually varied according to new trends in graphic design. The modern logo has been created by known designer Raymond Loewy in 1971. Today the logo is so recognised, that is often used without instructions of a name of the company.
