Do you ever wonder how different life would be if you had been named something different? When it comes to branding, the right name can make or break the outcome of a company’s trajectory.

    Interesting to see which logos got better with time, as opposed to say AOL and tinder. That tinder logo is some lazy BS. Also where is that god awful Yahoo logo their idiot CEO designed? That sure didn’t last long.
