Logos


The first thing that comes to my mind when seeing this logo is the Battlefield game series. Digital Illusions CE (abbreviated to DICE) is a video game company now owned by EA. The company was founded in 1992 in Sweden and their original logo was very different (it was red and had a spiral in the middle and "dice" written at the bottom) They developed a few games and Electronic Arts took an interest into them. They published Battlefield 1942 and it's sequels which were big successes. They slowly purchased parts of the company throughout the years until 2006 when they fully acquired DICE and the new DICE logo reflects the modern and sleek games they create these days. I connect to it because I love their games.




The first thing that comes to my mind when seeing this logo is Twitter and the insane amount of news and useless information you can find on it. Twitter is a social networking company based in San Francisco founded in 2006. They slowly grew in popularity and it's use spiked when major world or entertainment events were taking place. As of September 2013 the company's data showed that 200 million users send over 400 million tweets daily. Their logo is a bird which fits with the name of the posts that you write on Twitter ("tweets"). It's a simple and good looking logo that is now known throughout the world, and I connect to it from personal use (also I like the color blue).

The first thing that comes to my mind is the amount of time that I've spent watching videos on YouTube. YouTube was founded in 2005 as a video sharing website and the company is currently based in San Bruno, California. The website was and still is a huge success, with users uploading and watching an incredible amount of footage. They were acquired by Google in 2006. The newest YouTube logo, a "play" button, has been simplified to look like the logos of the Google line of services and products. I connect with it because of the amount of time I've spent on the website, though their recent decisions and policy changes have been quite frustrating (sorry Google!).
