Comfortable Oreo Day! No, I did not actually realise this was a factor both. However I am delighted I’ve discovered about it as a result of it is led me to a good looking graphic design second, filled with retro pleasure that superbly charts design throughout the many years.
It seems the Oreo emblem has been round since 1912, and since then has taken on some gorgeous logos that encapsulate the design of the time. Although right now the emblem is sort of minimal and, dare I say, bland (definitely not one in every of our greatest emblem picks) that hasn’t at all times been the case. A few of the previous ones have been fabulous. Stand by as I present you some logos (virtually) as scrumptious because the cookies themselves.
