The cool animation at the top of the page over-sells what this site is providing by a factor of 1000. I was expecting some type of neat morphing between various logos over time.

I think the page author is trying to show the current logo and the oldest logo, including going back to when companies were known by different names (a few of them are like that anyway).

If that's the case, the early Uber logo is incorrect. Originally known as UberCab, it's logo looked like this: https://2q72xc49mze8bkcog2f01nlh-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-...

You can see how what the page lists as the original logo is derived directly from the UberCab one.

I agree this only showing some random old version is not very exciting, evolution would be more like this:

Which is very interesting for traditional companies. The gradual changes over decades tell a story of changing company size, globalization, technologies and cultures.

Its interesting how Volkswagen was a modified swastika, yet their current logo pays homage to their old one in shape. Honestly if I was them I would have gone an entirely different direction.

It's funny... I posted something similar yesterday that (IMO) is much more informative but didn't get any attention: http://www.sketchdeck.com/blog/less-is-more-our-analysis-of-...

Must be the fun animations that sell this.
