Chanel Logo Design and History

The House of Chanel, more commonly known as Chanel, is a Parisian fashion house in France founded by Gabrielle Bonheur "Coco" Chanel. Chanel is famous for its line of perfumes, clothing and fashion accessories. The Chanel logo is an overlapping double 'C' - one facing forward and the other facing backward.

This comes from the name Coco Chanel."Coco" is the nickname frequently used by Chanel founder, Gabrielle Chanel. The logo was not trademarked until during the first openings of Chanel stores.

Harley Davidson Logo Design and History

The history of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle began in Milwaukee in 1903. The Harley Davidson logo is certainly one of the most famous logos in the world and the fans of Harley take pride in the bikes. The logo is popularly referred to as the "Bar and Shield" logo. I have been unable to find much information on the origins of the design of this logo. Once I do find some information, I will update this page.

Harley-Davidson also licenses its logo, which is a profitable side business ($41 million of revenue in 2004, or almost 5% of net income. So the next time you purchase a Harley Davidson belt buckle, pen or sticker, part of that would go to the Harley Davidson company. Also, every Harley-Davidson dealership has a shop logo, a design that says something about the dealership and which sets it apart from every other dealership in the world. The next time you drive past a Harley store, look for its store logo too.

Paris Hilton to play Mother Teresa?

I recently read in the news that Paris Hilton may be chosen to play the role of Mother Teresa in an upcoming movie role. Its the funniest thing that I have heard in a long time. What was even funnier was the justification for choosing her. Apparently the fact that she refused to pose for Playboy Magazine impressed the director. The fact that there are videos of her floating around was not an issue for the director. Maybe he viewed them as the tapes that showed her acting talent.

Well, thanks to our Miss "Social Service" Universe and Miss "Social Service" World contentants, Mother Teresa must be turning in her grave. With this new annoucement, I think she will come back to life.

Tibbs Frankie

For a lot of us who have grown up in Mumbai, the mention of the word "Frankie" probably evokes a lot of memories. Going to Shivaji Park and eating a Mutton Frankie was part of my life growing up in Mumbai. Tibbs Frankie was probably available only in Mumbai and this time, I was pleasantly surprised to see a Tibbs Frankie Stall at FoodWorld on MG Road in Bangalore.

So what is the Tibbs Frankie?
