Kinda like your profile picture on Facebook that you always update and change to the best photo that you got. Companies spend a lot of time and money on planning and putting up the best logo for their company. Some didn't change a lot, but these sure did.

This is really interesting. P&G actually went a lot of changes in terms of logo design. This is the very first one, followed by the half moon and star design which gathered a lot of controversy.
Nestle

Pepsi

The first Pepsi logo looks a bit like the new coke logo.

Adidas

That first logo is really descriptive.

So, Twitter was initially slime.
Nokia

The Starbucks lady is more conservative now than before.
