Many people are starting out their own companies and wanted a logo for that reason.
There are a very few people which actually know the true meaning of logo and whether it actually is an abbreviation of something.
We often think it’s a word when it’s not actually the case. Though, dictionaries actually say it’s a word when that’s not.
It’s an abbreviation of something that most people aren’t aware of.
So in this post, we’ll talk about what LOGO actually is and how you can get one for your own company.
What Is The Full Form Of Logo In Computer
LOGO in the computer language stands for:
Language Of Graphics Oriented
Some people say this as well:
Logic Oriented Graphic Oriented
Is LOGO A Programming Language?
You might not know this as well, LOGO is a programming language designed by Wally Feurzeig in 1967.
It uses turtle graphics so you can see what you’re writing in the code. Think of it as an interpreter for your code.
You might be wondering how the logos that we create in software’s like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Canva and so on. How on earth they are created with no code.
Well, whatever you create on these software’s in the frontend (can be viewed easily) are actually the code in the backend (is not easy to see).
For example, in the earlier ages we used to create websites with the help of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. With the advent of modern software’s you’ll rarely see people coding to get their preferred designs.
They use UI software’s like Dreamweaver etc without interacting with the code itself. But, the code is still their running in the background.
The History
The history of logo is quite old and started by the ancient families to symbolize what they provide in their shops and pubs at that time.
However, the modern logos started in 1900 alongside with mass printing.
Frank Mason Robinson recognized as the one of the key people who started the journey of modern logo by creating the logo for Coca Cola Company.
Coco Cola logo was one of the first few logos ever made in the history of logo designing.
And the very first logo that ever trademarked is Bass Brewery. It was a very simple logo design with just a red triangle and “BASS” written beneath it.
If you compare that to the modern logos than you’ll soon realized the logo of Bass Brewery is not ancient at all. In fact, it covers most of the aspects of modern design logo like:
- Minimalism
- Typography
- Singular color
- And so on
Wrapping It Up
Now you know what the full form of logo in computer is. It’s better if you actually tell other people which aren’t really aware of this fact.
Educating others will help this fact to stick in your mind so you’ll never see the word logo as you used to see it before.
