-Many inventions have contributed to the logo
-uses some egyptians hieroglyphics
-as the industrial revolutions continued it helped with the boom of advertisement and logos
-at that time (18th and 19th century) the arts were growing a lot and the story telling and a lot of different brands were coming out
-different types of writings were coming out and it was expanding the audiences
-costs of printing decreased and the literacy rate increased different types of styles came along and business got better in that area
-it was moving from europe other countries and then to the united states
