Logos can be cute, cool, sharp, soft, edgy, and friendly all at the same time. In other words, they pack a lot into a small space.<\/p>\n

But contrary to what you may think, the best logos don\u2019t always come from painstaking research, late-night development sessions, and countless drafts. They\u2019re sometimes the result of frenzied moments of inspiration-induced napkin scribbling.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, here are five famous logos that were created just like that.<\/p>\n

1. Canadian National Rail logo (1960)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The inspiration for the Canadian National Rail logo (CN) came to Allan Fleming during a flight to New York<\/a> after he had been contemplating different ideas. Armed with a cocktail napkin, an ignited imagination, and the goal to create an image with a timeless quality, he got to scribbling, and the rest is history.<\/p>\n

Before his death in 1977, Fleming said, “I think this symbol will last for 50 years at least. I don’t think it will need any revision, simply because it is designed with the future in mind. Its very simplicity guarantees its durability.” It’s been 57 years and counting!<\/p>\n
