Companies like Pepsi spend millions of dollars on their logos, but some iconic logos like Google and Coca-Cola didn’t cost a single penny and they have remained almost unchanged since they were originally designed. This may well be due to their clever use of colors and the psychology of emotions behind them. On the other hand, having an elite logo is well worth the cost. Some logos, like Apple or Nike, are so powerful they don’t even need word-marks to be recognizable. In fact, psychologists proved that famous logos are so wired into our brains, that at the age of 2 kids can already link a product with its logo in 67% of cases.

Visual Images Online: Digital Images of Primary Material on the Web

Visual resources online: Digital images of primary materials on public Web sites
C&RL News, May 2008
Vol. 69, No. 5

by Anne Blecksmith

When searching for images, the Internet is often the first and sometimes only research resource for scholars and educators, but many open-access digital image collections are part of the deep Web, keeping important visual content out of a search engine’s reach. In recent years, libraries, archives, and historical societies across the United States have created rich online visual resource collections that include a wealth of subjects and media formats. Researchers now have access to millions of primary materials from any Internet-accessible computer, which would otherwise require an in-person visit to the physical collection.
