Canon Logo Evolution

I had no idea that this logo had changed so much, although it’s basically the same since 1935. The early ‘Bhoddisatva’ logo is a revelation.

The first one is strange. Judging from the dates, the first three were used simultaneously during some years

THE last one is the best.

Did a project on Canon in school before, my father was a part-time photographer and we had our own photography developing in the house when I was growing up.
The first one is strange, but it’s a Buddhist word and figure I believe and changed over time probably to make it more appealing to sell outside Japan.

Probably as strange as Apple’s first logo.
