I have come to the realization that I am in the wrong business. It seems I should be creating company logos. All you need is a circle (preferably blue), slightly change somebody else's logo and charge $50,000. The following logos are major companies, some of which you may recognize. I tried to organize them in a type of evolutionary order so you can see the similarities. All logos are the properties of the companies they represent.
