McDonald’s Logo Information and History
The McDonalds logo has been around for many years, but it underwent a major change before Ray Croc's fast food career began. Originally written in bright red with jagged edges, the McDonalds logo was a much different look from what we know today. In addition to the famous Golden Arches, the logo has become an icon of American pop culture. It has become synonymous with such words as "I'm Lovin' It" and "Happy Meal."
The Golden Arches are the most recognized part of the McDonalds logo. The golden arches were the substance of the newly-constructed architecture of the first franchised restaurant in 1952. Ray Kroc took these arches and incorporated them into a logo that looked like the letter 'M.' The new logo remained a dominant part of the company's identity for more than fifty years. In addition to its iconic symbol, the McDonalds logo incorporates red and golden primary colours.
Color plays an important role in the McDonalds logo. The company uses red and yellow to make its logo more appealing. While these colors are commonly associated with food, they are also associated with nature and environment friendliness. McDonald's has been criticised in the past for not being environmentally friendly, but it has recently made efforts to become more eco-friendly. In addition to using environmentally friendly refrigeration, they convert used oil to biodiesel fuel.
Basic Colors
We've taken a look at the image and pulled out some colors that are common across lots of logos. The colors below aren't the exact colors found in the image, but approximations to common colors.
Advanced Colors
We've extracted the below 'advanced colors' from the logo. These should be much closer to the actual colors found in the logo. Our extractor tries to only take the main colors of the image and tries to ignore shading on anti-aliasing or shadows. This generally leads to better results, but in some circumstances you might find a few unusual colors being pulled from the logo.
Hex Colors
The below are the hex colors that are found in the logo. You can assume that these are the actual colors used in the logo. Our color extraction tool that takes the colors from the logo tries to ignore anti-aliasing and shadows, so you may sometimes find a slightly odd result, but this is rare. These colors should be very similar to the Advanced Colors, but you'll notice subtle differences. If you're interested in the exact color then use the hex, but if you're trying to describe the logo then use the Advanced Color or the Basic Color above.
