The history of the McDonald's logo dates back to 1953 when the original design featured a simple, bold red-and-white color scheme with the name "McDonald's" displayed in a classic font. However, it was in 1962 that the golden arches were introduced, initially as part of the restaurant's architecture. The arches soon became synonymous with the brand, evolving into the logo's centerpiece. Over time, the logo was refined, with the arches becoming more stylized and integrated into a cleaner, more modern design. Today, the McDonald's golden arches symbolize global recognition, quality, and fast food innovation.
