Hat-tip to James for this handy compendium of the design history of 12 brands, from the iconic Coca-Cola to the subversive OBEY campaign (pictured above). For the student of design, there are not a ton of surprises, but it still offers some interesting behind-the-scenes insights. One nugget we enjoyed: the Tiffany box has it's own Pantone designation: 1837. Why that number? That's the year Tiffany was founded.
