Reminiscing about becoming a teenager in the early 90s, and thought I’d share just a few of the logos that brought back memories.
If there was a soundtrack, The Prodigy probably headlined.
Mario Kart and Super Tennis on the SNES. I always thought that four button symbol was a bit odd.

Riding the buffers on NIR (Northern Ireland Railways). The monogram isn’t used anymore. A good mark, though.

Playing football until it was too dark to see. When I sported the USA shirt most people thought I was a Sunderland fan.

I failed the acid test.
Love it… the Jilted album cover still remains one of my favs — back when life was much simpler — no work, school, living at home, easy life!
Ah, those Maxell cassettes bring back a lot of memories.
David, congrats. I got my copy of your book “LOGO DESIGN LOVE”, and it becomes part of my trove of creative resources for brand identity. Keep me posted David.
The inside illustration brought a flashback, too, Derek. Here’s a small sample of recent music likes in case you’re interested.
Thanks so much, Simon.
The design styles of the 90s are so different from today’s. Logos used to be more simple, strong and distinctive. These days designs are so ambiguous and all look like the same.
