People are just noticing this weird detail in Ford's century-old logo
Briefly

The Ford logo, featuring a unique curlicue on the 'F', has been part of the brand's identity since the 1910s, surprising many who assume it's a recent embellishment. A recent TikTok challenge highlighted viewers' mixed perceptions of its authenticity, as the ornate design appears out of place in today's minimal branding landscape. Though Ford considered a modern logo redesign in 1966, they opted to maintain the classic script. The logo, inspired by founder Henry Ford's signature, serves as a reminder of the rich history and evolution of brand identity over the last century.
