Ever wonder what Häagen-Dazs means? It means nothing.  Creator Reuben Mattus invented the word to make it sound  "Danish-sounding," essentially in homage. This takes their slogan, "made  like no other," to a whole new level. 29.

Since RCA wanted people still  watching on black-and-white TV to know what they were missing, NBC  created a colorful logo to adapt to the new technology.30.

In fact, each of  these hoops represent the 4 founding companies of the Auto-Union  Consortium way back in 1932: like DKW, Horch, Wanderer and Audi.</blockquote>
