Some Logos For Finance

<p>In the good old days, banks, building societies and financial institutions represented solidity, security and best of all, trust. Logo design reflected that, often being throwbacks to designs or symbols developed hundreds of years ago.The distinctive Black Horse logo of Lloyds TSB for example had its beginnings in 1677 when it was thought of by Humphrey Stockes, a goldsmith and ‘keeper of the running cashes’. In 1884 Lloyds absorbed the Lombard Street bank of Barnetts, Hoares, Hanbury & Co who had inherited the symbol and this marked the beginning of the bank’s association with the black horse.
