Default The Man Behind The FedEx Logo

Recently, I have become very interested in branding and advertising. It all started with hearing a radio ad from one of my clients. So, typical of me, I began researching all over the place and it was inevitable that I would come to the FedEx logo. Thought I'd share this interview with the man behind the arrow.

Maybe he was talking about the dunes aproaching on 6 or 7.

Until a few years ago I never saw the "arrow" - that's until I read this article (or maybe another one where he was explaining the logo). Now, the arrow is the first thing I see when I see the Fedex logo...

I thought so too ... Dockweiler maybe? Got a good laugh out of it. When I think of sand dunes I think of Yuma. Don't think even an advertising guy could get that far off course, at least in a simulator. Good thing he stuck to his day job - he's obviously superb at it.

Thanks for posting the interview. Very interesting.

Is that Arabic? I'm just guessing since it 'reads' right to left...
