My sincere apologies for an article that will add absolutely no value. However, I came across a wonderful little piece of trivia I just could not help but share.
Anyone who has had anything to do with digital media devices, especially digital cameras, would be well acquainted with the ubiquitous SD memory card.
They seem like they have been around forever even though we first saw them in 2000.
Now look carefully at the logo.
Notice that the ‘D’ resembles one half of an optical disk such as a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. The ‘SD’ logo actually stood for ‘Super Density Disc’, Toshiba’s failed DVD format.
I guess someone could not see the point in employing a graphic designer when they could borrow an old piece of work that already looked the part!
My thanks to Wikipedia for that wonderful piece of enlightenment!
