Olivetti

Like Sony, Olivetti eschews a corporate symbol, instead using the letters of its name to suggest a product of quality and style. Devised by Walter Ballmer, this latest logo, with its rounded, lowercase letters, has evolved from three earlier designs, dating back to a 1934 version by X. Schawinsky.
